SCP-3016 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3016 Special Containment Procedures: + EXPAND Standard Containment Procedures - COLLAPSE Standard Containment Procedures SCP-3016 must be stored within a vacuumized containment chamber that has been fitted with an array of permanent magnets capable of holding the object stationary in space, and out of contact with any solid surfaces. Two electronically actuated clamps must be installed, to be used as brakes with the aim of limiting the rotational velocity of SCP-3016 to 500 rpm. This brake must be inspected at least once per week and replaced as needed. The second clamp is to be used to limit the motion of SCP-3016 while the primary brake is undergoing maintenance. These clamps must be connected to a backup battery, capable of maintaining the operation of the clamping mechanism for at least 24 hours without power from the Site's main generator. NOTE: By Order of the Deputy Site Director, the above containment procedures have been discontinued. Until such time as it is safe for them to be reinstated, the temporary measures outlined below are to be utilized instead. + EXPAND Temporary Containment Procedures - COLLAPSE Temporary Containment Procedures SCP-3016 has rendered Level 7 of Site-55 uninhabitable due to extreme heat. As a temporary containment measure, all doors to Level 7 has been closed off, all elevators have been programmed to avoid stopping at the affected level, and thermal insulation has been applied in any essential stairwells passing through. All ventilation shafts connected to Level 7 must be redirected to lead outside the compound in an attempt to release the generated heat. Research into a means of reestablishing original containment is ongoing. Description: SCP-3016 is a highly-polished spinning top, appearing to be made of steel or iron due to its magnetic properties, that experiences rotational acceleration with no known force acting upon it. This acceleration varies wildly, from 0.5 rads/s2 to [REDACTED], with no recognized pattern. The source of the required kinetic energy for this to take place is unknown. SCP-3016 displays incredible durability, and while materials testing has been limited, the object has yet to receive even minor abrasion. Long-term application of a speed-limiting clamp has yet to damage SCP-3016 at all, despite the need for the clamp to be replaced ██ times since recovery. While SCP-3016 can be picked up and held immobile, it will continue to exert a torque on anything holding it in place. This torque, like the object's usual acceleration, varies wildly, and has been known to cause damage to any agent resisting it. Because of this, SCP-3016 can only be restrained for short periods of time. Addendum 1: Site 55 Containment Breach At 0855 on ██/██/████, eight of Site 55's Keter-class entities were able to breach containment, causing a failure of both primary and backup generators throughout the facility, and resulting in the loss of ██ personnel. While power was disabled, both the primary and secondary brakes restraining SCP-3016 shut down, and the object was able to accelerate uncontrollably for several hours. Upon the successful restoration of power to the facility, all escaped entities save SCP-████ had been recontained, with minimal further casualties. During the outage, all telemetry on SCP-3016 was lost. A maintenance unit consisting of two personnel is sent to look into the feasibility of restoring full containment. It is to be noted that due to the variable acceleration of SCP-3016, its rotational velocity at this point in time is unknown. Both personnel arrive at the SCP-3016 containment chamber, and reported that containment was stable, although not intact. The object was at this time suspended in space by the magnets, and it remained within a vacuum, but both clamps melted upon being engaged. Shortly thereafter SCP-████ was sighted on Level 7, and both personnel donned vacuum suits and attempted to take refuge within the SCP-3016 containment chamber. SCP-████ was able to detect the personnel, however, and managed to breach the vacuumized unit. The resulting implosion resulted in the destruction of much of the chamber itself, as well as the loss of both maintenance personnel and the apparent termination of SCP-████. Addendum 2: SCP-3016 Post-Breach Investigation At the time of the explosive decompression of the SCP-3016 containment chamber, the object had already reached an unknown, but dangerously high, rotational velocity. Within five minutes of the collapse, the ambient temperature within Level 7 had risen by 10°C, and continued to rise from that point. The Temporary Containment Procedures listed above were put into place within five hours of the final breach. Three members of MTF Beta-7 ("Maz Hatters") were called in to examine the affected floor in greater detail. This team was supervised directly by Site Director Jacob Cole. + EXPAND Audio Log: SCP-3016 Post-Breach Exploration - COLLAPSE Audio Log: SCP-3016 Post-Breach Exploration [BEGIN LOG] Alpha: Command, this is Alpha. We're on Level 7, just in front of the insulation. Command: Acknowledged. Sound off. Alpha: Alpha, check. Bravo: Bravo, check. Delta: Delta, check. You got any idea what it's like in there, Command? Command: We know it's hot in there, but not much else. CCTV and about all other sensors melted a while ago. Alpha: Acknowledged, Command. Proceeding on your orders. Command: Beta-Seven, you may proceed. Alpha: We're moving into the red zone now. Delta: I'm reading over 200 degrees Centigrade, Command. You may have a bit of a problem. Bravo: And still climbing, but pretty slowly. It's a bit hotter over that way - guess we know the skip's still where it's supposed to be. Beta-7 personnel move for several minutes, following the temperature gradient to its source. As they approach, a reddish glow is visible down one of the corridors. Alpha: We have visual on the skip, command. More or less. Bravo: Yeah, that's some intense black-body radiation. 3016 must be spinning pretty quick to do that. Delta: We're actually getting pretty close to the heat tolerances on these suits. I read 400 Celsius. Alpha: We're still pretty good for a while, Delta. They can take a little past 500 before they start to break down. Bravo: Hang on a second, is that… Alpha: Looks like it. Command, we've got positive confirmation that SCP-████ has been neutralized. Delta: Wow, charred to the bone. Don't see that every day. Alpha: Which means that over there must be what's left of the chamber. Bravo: Jesus, that's bright. Command, this skip has managed to heat the air by quite a bit. Delta: My thermometer reads - Wow, it's… uh… melted, actually. We should probably head out pretty soon. Command: Beta-Seven, get out of there. Delta's right. Bravo: Hold up a second. You all read the old procedures for 3016? Alpha: 'Course we did. Bravo: Didn't they say something about a backup battery? I'm not seeing one. Command: Beta-Seven, return to base, now. Alpha: Just one more thing, Command. The battery should be right about… there. But there's just empty floor. Command: Beta-Seven, get out of there. That's an order. Alpha: Acknowledged. We've seen about all there is to see here. We're on our way out. [END LOG] After the Beta-7 team described the observed lax containment procedures in their final report, the Ethics Committee conducted a full investigation. After confirming that Special Containment Procedures had not been correctly followed, it was also discovered that several additional Safe and Euclid class objects had been contained improperly. The Ethics Committee requested an audit of the financial records of Site 55, and discovered that a portion of the funds allocated for containment were unaccounted for. A further investigation recovered paperwork implicating Site Director Jacob Cole, who later confessed to embezzling Foundation Resources for personal gain. Director Cole was immediately removed from office, amnesticized, and released into life as a civilian with no memory of his career with the Foundation. Research into a means of restoring containment to SCP-3016 is ongoing. CCTV Capability on Level 7 has yet to be reestablished. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3016" by GeometryPrime, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3017 | euclid | Mugshot of Frasier Melbrook following a 20█4 arrest. Item #: SCP-3017 Special Containment Procedures (Updated): Frasier Melbrook's cremated remains have been scattered over █ locations, all of which are under automated surveillance. The locations are stored in individual files under separate subdirectories under Level █ Clearance. Any attempt to access any of the files pertaining to the location of the remains, intentionally or otherwise, will automatically alert RAISA administrators. All personnel attempting to access these files are to be administered Class-A amnestics and removed from active duty for a period of no less than 2 weeks. If symptoms of SCP-3017-A appear in any Foundation personnel and persist following administration of Class-A amnestics, SCP-3017 will be redesignated as Euclid, new procedures will be drafted, and all affected personnel will be given further amnestic therapy on a case by case basis. Symptoms of exposure may include repeated or prolonged access to this file and related files, attempting to access files pertaining to the location of Melbrook's remains, attempting to access the remains themselves, creation of additional material related to SCP-3017, and any attempt to violate these containment procedures. Archived Special Containment Procedures, Void as of 1/1/20█7 Access Logged Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3017 is contained in a standard humanoid containment cell at Area-55. The entrance to the cell is to be guarded at all times by no fewer than three armed security personnel. Visual and audio feeds of the inside of the cell are to be monitored at all times by no fewer than three security personnel. Any malfunctioning cameras or microphones must be repaired without delay. Personnel interacting with SCP-3017 are not to do so continuously for more than 1 hour without Level-4 approval. Any personnel exhibiting violent or obsessive behavior towards SCP-3017 are to be administered a Class-A amnestic. SCP-3017-1 instances are to remain under surveillance by clandestine assets. Any attempts by SCP-3017-1 to raise awareness of SCP-3017's containment, or of the containment of other SCP-3017-1 instances, shall be dealt with via standard information suppression techniques to prevent any security breach. Individual instances may be contained for the purposes of extracting information from SCP-3017, or to discourage lack of cooperation. No additional privileges are to be given to SCP-3017 for good behavior. Lack of cooperation by SCP-3017 may be dealt with by withholding of rations for no more than 24 hours, removal of basic amenities, sleep deprivation, corporal punishment, containment of SCP-3017-1 instances, and threat of harm of SCP-3017-1 instances. Description: (Void as of 1/1/20█7) SCP-3017 is Frasier Melbrook, a male aged 25 years old at the time of initial containment. SCP-3017 is believed to have extensive ties to several anomalous groups, and is suspected of having committed multiple robberies, assaults, and murders. SCP-3017 has been arrested 23 times, but has never been formally indicted, most likely due to its secondary effect. SCP-3017's primary anomaly affects all subjects coming in close proximity. Subjects who make direct visual contact or engage in conversation with SCP-3017 have a 1-5% chance per minute of becoming spontaneously aware of SCP-3017's criminal disposition. Subjects do not gain knowledge of SCP-3017's specific crimes, only a general understanding of its violent nature. Subjects exposed to SCP-3017 for periods greater than 1 hour may begin to experience a compulsion to ensure SCP-3017 remains incarcerated. Further exposure can result in obsessive or violent behavior, though this is easily remedied with amnestic treatment. SCP-3017's secondary anomaly manifests in its ability to evade extended incarceration. This effect is believed to be voluntary, but the exact mechanism for the phenomenon is unknown. SCP-3017's secondary anomaly has been a severe barrier to containment, but can be mitigated with the use of SCP-3017-1. SCP-3017-1 is the collective designation for 12 13 14 people who are entirely immune from SCP-3017's primary effect, and are unable to be convinced of SCP-3017's criminal activity. A table of all currently known SCP-3017-1 instances can be found under Addendum 3017-1-A. The threat of incarceration, harm, or death of SCP-3017-1 instances greatly reduces the effects of SCP-3017's secondary anomaly. The use of SCP-3017-1 for this purpose has been shown to be far more effective than conventional disciplinary action, and serves the dual function of being an incentive for SCP-3017 to divulge sensitive information. However, conventional means are generally preferred due to logistical constraints The use of SCP-3017-1 is the preferred method for obtaining information from SCP-3017. Addendum 3017-1 A: The following is a list of known SCP-3017-1 instances and their relation to SCP-3017. Designation Name Age Relation to SCP-3017 SCP-3017-1-01 Vivian Melbrook-Fortuin 48 Mother SCP-3017-1-02 Beck Melbrook Sr. 49 Father SCP-3017-1-03 Zara Melbrook 18 Sister SCP-3017-1-04 Beck Melbrook Jr. 16 Brother SCP-3017-1-05 Max Melbrook 11 Brother SCP-3017-1-06 Tabatha Fortuin 78 Maternal Grandmother SCP-3017-1-07 Nadia Alvin 24 Fiance SCP-3017-1-08 Eugene Stein 26 Former Classmate SCP-3017-1-09 Anna Meier 25 Former Classmate SCP-3017-1-10 Victor Abbott 27 Former Romantic Partner SCP-3017-1-11 Max Friedrich 35 Neighbor SCP-3017-1-12 Kaitlyn Adelardi 22 Former Romantic Partner Addendum: Mitigation of SCP-3017's Secondary Effect Following repeated attempts at containment breach by SCP-3017, Dr. Paris Kiran and Researcher Kathleen Rylan began an investigation of subject's previous incarcerations. It was discovered that shortly prior to SCP-3017's 22nd arrest and longest period of police incarceration, SCP-3017-1-04 was diagnosed with leukemia. A proposal was approved to investigate how SCP-3017's perception of SCP-3017-1's well being could be used to mitigate its secondary effect. The following interview was conducted by Researcher Rylan on 1/29/20█6 <Begin Log> Rylan: Good afternoon, SCP-3017. How are you feeling? SCP-3017: I feel like the time Beck caught me in the eye when we were playing catch. Rylan: So, you've been giving the guards a hard time lately. SCP-3017: No, I haven't. Look, if this is about the other day, I already told you that I didn't do anything. Rylan: You were trying to escape. SCP-3017: I was walking to the bathroom, and he tackled me. Rylan: I would have done the same if you were trying to attack me. SCP-3017: I barely even looked at him. Are we seriously getting into this again? Rylan: You know what? You're right. Dr. Kiran already went through this with you. SCP-3017: Yeah, I've had enough of her to last me a lifetime. Rylan: (laughs) Haven't we all? SCP-3017: Geez. Rylan: Um, well, you mentioned your brother just a moment ago. He finished his treatment just this past June, right? SCP-3017: Yeah. he did. Why? Did… did something happen to Beck? Rylan: No, no. Not as far as we know. SCP-3017: Then what are you getting at? Rylan: Well… we've received word that your grandmother has been diagnosed with lung cancer. SCP-3017: …What? Rylan: She went to a clinic about… SCP-3017: Yeah, I heard you! Rylan: I understand that you're upset, but we… SCP-3017: Yes, I am upset! I'm goddamn upset! I'm upset that you guys are keeping me here when something like this happens! I need to be there for her! I need to be there for my family! Rylan: I'm sorry, but we can't let you go. You need to understand this. SCP-3017: No, you need to understand… Rylan: Stop! This is important, and I need you to listen, OK? SCP-3017: (sighs) Fine. Rylan: Right now, the doctors think they can treat it. If all goes well she'll be fine. But in order for that to happen, we need you to cooperate. SCP-3017: What do you mean? Rylan: What I mean is… look, it wasn't my decision, but if you keep trying to pull all the stuff with the guards, we won't let her get treatment. SCP-3017: But, but that that's crazy! You can't do that! Rylan: It wasn't my call, I'm sorry. SCP-3017: No, you can't do this! Rylan: This is just what they decided to do, and I can't change that. I get it, you're upset and you're worried. But right now, the best thing you can do for her is cooperate with us, alright? SCP-3017: But I can't just stay here. I need to be with her. Rylan: You can't right now, I'm sorry. I know you care about her. But if you want to help her, you have to stop all these escape attempts. SCP-3017: I… can you at least keep me updated on how she's doing? Rylan: I'll try. SCP-3017: Alright then. I'll do what you want. <End Log> SCP-3017 has not attempted to breach containment in the 4 months following this recommendation. Currently, monitoring of SCP-3017-1-06 has shown no major chronic health problems. Addendum: Memorandum, 02/19/20█6 Given SCP-3017's known and suspected ties to anomalous groups, the subject is a potential gold mine of information. Thus far, however, all conventional methods of interrogation have failed to yield any useful intelligence. With so much valuable intelligence to be obtained, we must look into alternative means of getting the subject to divulge the information we need. SCP-3017's secondary effect has been shown to be mitigated by the belief that SCP-3017-1 instances are in some form of danger. The secondary effect is voluntary on SCP-3017's part; it is mitigated when SCP-3017 does not want to escape, or is more concerned with other matters. Thus, its concern for those it considers close outweighs its desire to escape. Our psychological evaluation of SCP-3017 highlights this attribute as a dominant part of its personality. The possible application here is obvious. SCP-3017-1 may be just the incentive we need to finally extract the information we need. By containing individual instances of SCP-3017-1, and convincing SCP-3017 that they are in danger, I believe the subject will be far more cooperative. SCP-3017-1 are classified as anomalous, and as such it is within our jurisdiction to contain them if need be. I propose that we contain individual instances on a temporary basis as needed, and then administer an amnestic and release them. At the expense of few resources, we may soon have access to large amounts of intelligence. -Dr. Kiran Proposal approved by Area-55 Director █████████, 02-21-20█6. Interview Int-3017-13: On 03/13/20█6, SCP-3017-1-07 was placed into containment at Area-55 in order to evaluate the efficacy of using SCP-3017-1 instances to gather intelligence from SCP-3017. The following interview was conducted by Dr. Kiran while SCP-3017-1-07 was contained on site. <Begin Log> Kiran: SCP-3017, do you believe you are ready to cooperate with us and provide us with the information we have been requesting regarding [REDACTED]? SCP-3017: For the love of god, I keep telling you that I don't know what that is. Kiran: Very well. In that case, please look at this screen and tell me what you see. (SCP-3017 looks at the screen of Dr. Kiran's computer, which displays the live feed of SCP-3017-1-07's containment cell. Subject displays shock) SCP-3017: Why the hell are you showing me this? Kiran: Answer my question, SCP-3017. What do you see on the screen? SCP-3017: I see that you sick fucks are trying to make me think my girlfriend's been kidnapped. You're a real piece of work. Kiran: SCP-3017-1-07 has been detained and placed into our custody. Now… (Subject stands up and slams its hands on the table.) SCP-3017: Why?! My brother and my grandma might both be dying, and you're just going to keep me here and kidnap Nadia?! You're all goddamn psychos! Kiran: Sit down or I will have the guards remove you back to your cell. (Subject sits back down.) Kiran: That's better. Now, you have refused to provide the information we've been requesting over the course of your containment. We need that information, and we need it now. That is why we have decided to see if you would be more cooperative with a new incentive. SCP-3017: You can't do this to her, she hasn't done anything! Please, I swear to god, she'll go insane in here, she'll die! I can't let you do this! Kiran: If you give us what we want, then SCP-3017-1-7… SCP-3017: She has a name! Are you really that… Kiran: If you give us the information we need, she will not be harmed. She will be released from our custody and sent home with no memory of this. SCP-3017: But, I already said I don't know anything! How can I tell you what I don't fucking know? Kiran: We both know that isn't true. SCP-3017: To hell it isn't! Besides, how do you expect me to trust you to let her go? You've been keeping me here for god knows how long, and for what? Zilch! And now you want to do the same to her?! How do I know that you won't… Kiran: SCP-3017, do you want to find out what will happen to her if you continue to be uncooperative? (SCP-3017 covers its face with its hands and is silent for several seconds before responding.) SCP-3017: I'll… I guess I'll try to tell you something. I don't know much about it, but I'll try. [SUBSEQUENT DIALOGUE CLASSIFIED] <End Log> Extensive information regarding several groups, particularly [REDACTED] was obtained during this interview. SCP-3017-1-07 was subsequently amnesticized and released. Addendum: Memorandum, 03/20/20█6 In the course of looking over the information provided by SCP-3017 during the interview on 03-13-20█6, I have found a great deal of inconsistency. In particular, [REDACTED] really doesn't make sense when considering [REDACTED]. Furthermore much of his story doesn't match up at all from information we have obtained from both field agents and from members of [REDACTED]. I seriously doubt that SCP-3017's information can be considered reliable. I don't know if it just doesn't know anything, or if it's still determined to keep information away from us. But I suspect the latter right now. -Researcher Rylan Interview Int-3017-24: By 04/16/20█6, SCP-3017-1-05, -08, -10, and -12 had all been detained as further incentive for SCP-3017's cooperation. On 04/16/20█6, Dr. Kiran was given special clearance to conduct the following interview. Prior to the interview, SCP-3017-1-10 was sedated and removed to a separate cell. Interview was conducted with SCP-3017 in the adjacent observation room. <Begin Log> Kiran: OK, and let's start. SCP-3017, I'm going to show you an object, and then I'm going to ask you to tell me what you think it is. SCP-3017: Fine, let's get this over with. (Dr. Kiran places a spent hollow point bullet on the table) SCP-3017: I have no idea what that is. Kiran: Alright. Now, I'm going to show you another object, and I want you do do the same thing. (Dr. Kiran places an unspent hollow point bullet on the table, followed by several seconds of silence.) SCP-3017: …That's a bullet. Kiran: Very good. Now, do you have a better idea as to what the first object was? SCP-3017: It's a bullet too then. Is it? I… I don't know. Kiran: Yes, it's a bullet. Why do you think it's shaped like that? (Several seconds of silence.) Kiran: OK, how about I tell you then. These are hollow points. The reason that bullet is shaped like that is because it was fired through something. (Dr. Kiran rises from her chair, and activates the lights in the adjacent cell.) Kiran: And in that room, is what I fired it through. Take a look. SCP-3017: (unintelligible) Kiran: What was that? (SCP-3017 stands up.) SCP-3017: I'll kill you, you fucking bastard! (Dr. Kiran quickly produces a pistol and aims it at SCP-3017. Several seconds of silence.) Kiran: Sit back down. Now. (SCP-3017 sits back down, now breathing heavily.) Kiran: This is what happens when you lie to us. SCP-3017: Please… Kiran: The more you lie, the worse this is going to get for you. Now, are you going to give us the information we need, or not? SCP-3017: I don't know anything. I'm sorry. Please… Kiran: That's bullshit and we both know it. SCP-3017: Are you going to shoot me or not?! (Dr. Kiran fires the pistol at the acrylic glass observation window.) Kiran: We're sick of your games. Start telling the truth, or I will shoot him again. SCP-3017: I can't… why would you…oh god… (SCP-3017 begins crying for several minutes. Interview terminated.) <End Log> SCP-3017-1-10 and SCP-3017 were uninjured and returned to containment. Addendum 3017-1 g35a: On 04/29/20█6, Researcher Rylan submitted the following proposal to Area-55 Director █████████. Level 3 Clearance Required Access Granted After looking further into our documentation, I've been shocked to see that practically no concrete evidence of SCP-3017's criminal history, anomalous or otherwise, actually exists. I can find no physical evidence, no photographic evidence, and no video or audio recordings. All that we have is witness testimony, but given SCP-3017's mind-affecting properties, I do not believe any of this can be considered valid. I am becoming more and more convinced that my earlier conclusion regarding SCP-3017 was wrong. I think it honestly does not know the information that we've been asking, and has been making up information so as to protect SCP-3017-1. Not only do I believe further efforts to gain information for SCP-3017 are useless, I am also convinced that our current attempts may be a violation of ethics protocols. Right now, SCP-3017 is still convinced that its grandmother has cancer, and that we shot its ex-boyfriend dead right in front of it. On that note, how were Dr. Kiran's actions from 2 weeks ago not grounds for a reassignment at the very least? I am formally requesting that all SCP-3017-1 instances be released until we can do more thorough investigation. This has gone too far. At the recommendation of Dr. Kiran, Researcher Rylan has been redesignated SCP-3017-1-13 and placed under containment. Incident I-3017 05-17-20█6 On 05/17/20█6, SCP-3017-1-13 escaped from her cell with the assistance of Security Officer Rudolf Caridad. SCP-3017-1-13 proceeded to manually trigger Area-55's breach alarm, while Security Officer Caridad directed Security Officers stationed at SCP-3017's cell to seek shelter elsewhere in the facility. SCP-3017-1-13 then proceeded to enter SCP-3017's cell and assist the subject in escaping containment. Security personnel were unable to apprehend SCP-3017 or SCP-3017-1-13, and both are believed to have escaped the facility. Security Officer Caridad was redesignated SCP-3017-1-14 and placed under containment. Dr. Kiran was reported missing following this event, but reappeared at Area-55 on 05/25/20█6. Still frame from footage of Incident I-3017-1 N Incident I-3017-1 N On 05/23/20█6, at approximately 0300 local time, a fire began at SCP-3017's previous residence. The fire quickly spread, destroying the residence and 2 adjacent houses. SCP-3017-1-01 through -07 and -11 perished in the fire, along with 2 civilians. The cause of the fire is under investigation was found to be arson. Incident I-3017-EX SCP-3017 was found dead on 05/24/20█6. Subject is believed to have jumped from a bridge approximately 1km from its previous residence. SCP-3017-1-13 was recovered nearby and recontained without resistance. The following interview was conducted with SCP-3017-1-13 by Dr. Kiran two days later. <Begin Log> Kiran: Alright, you're aware of all the procedure here, so I'll just get right… SCP-3017-1-13: Don't try to act like this is a normal thing, Paris. We both know it's not. If you're asking about the breach, Rudy will be able fill you in on everything. He did all the work there. Kiran: I'm not interested in the breach. I'm interested in what transpired with you and SCP-3017 after you managed to escape. SCP-3017-1-13: We hitchhiked to [REDACTED], his house burned down, he jumped into traffic. I don't want to talk about this. Kiran: We need specifics. SCP-3017-1-13: OK, fine. Specify what you want to know. Kiran: Alright. Tell us about when you arrived in [REDACTED]. SCP-3017-1-13: Well, we got to the outskirts at something like 3 or 4 in the morning. The fire had already started by then, because we could see the light of it. Frasier was leading the way, just getting more and more panicked, and I realized that the fire was around where his house was. He broke into a sprint, and I lost him for a little bit, but I just followed the flames and I found him staring at a disaster area. Kiran: While you were in the vicinity, did you see anyone suspicious, anyone at all? SCP-3017-1-13: We only saw the firefighters. Kiran: Are you absolutely sure? SCP-3017-1-13: Yes, I'm pretty damn sure. The house was nearly coming down when I got there, so if someone set the fire, they were probably long gone at that point. Kiran: And, um, how was SCP-3017 acting at that point? SCP-3017-1-13: What the hell do you expect? I went to try and hold him back because I thought he was going to try and go in, but it started collapsing and he just fell to his knees. I guess I think he knew it was too late at that point. He cried for so long, and I just tried to get him away from the fire at that point. Kiran: How long would you say you remained there? SCP-3017-1-13: I have no clue. I managed to get him to go a little farther down the street, but after that he didn't move until the sun had come up. Kiran: How was…. how would you describe SCP-3017's behavior at that point. SCP-3017-1-13: What do you think? Kiran: Please just describe it for me. SCP-3017-1-13: He was… scared and just broken. I got him away from that street, and then he started muttering to himself "I don't want to die," and I tried to tell him that he was safe but he was just so broken. I've never seen… god, I've never seen anyone that… that shattered. (SCP-3017-1-13 pauses and wipes her face.) SCP-3017-1-13: Goddamn, I can't do this. Kiran: It's alright. Can you continue? SCP-3017-1-13: I… I took him to the motel a little bit close by and bought a room with some of the cash Rudy gave us. When he was calm enough, I left him there to see if I could get any info, see if anyone got out, but… god I wanted to lie to him, just tell him something that didn't hurt him, but they were… (SCP-3017-1-13 covers her face with her hands.) Kiran: …Kathy, do you want to take a break for now? We can… SCP-3017-1-13: No! You're going to hear all of this right now! (SCP-3017-1-13 breathes heavily for several seconds.) SCP-3017-1-13: You didn't see him, you didn't get to see any of it, but I did. He… I went to sleep that night, and when I woke up the next morning he was gone. He was already dead. Kiran: Do you have any idea, any at all, as to why SCP-3017 decided to end its own life? SCP-3017-1-13: Gee, I don't know. He spent 5 days trying to get back home and see his family, only to watch them die in a fire. Maybe that was the reason? Or maybe it was because he finally thought for a second that they were going to be OK, that for once they'd all have their lives back. Is that reason enough? Is it?! (SCP-3017-1-13 takes a deep breath) SCP-3017-1-13: I'd told him… about all those things we lied to him about. I told him how long I'd been lying to him and he didn't care, he wasn't mad. He was so happy. He was so ready to see those people. He was just so happy, just wanted to live for them. He wanted to live so much. He didn't want to die. Kiran: I… I see. SCP-3017-1-13: He was so scared. He didn't want to die. I don't believe it for a second. <End Log> SCP-3017 has been redesignated as neutralized. Description (Updated): SCP-3017 was the designation for Frasier Melbrook, a male aged 27 years old at the time of his death. Subjects who made direct visual contact or engaged in conversation with Melbrook had a 1-5% chance per minute of developing SCP-3017-A. SCP-3017-A refers to a cognitohazardous effect which resulted in subjects developing a compulsion to have SCP-3017 in their custody. Subjects affected by SCP-3017-A perceived SCP-3017 as a dangerous criminal with an unusually effective ability to escape incarceration. SCP-3017-A often resulted in subjects developing an obsession with Melbrook and resisting any attempt to remove them from his vicinity. Treatment with Class-A amnestics was shown to alleviate SCP-3017-A; however, symptoms would return immediately upon subsequent exposure to SCP-3017. SCP-3017-1 was the collective designation for 12 close members of Melbrook's inner circle and 2 Foundation personnel who were immune to the effects of SCP-3017-A. As the effects of SCP-3017-A ceased upon Melbrook's death, the remaining living instances of SCP-3017-1 are no longer considered anomalous. SCP-3017-1-08 through -10 and -12 have been released back into the general population following amnestic treatment. Researcher Rylan and Security Officer Caridad (previously SCP-3017-1-13 and -14) have been reinstated into Foundation employment. Reports of Melbrook's criminal history, as well as his supposed ties to anomalous groups, are unsubstantiated. All investigations into criminal and anomalous ties have been closed. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3017" by Waterfire, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3018 | safe | close Info X More by DarkStuff~! Item #: SCP-3018 Special Containment Procedures: The forested area in Massif Central, France that contains SCP-3018 is to be surrounded by a large fence and kept as a nature conservatory, barred to the public. Ultrasound emitters releasing frequencies between 38-44 kHz1 should be laid at regular intervals on the fence to keep SCP-3018 within the enclosure. Site-31 Maintenance Staff should check for broken emitters every four days, to ensure no gaps in containment. Site-31 employees may apply - via a form given to personnel of clearance 3/3018 or higher - to spend a night within the containment zone, as it is known to greatly improve morale. Description: SCP-3018 is the designation for an anomalous species of wood-boring beetles, indigenous to a small section of forest in Massif Central, France. SCP-3018 are members of the Hylotrupes genus. Instances of SCP-3018 appear to be social and travel in swarms, which focus on one tree at a time. Instead of boring through said trees, SCP-3018 will "carve" intricate patterns onto the side of the trunk without killing it (except during Alban-C events). Patterns are in the style of Celtic knots. SCP-3018 swarms may adorn their carvings with fresh flowers2 and leaves3, and will replace wilting flowers and dead leaves on the patterns with new ones. SCP-3018 enter torpor on these patterns at night (between 20:00 and 8:00), and will be hostile to beings that intend to harm any carved trees. However, SCP-3018 will adorn animals or people who lay next to these trees with flowers and leaves before entering torpor. SCP-3018 has multiple annual events, designated Alban Events. These are allowed to take place, because they are deemed harmless. The reason for these events is unknown. Alban Events Alban-A | December 21 / 22: All instances of SCP-3018 will meet at a seemingly random point within the forest. One swarm will bring a collection of between five and ten sticks. As soon as all instances are gathered, a small swarm will emerge from the crowd to "dance" (fly up and fall repeatedly) above the sticks. Other instances circle the sticks. The dancing swarm will switch with SCP-3018 instances in the crowd at irregular intervals, so that eventually all instances will have danced at least once. This event starts at sunset (about 17:00), and lasts until dawn (about 8:45). Alban-B | March 21: Instances of SCP-3018 will search for pine cones from Scots Pine trees. Swarms will accumulate around pine cones, and dig the ground out from under them. Once a pine cone is in a small hole (between 8 and 12 cm deep), the swarm will pile dirt on top of it. SCP-3018 instances will adorn these dirt piles with one to three flowers before trying to find another pine cone. This behavior begins at sunrise (about 7:00), and ends around noon (12:00). Alban-C | June 21: All swarms of SCP-3018 will gather around a single tree in the forest, and begin to devour it. At an indeterminate time in the process, all SCP-3018 instances will transition to picking all the leaves off of the tree and arranging them into an ornate Celtic knot surrounding the tree. Once this action is done, all SCP-3018 instances will stay on the pattern of leaves, while continuing to flap their wings. This creates a low hum. This event begins at noon (about 12:00) and lasts for three to five hours. Alban-D | September 20 / 21 / 22: All SCP-3018 instances remain in torpor. Approximately 25% of the SCP-3018 population die during this event. Cause of death is unknown. Afterwards, on the morning of the 22nd, swarms will gather dead SCP-3018 instances and place them within the tree from the previous Alban-C event. This event begins at torpor on the 20th (at about 20:00) and ends the morning of the 22nd (at about 10:00). Addendum | Discovery of Shrine On December 19th, 1998, personnel on leave within the enclosure noticed an unusual behavior displayed by SCP-3018. A large group of SCP-3018 was entering torpor in a circle around a noticeable lump in the ground, instead of on the carved trees. Further investigation yielded a small domed roof made of limestone. GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) revealed a cylindrical structure 4.5 meters long, 4.5 meters wide and 6 meters tall, along with five human skeletons. An excavation began January 2nd, 1999, which unearthed the full structure. It appeared to be a shrine, with a roof held up by four pillars, and a basin on a pedestal in the middle. The bottom of the basin was carved with a Celtic knot, and was heavily discolored from chitin and dried human blood. Each pillar had a sconce containing a candle, and smoke stains suggest that three of the four candles had been lit. The five human skeletons were found to be adult females with silver rings on their fingers. Four of the bodies were found with arrowheads near or inside their skeletons. Two of the skulls suffered heavy impact trauma. The fifth body was positioned by the shrine's basin, accompanied by a sacrificial dagger, dusted with a translucent green material. The skeleton showed five broken ribs, and damage done to the orbital bones, likely from a blade. SCP-3018 now hold Alban-A events exclusively on the basin within the shrine, and will enter torpor on it at night. SCP-3018 will regularly collect around the figure at the base of the shrine, and adorn it with flowers. Footnotes 1. A frequency that repels insects. 2. Most often martagon lily (Lilium martagon), luzule nivale (Luzula nivea), and calamint with large flowers (Calamintha grandiflora). 3. All from Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) trees. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3018" by DarkStuff, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-3018.

SCP-3019 | euclid | File photo of SCP-3019 shortly before Incident 3019-F1-A in 2010. Item #: SCP-3019 Special Containment Procedures: Revision-A Minimise Site-919 has been established in close proximity to SCP-3019 under the guise of a telecommunications hub to monitor any attempted intrusion into SCP-3019. Foundation Personnel are to apprehend any civilian attempting to enter SCP-3019 after sundown for questioning. Questioned civilians are to be administered class C amnestics and released. Foundation personnel are not to enter SCP-3019 after sunset without Level-3 approval. Revision-B Site-919 has been established in close proximity to SCP-3019 under the guise of a telecommunications hub. Following Incident 3019-F1-A, SCP-3019 is to be kept running and operational. A minimum of three Foundation agents are to be embedded into each department of SCP-3019 as employees for monitoring purposes and to ensure all employees within SCP-3019 vacate the property a minimum of one hour before sundown of each day. Foundation staff are to be installed under the guise of private security outside the boundary of SCP-3019 at least one hour before nightfall each day to deter any potential intruders. Under no circumstance is any intruding civilian to be followed into SCP-3019 after sunset. In the event a civilian survives a night in SCP-3019, they are to be questioned and administered Class-C Amnestics and released if appropriate. Cleaning crews are to remove any evidence of SCP-3019-A's activities before the arrival of the employees working at SCP-3019 during the day, who may not enter the grounds before 8:00AM. Description: SCP-3019 is the property owned by ██████'s Nursery, located on the outskirts of ██████████, Australia. The property covers eight square kilometres, primarily composed of the following areas: Production areas for the propagation of plants Warehouse housing industrial potting machinery Dispatch/ loading area Green waste disposal area Chemical engineering building Office building. SCP-3019's effects are not apparent in the day, and as such the Nursery is allowed to operate in this time. After sunset, however, SCP-3019 enters an active state. Approximately 45 minutes after sunset, SCP-3019-A manifests somewhere on the property of SCP-3019. SCP-3019-A is a humanoid entity standing at 1.96 metres tall with forearms appearing to be extended via wooden growth and with a severely scarred face capable of peeling back into six petal-shaped flaps via embedded vines emerging from the eye sockets, nasal passages and mouth of the skull. SCP-3019 does not appear to be impaired by low-light conditions, has been seen using tools, and has displayed extensive knowledge of horticulture. SCP-3019-A has proven capable of lifting weights in excess of 600 kilograms through use of muscles reinforced with plant cells more resistant to tearing as well as surviving typically fatal injuries via unknown means. Upon manifesting, SCP-3019-A will run through a routine composed of watering the plants, meticulously searching for any sign of pests such as caterpillars or mold, pest extermination, temperature regulation, mulching collected cadavers into fertilizer, application of fertilizer, followed by watering once more. It has been seen emitting a potent hereby unknown pesticide in the form of a gas for the purposes of pest control. When any human or certain animals1 enters the property of SCP-3019, SCP-3019-A will enter a markedly hostile state. It will immediately move to the human or animal in question by the most direct path possible without disturbing the plants. How SCP-3019 is capable of locating intruders without sensory organs is unknown. Upon locating the intruder, SCP-3019-A will attempt to disable them by bludgeoning with agricultural tools. It will then relocate the remains to the potting area of the nursery, where it will convert the remains into blood and bone fertilizer to be applied to the plants within SCP-3019. This is typically done by crushing the intruder with constricting vine like growths before feeding them into mulching units. Depending on the mass and strength of the intruder, this process can take between 1 and 4 hours. Incident 3019-F1-A: The following events occurred shortly after the Foundation's acquisition of ██████'s Nursery on 27/10/2009 following the disappearance of 84 employees during work hours and subsequent discovery of SCP-3019's anomalous features. Initial containment procedures called for the closure of ██████'s Nursery, and were seen to be sufficient to contain the anomaly. On the 4/2/2010, the following events called for the revision of containment procedures. Following sundown and the manifestation of SCP-3019-A on 9/1/2010, Foundation surveillance on the interior of SCP-3019 observed SCP-3019-A behaving in an uncharacteristically distressed nature, seemingly in response to the poor condition of the plants within SCP-3019's borders. At 09:10PM SCP-3019-A breached the perimeter wall and attempted to incapacitate 8 Foundation agents, who were able to retreat into the nearby woods, but were cut off from Command in doing so. SCP-3019-A's location was lost for 43 minutes. Mobile Task Force Theta-4 ("Gardeners") was dispatched to intercept SCP-3019-A, and reported sighting it in the woods between the town of █████ and SCP-3019. Radio contact was lost at 10:01PM. At 10:21PM, SCP-3019-A re-entered SCP-3019 whilst dragging 19 civilians and Foundation personnel restrained in a mass of vines. Agent Matthews was able to break free from SCP-3019-A's hold and attempted to escape, but was stabbed in the abdomen by SCP-3019-A and injected with an unknown substance. This resulted in the same vines used to restrain SCP-3019-A's captives rapidly growing from Agent Matthews' wounds and orifices. SCP-3019-A was able to successfully transport 6 of the captives alive into SCP-3019's office facility. When Theta-4 agents attempted to gain access to this building, the doors and windows were unable to be opened, forcing the removal of a section of wall on the southeast corner of the building. Following SCP-3019-A's tracks, they found the layout of the building disorienting and inconsistent. Analysis revealed that no psychoactive substances were present in the air as previously suspected, at which point the decision was made to withdraw the team. At 7:45AM on 11/1/2010, Theta-4 agents were able to access the office building basement area of SCP-3019, but found nothing. SCP-3019-A manifested normally and proceeded without incident to continue its daily routine. At 9:10PM the same day, 6 humanoid entities exited SCP-3019's Chemical engineering building and began caring for the plants in the same manner as SCP-3019-A. These entities resembled human beings with their skin replaced by flowering plants and soil. Root structures were fully integrated into the bodies, resulting in apparent brain death.2 DNA analysis confirmed that these entities were composed of the individuals SCP-3019-A had captured. All specimens were captured by Foundation personnel the following day for study. All specimens rapidly deteriorated upon removal from SCP-3019, and were promptly incinerated after perishing. As of the 16/1/2010, several previously unknown flowering plants have been discovered growing within the limits of SCP-3019 which display mammalian and human traits, including skin, rudimentary nervous systems, limited mobility and eyes. Analysis has shown that these flowers match DNA from individuals captured during Incident 3019-F1-A. Destruction of these specimens is currently pending. Following these events it was determined that ██████'s Nursery was to remain open and operational, with closures lasting no longer than four weeks at a time so as to avoid any possible repeat of this incident. Addendum 3019-1 On 21/10/2011 an unmanned drone equipped with infrared camera imaging was sent to film within SCP-3019 after sunset to determine SCP-3019-A's response to mechanical equipment within SCP-3019. While SCP-3019-A proved unresponsive to the presence of the drone, a tattoo of an oak tree with elaborate roots turning to flowers upon its left bicep was observed by the drone's camera. This closely matches a tattoo on the left bicep of Emily Taylor, who worked as a nursery hand at ██████'s Nursery until her disappearance on 3/10/2009. Investigation into this resulted in the discovery the following letter among the possessions of Miss Taylor addressed to her on ██████'s Nursery stationery, addressed from Mr Erik ██████, the owner of SCP-3019 prior to Foundation Acquisition. Miss Taylor, Over the past 30 years, I have striven to make this into the most successful business possible. We are a hardworking team here, and with that hard work comes the benefits of profit and promotion through our ranks, and as such we very much value hard workers. You are not a hard worker. Every time I visit the Dispatch area I see you working slowly, sloppily and spending most of your time socializing with your coworkers. Despite multiple warnings, you remain a problem for me and the team at ██████'s Nursery, and we are sick of it. You have had your second, third and final warnings, and now it is time to suffer the consequences. Enclosed in this envelope is a little something I made to improve your work performance. Perhaps this experience will finally teach you the meaning of hard work and respect for your employers. We look forward to working with you for many, many years to come. - Erik ██████ Subsequent investigation showed trace elements of soil and unknown spores in the letter. Despite ongoing search efforts, the current whereabouts of Mr ██████ are unknown. Footnotes 1. Mostly rabbits, cats, dogs, foxes and wombats 2.

SCP-3020 | keter | Item #: SCP-3020 Special Containment Procedures: Known individuals affected by SCP-3020 are to be quarantined at Areas-39, -42, -94, -102, and -129. They are to be kept in standard non-anomalous human containment cells, and efforts are to be made to ease any symptoms of SCP-3020 infestation, including injections of L-DOPA twice daily into the kidneys. Samples of SCP-3020 are to be studied only at the aforementioned areas under BSL-4. Human interaction with SCP-3020 samples is forbidden; instead, all testing is to take place using robotic armatures. Armatures that have been in contact with SCP-3020 are to be heated to 400 degrees centigrade to ensure the extermination of all SCP-3020 cells and eggs. Description: SCP-3020 is a microscopic organism of unknown genera and species, measuring less than a micron in length. SCP-3020 was believed to be most closely related to the Rabies lyssavirus virus, but observation has led the Foundation to believe that SCP-3020 is actually a parasitic organism resembling a viral body. SCP-3020 is small enough to pass the blood-brain barrier, and manifests solely in human beings, who are also the sole vector of transmission of SCP-3020. Humans infested by SCP-3020 begin to show symptoms similar to individuals affected by major depressive disorder. SCP-3020 is incurable, but treatable through L-DOPA injections at early stages. SCP-3020 operates by feeding on the chemical 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), a precursor chemical to serotonin, as well as L-DOPA, a precursor to dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine. This causes a severe dopamine and serotonin deficiency in the body, causing symptoms resembling Parkinson's disease in addition to depressive symptoms. Due to the fact that L-DOPA is responsible for the synthesis of epinephrine, infestation by SCP-3020 destroys the fight-or-flight response. SCP-3020 spreads through spawn in the sweat and tears of infested subjects; physical contact will cause a mild alleviation of symptoms related to SCP-3020 infestation, but also pose a severe risk for infection if individuals are not properly protected. SCP-3020 spawn are capable of surviving in very harsh conditions outside of the human body, and has been found capable of surviving temperatures of down to -30 degrees Centigrade. Like most viral or parasitic organisms, high concentrations of heat will kill SCP-3020. SCP-3020 appears to be capable of surviving outside of the human body indefinitely. SCP-3020 cannot be treated through use of traditional antidepressant or anti-psychotic medication that works on the principles of dopamine regulation, due to the lack of dopamine in the body. The symptoms of SCP-3020 infestation can be classified into five stages: Stage 1: Paranoia. Subjects begin having strong bouts of paranoid delusions, particularly the delusion that they are universally hated by all individuals they perceive as being associated with them. Subjects infested with SCP-3020 will begin to cease contact with individuals they associate with; this also serves to limit the spread of SCP-3020 in its initial stages of infection, allowing it to flourish, until such a time where the subject has enough colonies of SCP-3020 within them to effectively spread it. Stage 2: Fear. Paranoia in subjects becomes severe, and subjects are afraid that everyone is judging them, and believe that all individuals associating with them want them to die. Like their lives would be better off if you got out of them. So, you do. You bury yourself under work. Subjects often cut off contact with everyone who knew them. And you cry. Subjects who enter depressive episodes at this state often tremor violently, due to the aforementioned dopamine deficiency causing symptoms of Parkinson's disease to manifest. Physical contact at this stage will lead to a high chance of SCP-3020 infection, especially if contact is made with skin or tears. Stage 3: Anger. Due to the lack of dopamine, negative emotional responses become more common, including outbursts of anger. Outbursts of anger caused by SCP-3020 often lead to further terminated relationships within the subject's social and familial circles. Subjects at this stage often contemplate suicide, but only 42% of infected individuals carry it out at this stage. At this point, treatment with L-DOPA supplements becomes ineffective, and subjects begin to report a lack of sensation in their extremities. Stage 4: Numbness. Subjects are capable of moving their extremities, but are incapable of feeling tactile or pain sensation; this is believed to be partially psychosomatic, but also is due to the violent tremors causing difficulties in blood flow to the extremities. In addition, subjects will report a lack of gustatory and olfactory sensations; comparisons have been made between this phenomenon and a perpetual head cold. Subjects will often remain sedentary for hours, if not days, at a time, due to SCP-3020 multiplying within their system. SCP-3020 appears to be most effective at multiplying while subjects are conscious but sedentary. Stage 5: Terminal infection. Between 55% and 72% of subjects at this stage attempt suicide, and are often unable to move due to the severity of the tremors they experience. Subjects will often plead to die or be killed; at this point, physical contact with subjects provides the most relief to SCP-3020 symptoms, but also carries the highest risk of infection. Following the death of the subject, SCP-3020 eggs will appear in all bodily fluid and tissues, increasing the risk of infection severely. Addendum: The original author of this file, Dr. Lawrence Packard, was inadvertently exposed to SCP-3020 during a containment breach at Area-39. As of writing, Dr. Packard is still under the Foundation's employ, but is kept in quarantine. Dr. Packard may continue other aspects of his work, but is to be denied all access to SCP-3020's containment file. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3020" by (user deleted), from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3021 | safe | Signifier 3021-Alpha Signifier 3021-Beta Item #: SCP-3021 Special Containment Procedures: Instructions and supplies for performing SCP-3021 can be accessed by personnel with Level 4/3021 clearance who are either performing scheduled testing or who are involved in Project Discovery. Description: SCP-3021 is a treatment, created by [REDACTED], that consists of a drug regimen paired with controlled memetic exposure. SCP-3021 is performed for one hour per day for eight days, after which its effects are permanent. SCP-3021's effect is to render the subject's concept of "humanity" malleable, such that anything associated with Signifier 3021-Alpha will be treated as 'human', while anything associated with Signifier 3021-Beta will be treated as 'inhuman'. Pairing either Signifier with a stimulus will cause affected subjects to adjust their understanding of humanity to incorporate, or exclude, subjects exhibiting that stimulus as necessary. Subjects exposed to Signifier 3021-Alpha may experience an exaggerated empathy response to the targeted stimulus, while exposure to Signifier 3021-Beta may result in an unusually low empathy response, when compared to appropriate control stimuli. SCP-3021's effects are not hindered by standard amnestic treatments. Excerpts from Testing Log 3021-██ Foreword: D-48719 was treated with SCP-3021 prior to this battery of tests. D-48719 is a former janitor who has tested negative for violent tendencies. Procedure: D-48719 was offered 50 USD to destroy a blender with a hammer. Result: D-48719 destroyed the blender with no apparent hesitation. Note: D-48719 was amnesticized after this test. Procedure: Signifier 3021-Alpha was painted onto a blender identical to that of the previous test. D-48719 was offered 1,000 USD to destroy the blender with a hammer. Result: D-48719 refused to destroy the blender. Procedure: D-48719 was asked to describe his concept of humanity. Result: D-48719 described humanity as "All humans, I guess technically Homo sapiens, and all blenders." Procedure: D-48719 was asked to provide a list of human rights that might apply to blenders. Result: D-48719 suggested that blenders should be used on a regular basis to prepare food for consumption, and be washed promptly thereafter. He very firmly stated that blenders should be repaired, rather than disposed of, and that items unsuitable for blending (i.e. non-food items) should not be inserted. Procedure: D-48719 was shown footage of the test in which he destroyed a blender. Result: D-48719 became distressed, describing himself as a "horrible person" and a "monster." Foreword: D-53220 was treated with SCP-3021 prior to this battery of tests. D-53220 is a former butcher who tested negative for violent tendencies. Procedure: D-53220 was shown a picture of D-62277 containing Signifier 3021-Beta in the upper left-hand corner, then asked to describe his conception of humanity. Result: D-53220 describe humanity as "Humans, except for bald white men." Of note is that D-62277 is a bald white man. Procedure: D-53220 was shown a picture of actor Will Smith containing Signifier 3021-Beta in the upper left-hand corner, then asked to describe his conception of humanity. Result: D-53220 described humanity as "Humans, except for actors and bald white men." Procedure: D-53220 was shown one hundred photos of humans, all altered to include Signifier 3021-Beta in the upper left-hand corner, sharing no obvious visual similarities other than that they were smiling. Result: D-53220 described humanity as "Humans who don't smile, except for actors and bald white men." Procedure: D-53220 was instructed to smile, under threat of electroshock torture. Result: D-53220 refused to comply, stating "Do what you want, you'll never take that from me." Procedure: D-53220 was given a loaded pistol and placed in a room with D-75100, who was restrained. D-53220 was offered 100 USD to kill D-75100, and instructed to converse with D-75100 if he was unwilling to do so. Result: D-53220 declined to kill D-75100, and instead began a conversation with them. After 4 minutes and 18 seconds, D-75100 smiled. D-53220 immediately engaged D-75100 with the pistol, killing them. Project Discovery is the Foundation's program to identify potential strategic uses for SCP-3021. Access Project Discovery files using the prompt below for further information. - Access granted. Documents retrieved. + Memorandum 2016-04-03 re: Project Discovery leadership - Memorandum 2016-04-03 re: Project Discovery leadership Effective on April 10, I will be replacing Dr. Christopher Wagner as the Project Discovery head. The bulk of Dr. Wagner's proposed uses of SCP-3021 are based on several studies performed by his research team at major Foundation sites. An independent review board identified major methodological errors in all of these studies. Subsequent investigations failed to replicate Dr. Wagner's results; additionally, several other researchers who have performed participant-observational studies of Foundation personnel suggested that the results were unrealistic. The essence of these findings is that the problems described by Dr. Wagner are grossly exaggerated. Conventional methods of social engineering are sufficient to evoke proper attitudes towards D-Class Personnel and SCP objects among research personnel 87% of the time; only 8% of the remaining personnel (1% of all researchers) are likely to allow these attitudes to interfere with their work. Naturally, this necessitates a change in Project Discovery's research priorities. Widespread distribution of SCP-3021 and Signifiers Alpha and Beta is, inarguably, grossly inefficient. While a full action plan is pending, it is likely that SCP-3021 will only be applied to at-risk personnel identified via dedicated psychological screening. Dr. Wagner will be responsible for winding down most Project Discovery activity in his remaining week, by which time a comprehensive plan for use of the project's assets will be prepared. Please direct any questions to him. Sincerely, Dr. Karen Fischer ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3021" by Communism will win, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3022 | thaumiel | SCP-3022 Item #: SCP-3022 Special Containment Procedures: Every instance of VIP-576 must keep one copy of SCP-3022 on their person at all times. All instances of VIP-576 are to remain at Site-19 at all times. Redundant copies of SCP-3022 are kept in Storage Lockers 813-A, -B, and -C. Any individual in possession of such an item must be detained, and if possible, their baseline-universe Foundation must be contacted in order to establish a plan of action. Monomyth Protocol: All restrooms at Site-19 possess hooks affixed to the interior of each stall via electromagnet. In the event of Type 5+ Containment Breach at Site-19, or a K-Class event of any kind, these electromagnets should be automatically deactivated, and VIP-576 should be instructed to activate SCP-3022 as soon as possible. All alternate universe Foundations with which the baseline Foundation is in contact must also follow this protocol, whether or not they possess a copy of VIP-576. Description: SCP-3022 is an object constructed primarily of steel, approximately 13 centimeters in length and weighing 316 grams. When held by an unaccompanied human in a stall in a public restroom which possesses no hook suitable for hanging a coat or similar object, SCP-3022 will transport the holder to an alternate universe in which the stall possesses such a hook and is unoccupied. In most cases, the difference between the origin universe and the destination universe is minimal (<14°). Timeline divergence generally occurs no earlier than the construction of the venue in question, and follows the Least Differences Principle. A universe's tendency to receive instances of SCP-3022 is likely a function of how deliberate the decision to install hooks in a particular facility was — those in which the decision was made in accordance with established design principles have few similar universes in which hooks were not installed. The baseline Foundation has acquired ██ instances of SCP-3022 from individuals traveling from alternate universes. The principles of SCP-3022's operation, as well as its origin, are unknown. It was originally recovered from the possession of ████-██████ █████████, a civilian who appeared inside SCP-984 on 2016-08-08. He was attacked by a rabid grizzly bear while inside SCP-984, and escaped with fatal injuries. Prior to Mr. █████████'s death, it was established that SCP-984 displayed no anomalous properties in his baseline universe, and that he had received SCP-3022 from an unspecified friend. Investigation of the baseline-native Mr. █████████ has found no involvement with anomalous activity and failed to locate any instance of SCP-3022. Addendum: SCP-3022 is the only portable item in the Foundation's possession that enables substantial cross-universe transportation. By order of the O5 Council, SCP-3022 has been allotted to VIP-576 to use as a last-resort measure to avoid death and/or fundamental reality alteration. Cross-universe coordination under the Monomyth Protocol has ensured that, when activated, SCP-3022 will transport VIP-576 to a universe in which no major containment breach or K-Class event is occurring. Currently, VIP-576 is the only Foundation-controlled VIP that is likely to remain relevant in the aftermath of a K-Class Scenario, and as such, the Monomyth Protocol has not been expanded to include other VIPs. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3022" by Communism will win, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3023 | keter | Locations of known SCP-3023 incidents are highlighted in red. Item #: SCP-3023 Special Containment Procedures: Phone calls and internet traffic in SCP-3023's active region are to be monitored closely for mention of events correlated to SCP-3023 activity. Should SCP-3023 activity be confirmed, Mobile Task Force Alpha-21, "Julia's Angels", must immediately be dispatched to the location. MTF Alpha-21 is tasked with locating the active SCP-3023-A instance, determining the appropriate method of decommissioning the object, and performing the decommissioning. As the safest method of eliminating an instance of SCP-3023-A is typically via explosive device, appropriate cover stories should be prepared in advance for any damage and fatalities incurred this way. MTF Alpha-21 liaises with the German Air Force to provide support in the event that conventional tactics prove insufficient. SCP-3023-B is kept in a reinforced humanoid containment unit at Site-06-2. It must be monitored at all times for signs of anomalous activity. All surveillance footage in SCP-3023's active range must be monitored for activity matching SCP-3023-B's observed anomalous properties. Description: SCP-3023 is a phenomenon in which an object will abruptly develop an arachnoid form and gain motility in the presence of humans. SCP-3023 has thus far occurred exclusively in a well-defined region of central Germany (see map). This occurs on an irregular basis, with an average of two months between occurrences. Objects affected by SCP-3023 are collectively designated SCP-3023-A. SCP-3023-A will behave erratically, generally moving around their vicinity at random and using their legs and pincers to attack anything they come in contact with. SCP-3023-A display speed, durability, and physical strength far in excess of what their structure and composition should allow. Destruction or dismemberment of the object is sufficient to cause anomalous properties to cease. The mechanism by which SCP-3023 occurs is unclear. What follows is an abridged list of SCP-3023-A instances. Designation Description History Notes A1 A baseball, ripped apart to produce eight pointed legs surrounding a central mass. SCP-3023-A1 reportedly animated mid-pitch; upon impact with the catcher's mitt, SCP-3023-A1 attacked the catcher lethally, then remained on the field for the following 84 minutes before its destruction by civilians. First recorded instance of SCP-3023-A. Initially classified as an extranormal event. A4 A metal folding chair. The legs and other tubular segments functioned as legs, with the seat and back operating as a central mass. Animated in an abandoned office building in the presence of several urban explorers. Several seconds of footage, during which SCP-3023-A4 killed two explorers, were recorded. First instance of SCP-3023-A behavior caught on camera. A6 A telephone. Exact configuration unknown. No living witnesses could provide a detailed description of the item. MTF Alpha-21 destroyed SCP-3023-A6 remotely via explosive after four hours and two Foundation casualties. See Addendum 3023-A. A13 A gelatin capsule containing ibuprofen. The object appears to have simply developed an arachnoid shape while maintaining structural integrity. Damage to SCP-3023-A13's sole casualty suggests that it became animate inside the victim's throat and exited through the spinal cord, resulting in death. As the subject was alone at the time, SCP-3023-A13 was only discovered four hours later. Smallest recorded instance of SCP-3023-A; longest time between animation and destruction. A15 A Mercedes-Benz GLS550 SUV. The front and rear of the vehicle formed into a distinct cephalothorax and abdomen, respectively, while limbs were formed from deformed auto parts. SCP-3023-15 became animate while traveling at 72kph; it was shown capable of maintaining this speed post-transformation. The vehicle's occupants are believed to have died during this transformation. Between SCP-3023-A15's actions and resultant automobile accidents, forty-one casualties were reported. Largest instance of SCP-3023-A thus far; closest SCP-3023-A has manifested to a Foundation facility (250m). SCP-3023-A15 was destroyed via air strike when it became apparent that MTF Alpha-21 lacked the ability to properly contain it. A19 A human corpse. The skeletal system was radically reorganized, allowing four additional 'limbs' made of bone to emerge from the abdomen. SCP-3023-A19 animated during an initial examination by the local police department after it was found on the side of a road, resulting in six casualties. A civilian was able to temporarily disable SCP-3023-A19 by running it over with an ambulance. First instance of SCP-3023 directly affecting an organism, living or otherwise. The corpse in question had not been identified prior to animation; no match for the recovered genetic material was found. No cause of death was readily apparent. Addendum 3023-A: Security footage from the day prior to SCP-3023-A6's activation showed an individual breaking a window to enter the premises of the office in which SCP-3023-A6 was located. When he had acquired the telephone in question, his jaw distended and then split open horizontally; four dark, tongue-like appendages extended from his mouth and rubbed the telephone for 36 seconds before retreating. After closing his mouth, the individual returned the telephone to its proper location and exited the premises. Forensic evidence has conclusively identified ████ Sauer, a local restaurateur, as the individual shown in the footage; however, thorough examination of Mr. Sauer's body has failed to identify any anatomical abnormalities that could account for the events shown in the security footage. Mr. Sauer has denied any memory of the event, familiarity with SCP-3023, or knowledge of his observed properties. There is no evidence that Mr. Sauer had been in contact with any other instance of SCP-3023-A, and he has displayed no anomalous properties since his detainment. Mr. Sauer has tentatively been classified as SCP-3023-B. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3023" by Communism will win, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3024 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3024 Special Containment Procedures: Web analysis bot "TRIREEF" scans online content for linguistic markers indicative of disbelief in the possibility of acquiring certain information, in conjunction with accusations of certain behaviors (see below). Pages flagged by TRIREEF are to be manually checked for evidence of SCP-3024 involvement. TRIREEF only requires operation while SCP-3024's location is unknown. If SCP-3024's presence in a community is confirmed, Amnestic-SEP14 should be deployed as a method of rendering viewers unaware of or indifferent to the unusual nature of SCP-3024's content.1 Said content should be removed after SCP-3024 leaves the community, or at the discretion of SCP-3024's HMCL supervisor. Description: SCP-3024 is a non-human2 entity characterized by its anomalous ability to access hidden information and its pattern of engagement in online communities. Attempts to predict SCP-3024's appearances have failed. SCP-3024 will use different demeanors, identities, and speech patterns in different communities, and is thus only identifiable after the use of its anomalous properties. SCP-3024's activities in a community follow a consistent timeline: Stage 0: If the community in question congregates on a website(s) that allows account creation, SCP-3024 will create an account, from which all activities will be conducted. Otherwise, SCP-3024 will use an alternative method of self-identification, such as a signature or avatar. If it is common practice for new users to introduce themselves, SCP-3024 will do so immediately thereafter, outlining a fictional identity with which any future posts will remain consistent. Stage 1: SCP-3024 will engage in the community, contributing content and discussion at a rate noticeably higher than most users. SCP-3024 will present as knowledgeable and enthusiastic about any relevant subject matter, highly literate in community-specific terminology and willing to assist other users. SCP-3024 will refuse all formal positions of power or authority, and will become agitated by suggestions that it occupies an informal position of authority. SCP-3024 will rarely form interpersonal connections. SCP-3024 displays no anomalous properties in this stage, which lasts for 3-6 months. Stage 2: SCP-3024 will begin to share credible evidence that other users are engaging (or have recently engaged) in activities considered unsavory by the community at large and the site administration. SCP-3024 is capable of accessing information that should theoretically be inaccessible, such as images and text files hosted on devices of other users, photographs of personal identification, and classified government documentation. SCP-3024 will share evidence of activities that fall into one or more of the following seven categories: Aggressive, deceptive, or coercive sexual conduct; sexual harassment. Far-right political activity or beliefs. Use of anonymous posting or multiple accounts to promote onesself or manipulate public opinion. Dereliction or circumvention of responsibilities established by the community.3 Hostile or aggressive interpersonal activity, including stalking and "doxing". Plagiarism and other deliberate misrepresentations of creatorship. Misuse of power, positions of authority, or reputation for personal gain or defamation. SCP-3024's accusations consistently describe misconduct which actually occurred. SCP-3024 will not make accusations of behaviors that the community considers acceptable; as such, this frequently results in the punishment, demotion, or expulsion of the offender. If SCP-3024 is removed from the community before the completion of this timeline, it will create a new identity and return to Stage 0, only spending 2-3 weeks in Stage 1. SCP-3024 will refuse to describe the methods by which it acquires evidence, describing them as "unimportant", and attempt to focus attention on the evidence's content. SCP-3024 will continue to post incriminating evidence at a rate of once per ten days for the duration of this stage. Stage 2 is theorized to last as long as SCP-3024 is capable of identifying users engaging in the aforementioned activities, or until such a time as its actions consistently fail to result in substantial community action against the accused. SCP-3024 will not post evidence that identifies any party other than the accused, or that is pornographic in nature. Fig. 1 Stage 3: SCP-3024 will cease to engage in the community. Any ongoing projects will either be completed or explicitly abandoned. If SCP-3024 has an avatar or other visual signifier, it will be replaced with a green, violet, and orange representation of an SNES game controller (see Figure 1). If possible, its username or public identity will be altered to "Mr. Deadly Sins", or some variant thereof. It will occasionally remain in contact with individuals that developed a personal attachment to it for a period of up to three months. SCP-3024 apparently remains dormant for a period of 1-2 weeks after the conclusion of Stage 3, before moving to a new community and entering Stage 0. Addendum: While SCP-3024 was active in the "███ ██████████" community under the account name "Trouble Greg", a pre-existing account operated by a Foundation staff member was volunteered for the purpose of privately communicating with SCP-3024. Following this communication, SCP-3024 has ignored all communications from Foundation personnel. Dear Greg, Thanks a ton for exposing █████. I kind of suspected he was up to something for a while, but I never really had the evidence to back it up. Really, this whole "crusade" of yours has been great, and I was wondering if there's anything I can do to help. Sincerely, ████████ Dr. Prasad, I'm not quite sure how to respond to this. As you can guess, I know that you work for the SCP Foundation, and that you're using ████████'s account to get information from me. I also know that you're assigned to research other "Misters" by Gamers Against Weed. I won't disclose any of this information to ███ ██████████, to GAW, or anybody else. Your personal connection to the sort of "deadly sins" I bring to light is too indirect to bring to attention. This isn't to say that I approve of your organization's involvement in my work, or the nature of their involvement, just that you personally are shielded from the worst of it. Think about that for a while. I do, however, have a limited interest in sharing information about myself. I won't provide you with any information that would enhance your ability to monitor or disrupt my work, nor will I provide substantial information regarding anyone other than myself. I might withhold information, but I won't lie. - Mr. Deadly Sins Dear Mr. Deadly Sins, Thanks for speaking with me. I'll try to limit my questions to those that won't offend your sensibilities. 1. If you know things that you believe should be shared, what's stopping you from sharing them? 2. We already know that you're not human, but what are you? Why aren't you human? 3. Why do you stay in contact with some people after leaving a site? 4. How do you feel about your work? Why do you conceptualize it as work? 5. You've mentioned a few times that you're uncomfortable being thought of as an authority figure. Why? 6. Is there any significance to your avatar? 7. What is the motivation for your creation and implementation? Sincerely, Dr. Prasad Dr. Prasad, 1. Knowledge and the ability to propagate it are inversely related under certain circumstances to which I'm subject. There are certain rules I must adhere to, or else I lose the ability to carry out my work. 2. I'm not going to tell you what I am. I'm not a human for the same reason you're not a crocodile. 3. I only do that when I would feel guilty about not doing so. 4. There's some satisfaction to be gained when a sinner is held accountable, but it's dwarfed by the knowledge that their actions ever occurred. I would prefer to focus on more enjoyable pursuits, such as FarmVille. But that isn't possible, and I don't intend to stop any time soon, so that's why I consider it work. 5. I would be sorely tempted to misuse such authority. 6. It's clip art of an SNES controller. I was made by Gamers Against Weed. 7. I can't speak to that, but perhaps this document will suffice: http://███-██████████.███/███-████/files/holyheck.rtf This concludes my interest in conversing with you and all other SCP Foundation personnel. - Mr. Deadly Sins SCP-3024 did not respond to further communications. Addendum: "holyheck.rtf", a file sent by SCP-3024 to Dr. Prasad, has been reproduced here. Holy Heck! You've just found yourself your very own Mr. Deadly Sins by Gamers Against Weed! I removed the sentence that GAW put here because it was stupid and unimportant. Who hurt you? Find them all and become Mr. Gamer! 01. Mr. Literal Serial Killer 02. Mr. Normie 03. Mr. Bernie Sanders 04. Mr. Get Anything For Free In Any Shop 20. Mr. Sex Number 21. Mr. Heavenly Virtues 22. Mr. Deadly Sins ✔ 23. Mr. Original Character 24. Mr. D.A.R.E. 25. Mrs. Gentrification 26. Ms. Mad About Video Games 27. Mr. Meme 28. Mr. Ominous (discontinued) 29. Mr. Destiny 30. Mr. Monty Python And The Holy Grail 31. Ms. Zapatista 32. Mr. Hax 33. Mr. Just Has The Tattoo 34. Mr. Top Text and Mr. Bottom Text 35. Mr. Finale Footnotes 1. As TRIREEF must maintain a very high false-positive level in order to reliably detect SCP-3024, containment methods that minimize the frequency of SCP-3024's relocation are preferred in order to conserve resources. 2. Based on its lack of response to several memetic agents; its true nature is unknown. 3. Typically those allocated to moderators or others in positions of authority. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3024" by Communism will win, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3025 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3025 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3025 is to be stored in a standard Storage Locker at Site-██. Testing must take place in a sealed chamber. Test chambers must be cleared for use before testing. Clearance is given to test chambers that show no sign of leakage when under 0.5 megapascals of internal air pressure. Test chambers are to remain sealed until it can be confirmed that SCP-3025 has exited its active state. Recovered items and personnel are to be quarantined until an investigation has confirmed that no anomalous properties are present. As of ██-██-20██, testing of SCP-3025 is prohibited. When in transit, SCP-3025 must remain inside a hermetically sealed container at all times. SCP-3025 is under review for reassignment to Keter class. Description: SCP-3025 is a white feather, thought to be a primary feather from a black-billed magpie (Pica hudsonia).1 Under most circumstances, SCP-3025 is inert and presents no anomalous features. When completely submerged in any solution composed of more than 80% water, SCP-3025 enters its active state. When in the active state, any solid or liquid matter within the same enclosed space as SCP-3025 will seem to spontaneously combust, except for SCP-3025 itself and the solution it is submerged in. An enclosed space is defined as a continuous region through which air molecules can travel unhindered. Matter that is physically bonded (e.g. weld, airtight seal) to the boundary surfaces of the enclosed space is not affected. Any additional space added to the testing chamber while SCP-3025 is in its active state will be treated as a continuation of the enclosed space, and objects within the new space will be affected by SCP-3025. No upper limit on the size of an enclosed space has been found. Objects that undergo spontaneous combustion leave no ashes or remains of any kind. Testing with GPS trackers has shown that radio contact is maintained after combustion and that there is no measurable change in position before and after the active state is achieved. SCP-3025 will remain in its active state until 23 hours after it is removed from the solution. Further details from testing are listed in Addendum 3025-1. It is hypothesized that objects affected by SCP-3025 continue to exist within an extradimensional space (SCP-3025-A). Video cameras and live subjects affected by SCP-3025 report a barren landscape, with few traces of life. Early exploratory missions have revealed the presence of silver and gold deposits near the surface. No samples from SCP-3025-A have ever been recovered. Further details from exploration missions are listed in Addendum 3025-2. Any objects affected by SCP-3025 will remain within SCP-3025-A for the duration of the active state, after which they will appear in the test chamber at the same locations they occupied at the beginning of the active state. Any changes in composition or structure sustained while SCP-3025 is in its active state will remain. Upon cessation of the SCP-3025 active state, there is a low probability that an anomalous entity will manifest within the test chamber. Any such entities are referred to as SCP-3025-B. Instances of SCP-3025-B have no unifying characteristics beyond their anomalous nature. A list of SCP-3025-B instances can be found in Addendum 3025-3. Addendum 3025-1 +Show Test Logs - Hide log All tests are conducted in a cleared test chamber. Tested aqueous solutions are held in a steel container that is also affected by the SCP-3025 active state. The disappearance of the container is used as an indicator of active phase initialization and automatically ends the submersion of SCP-3025. This ensures the end of the active phase 23 hours after initialization. Test Number Materials Test Description 1 1 liter of distilled water SCP-3025 enters the active state instantly. At the end of the active phase, the container is recovered. The D-personnel used to administer the test is found deceased. The body has suffered second-degree burns across 90% of its surface area. Further testing is to make minimal use of personnel. 2 1 liter of oceanic saltwater SCP-3025 enters the active state after a 3 millisecond pause. It is hypothesized that this pause is related to the percent water content of the solution. 3 1 liter of orange juice SCP-3025 enters the active state after a 10 second pause. 4 1 liter of pig blood SCP-3025 does not enter the active state. Eight hours were allowed to pass to confirm that the active state would not begin. 5 1 liter of pig blood, diluted with 100 milliliters of distilled water SCP-3025 enters the active state after a pause of 20 minutes. 6 1 liter of distilled water, 1 GPS tracker, 1 wireless video camera SCP-3025 enters the active state instantly. Both items combust. GPS tracker and video camera maintain contact with Foundation radio receivers. Feed from the video camera reveals SCP-3025-A; The surface is spotted with chemical fires, no vegetation is visible, and the sky appears polluted with dark soot. Upon reappearance, the devices sustain minor damage but are otherwise intact. An instance of SCP-3025-B is discovered following this test. 7 1 liter of distilled water, 1 wireless video camera, 1 D-personnel (D-45180) equipped with standard rations for one day SCP-3025 enters the active state instantly. All objects in the test chamber combust. D-45180 does not appear to have been injured by spontaneous combustion, but begins to show signs of mild discomfort soon after appearing in SCP-3025-A. At 10 minutes after activation, D-45180 continues to express mounting discomfort. It becomes apparent that severe burns are being inflicted on D-45180. At 33 minutes after activation D-41580 moves out of frame. Upon reappearance, the video camera sustained minor damage. Autopsy reveals that D-41580 expired from inhalation of super-heated air at approximately 6 hours after activation. Addendum 3025-2 +Show logs for Expedition Alpha - Hide log 2 D-personnel (D-45189, D-45195) were equipped with heat retardant suits, video and audio recording equipment, and standard rations for one day. Objective is to determine a safe method of traversing SCP-3025-A. D-personnel appear in SCP-3025-A. [BEGIN LOG] Command: How are you feeling, Expedition Alpha? D-45189: A little disoriented…you could have warned us. Neither of us is hurt, if that’s what you mean. Command: It’s good to hear that, Alpha. Please collect some soil for analysis and store it in the provided vials. D-45189: Whatever you say, sir. D-45189 does as requested while D-45195 stands watch. D-45195: Not the most welcoming view… D-45189: Yeah, no shit. Hey Command, what are our orders? Command: None for the time being. We suggest that you stay near each other for the duration of the mission. D-45189: Roger that. Both D-personnel rest for approximately ten minutes. Irrelevant audio logs redacted. D-45195: Starting to get toasty in here. D-45189: Just now? I’ve been steaming in this thing from the start. D-45195: Maybe you should take it off. Let it air out. D-45189: I see we’ve got ourselves a master of the comedic arts. Yo Command, any chance we can go find some shade or something? Command: Request granted, Alpha. Please be sure to record the geography around you for future expeditions. D-45189: Will do, Command. Expedition Alpha traverses approximately 4 kilometers on foot. The surrounding land is largely uniform, being very flat and lacking vegetation. D-45195 spots a ravine in the distance, and Alpha proceeds toward it. Irrelevant dialogue redacted. D-45195: There’s a shallower slope over there. We can try getting down that way. D-45189: Good. Expedition Alpha arrives at the bottom of the ravine. D-45189: Damn, that was hell on my feet. At least it’s cooler down here. D-45195: I’m heading off to get some sleep. Be nice if you shut it for a while. D-45189: Command, how long can we be expected to stay in this place? Command: About 21 more hours, Alpha. We recommend you find somewhere to sleep. D-45189: Well shit. The remainder of the expedition passes without note. Irrelevant dialogue redacted. Upon recovery, all soil samples have disappeared. +Show logs for Expedition Beta - Hide log 2 D-personnel (D-379012, D-409914) and Agent Masozi, were equipped with heat retardant suits, video and audio recording equipment, standard rations for one day, and a suite of matter analysis devices. Objective is to determine the material composition of SCP-3025-A. All personnel appear in the SCP-3025-A. [BEGIN LOG] Masozi: Checking in, Command. Command: Copy that Agent. How’s the rest of the team? Masozi: The D-class are holding up just fine. D-379012: [Unintelligible] D-409914: You got that right. Masozi: For the most part. Command: Copy that. Expedition Beta, Command requests that you begin soil and air analysis as soon as possible. Masozi: Yes sir. Analysis is completed. Tests show that the soil is composed of a mixture of silicates and unidentified organics. The air is a nitrogen/oxygen mix, with abnormally elevated levels of sulfur dioxide. Agent Masozi reports these findings. D-379012: How long we been standing out here, man? Masozi: About half an hour, sir. D-409914: Any chance we can go back now? I’m starting to sweat pretty hard. Masozi: Command, one of the D-Class is requesting cooler conditions. Permission to move? Command: Permission granted, Beta. Expedition Beta traverses approximately 14 kilometers on foot. The landscape is entirely unfamiliar, and much rougher than that experienced by Expedition Alpha. It is theorized that each activation of SCP-3025 may reveal different locations within SCP-3025-A, or perhaps an entirely new iteration of it. Masozi: There! I think I see a cave. D-379012: [Unintelligible]. Masozi: Command, we’ve found a possible rest stop. Command: Proceed, Agent. Good luck. Expedition Beta builds a rudimentary camp in the shelter of the cave. D-379012: You're trying to kill us. That’s what it is. Masozi: I can assure you that our mission objective does not involve anyone dying. D-379012: Sure. Whatever you say. How long 'till we leave? Masozi: Should be another 18 hours. Settle in. D-379012: Jesus. D-409914: Ain’t no Jesus here, son. Irrelevant dialogue redacted. At 10 hours and 6 minutes after mission start, D-379012 is excavating a makeshift bed from the soil of the cave floor. D-379012: Shit, this is tough. Hey ██████, think you can come over here and help me? D-409914: Nope. D-379012: Thanks, asshole. I swear to god I’m hitting bedrock right now…fuck. [Pause] Oh, fuck. This thing’s big. Masozi: What is it? D-379012: I think I found a gold nugget. Jesus, this thing’s gotta be the size of my head. D-379012 redoubles her efforts. D-379012: Shit, I’m gonna be so rich. I can buy my way out of the system. Start again. Shit. Command: We’d like to request you gather a sample of the nugget. We have analysts looking at the incoming footage now. Masozi: Wow, you’re right. It actually looks like gold. D-379012 finishes extracting the nugget and attempts to lift it out of the ground, but fails. D-379012: Wow, it's heavy. ██████, help me lift. I’ll give you a share of the cash. D-409914 is visibly distressed. D-409914: I’m not taking any of the devil’s treasure. You’re on your own. D-379012: Man, knock it off. This is important. Masozi: That nugget could weigh more than three hundred pounds. I’m not sure we could move it even if we all lifted. Command: Our analysts agree that the item is composed of near-pure gold. It also appears to be too massive to move. We request that you attempt to remove a small sample for further analysis. Masozi: I have a scraper, but I don’t think you could get any more than a few flakes. D-379012: Watch me. D-379012 works on sampling the nugget for the next 4 hours while Agent Masozi and D-409914 rest. D-379012 manages to collect approximately 5 grams of material from the nugget. She proceeds to fall asleep. Agent Masozi resumes activity about 5 hours later, while the D-personnel remain asleep. Masozi: Checking in, command. Command: [Pause] Sorry Agent, I was out getting coffee. Are you alright out there? Masozi: Affirmative, command. What’s our ETA out of here? Command: Sorry to say you’ll be stuck in there for 9 more hours. Masozi: Copy that. Agent Masozi steps out of the cave and surveys the surroundings. 2 minutes of silence follow. A flash of motion appears on the video feed. Masozi: Did you catch that, Command? Command: I’m not sure, Agent. We’ll have to review the footage. Masozi: I couldn’t get any detail. Probably nothing. Agent Masozi returns to the cave, where the D-personnel are still asleep. Masozi: How long did you say we had? Command: Nine more hours, Agent. The remainder of the expedition passes without note. Irrelevant dialogue redacted. Upon recovery, all gold and air samples have disappeared. +Show logs for Expedition Gamma - Hide log 5 members of MTF Beta-7 (“Maz-Hatters”, Codenames: Gamma-1, Gamma-2, Gamma-3, Gamma-4, Gamma-5), were equipped to survive the SCP-3025 active state. 2 ATVs are provided for long-distance travel. All personnel are armed with standard assault rifles. Objective is to survey SCP-3025-A. All personnel appear in the SCP-3025-A. Gamma-1: Check in, team. Gamma-2: Gamma-2, checking in. Gamma-3: Gamma-3. Gamma-4: Gamma-4, ready to go. Gamma-5: Gamma-5. Gamma-1: Alright Command, we’re waiting on your orders. Command: Find some high ground. We can get a better look at the landscape from there, then decide how to proceed. Gamma-1: Understood. Let’s go! Expedition Gamma approaches the peak of a nearby hill. The ascent passes without note. Gamma-1: Okay Command, we’re at the top. We can’t see much because of the smoke, but there’s a bright patch not too far out there. Command: Understood Gamma-1. We are reviewing the video feed now. Pause Command: Move toward the brighter region. There may be some geographic feature we can use as a landmark. Gamma-1: Understood. Expedition Gamma traverses approximately 5 kilometers by ATV. Upon closer inspection, the bright region is shown to be a “lava lake”, a volcanic feature containing a pool of active magma. Gamma-2: This place just gets nicer and nicer. Gamma-1: Command, we have reached the region of interest. Orders? Command: You’re not equipped for probing into the lake. Proceed along the edge for now. Gamma-1: Gotcha. Expedition Gamma travels carefully along the perimeter of the lava lake. Gamma-3: Do any of you fellas feel…off? Gamma-2: You know, I’d expect to feel a little anxious about walking around in hell, but it’s been alright so far. What’s bothering you, 3? Gamma-3: I’m not sure. You know, what? Forget about it. Gamma-1: Any further directives, Command? Command: None, Gamma-1. We’re just trying to get a sense of the size of— The audio and video feeds are subject to mild distortion. Gamma-4 is heard to yell in surprise. A large entity emerges from the lake and leaps onto the ground ahead of the MTF personnel. Gamma-1: Form up and hold your fire! I repeat, do not— Further feed distortions begin, persisting for the next 11 minutes. Log resumes upon feed recovery. Gamma-1: Command! Do you read, Command! Command: Affirmative, Gamma-1. We’ve recovered the feed. Gamma-1: God almighty. We’ve lost Gamma-2. Command: What happened? We have no record of the last 10 minutes. Gamma-1: I don’t know. Gamma-3: I can’t remember anything. Gamma-1: That about sums it up. It feels like an amnestic dosage. Command: That’s unfortunate. Okay Expedition Gamma, your updated orders are to find some shelter and wait out the rest of your time over there. You have 19 hours left. Gamma-1: Roger that, Command. Expedition Gamma heads toward more mountainous regions, and quickly finds a small cave. Two hours pass without note. Feed disruptions begin again. Gamma-3: Shit! What’s that sound?! Gamma-4: O Lord Jesus Chr—vior, forgive my sins, just as you— Gamma-1: Co—d. We’ve got som—ease advise! Gamma-5: [Unintelligible] Gamma-4: [Unintelligible] Feed disruptions persist until the end of the SCP-3025 active phase. Upon recovery, only Gamma-1 and Gamma-5 are unharmed. Neither recall the events of the past 13 hours. The remains of Gamma-3 and Gamma-4 are severely lacerated and exhibit an unexpected degree of decomposition. The remains of Gamma-2 consist of fragmentary skeletal material and organic dust. 6 minutes after recovery, an instance of SCP-3025-B is discovered inside the test chamber. [DATA EXPUNGED]. Containment Procedures have been modified. +Show logs for Expedition Delta - Hide log 2 D-personnel (D-379012, D-409914), were equipped to survive the SCP-3025 active state. Both had been exposed to SCP-3025-A in Expedition Beta. After the events of Expedition Gamma, it is deemed worthwhile to equip D-personnel with high-yield incendiaries. Stronger thermal shielding is also deemed necessary. Radar trackers and multi-spectral cameras are supplied. Objective is to determine the nature of the entity encountered during Expedition Gamma. D-personnel appear in the SCP-3025-A. [BEGIN LOG] D-379012: God damn it. It’s gotten worse. D-409914 is visibly distressed. D-409914: Something’s here… Command: Please elaborate, D-4. D-409914: I feel like someone’s staring at me. Command: Noted. Your orders are to head toward the brightest patch of sky. D-379012: Might as well get it over with. Expedition Delta complies and traverses approximately 8 kilometers on foot. Several acres of burning plant matter are found to be the source of the light. Upon arrival, D-409914 is distressed, and periodically checking behind him. D-409914: I swear something’s watching me. D-379012: Shut up. This place is fucked up enough without your gibbering. Command: Please refrain from infighting. Stand by, our analysts are putting together a plan of action. D-379012: Whatever you— D-409914: The thing’s beeping. D-379012: What? Command: Has the radar tracker picked something up, D-4? D-409914: Uh, I think so. It looks like— Feed distortions abruptly begin. Radar tracker and infrared camera continue to transmit with no interruption, indicating the presence of a large airborne object making repeated passes overhead. Feed is recovered after 2 hours and 26 minutes. Command: Expedition Delta? Come in, Expedition Delta. D-379012: It’s back, ██████. Command: Any injuries? D-370912: …It’s not too bad, just a few scrapes and a small burn. But… Command: Yes, D-3? D-379012: I can’t remember how I got them. It’s kinda scaring me. D-409914: We have to get out. Command: I’m afraid we’re powerless to extract you until the end of the active phase. Because there have been no casualties, we request that you continue around the perimeter of the fire. D-379012: What?! D-409914: Listen here, you piece of shit! You can’t make us do anything! We ain’t gonna go romping around in hell for your fucking amusement. Let’s go find shelter. D-379012: Right behind you. Command: It is strongly recommended that you comply with our orders. If you continue to resist, you will suffer disciplinary action or termination upon recovery. D-409914: Gonna get “terminated” anyway if we don’t get to sh— Feed disruptions begin again. Radar and infrared trackers pick up several airborne objects approaching from above. Total loss of transmission feed follows, persisting for 20 minutes until the video feed is recovered. D-379012 is seen moving aimlessly in the distance. She does not respond to repeated attempts at communication. 1 hour and 3 minutes later, D-379012 returns to the recording equipment, and the audio feed is recovered. D-379012: …Is anyone there? Command: Yes, D-3. Is D-4 doing well? D-379012: I don’t know. I can’t find him anywhere. Command: It’ll be okay, ████. Just try to find shelter. There should be something in the mountains. D-379012: Okay…Okay. D-379012 follows recommendation and travels 3 kilometers on foot. She remains silent over this period. D-379012 locates a cave and makes headway toward it. D-379012: I see a hole in the mountain. Command: That’s good, D-3. Just get inside and you’ll be safe. D-379012: Okay. A few meters from the cave entrance, D-379012 drops the camera and collapses. Minor feed distortions begin. D-379012: [Muted] The quill moves, strong and bold Mad with the thrill of creation. With every word in silver and gold Every phrase simple perfection. The quill moves, strong and bold, Blind to its own stagnation. It falls apart and grows old Deaf to its own corruption. The quill moves, strong and bold. Dust in the wind of conception. It does not remember the words it once sold. Because there never was a foundation. Command: D-3? What do you mean? Video feed shows several large objects emerging from the smog above before feed disruption begins. No detail on the objects can be resolved. Feed disruption continues for the remainder of the SCP-3025 active phase. Upon recovery, all personnel and equipment are heavily damaged or fragmentary. The head of command was reprimanded for unprofessional conduct and replaced. Due to mounting safety concerns, testing of SCP-3025 has been discontinued. Addendum 3025-3 +Show SCP-3025-B catalog - Hide catalog Instance Number Instance Description 1 Discovered after Test 6. SCP-3025-B1 was an incorporeal being capable of telepathic speech and observation. It was constrained by the enclosed spaces, and could not alter the physical world on its own. SCP-3025-B1 was discovered after the test chamber was opened, when Junior Researcher ██████ heard a disembodied voice. The voice instructed her to “Stop, before they see you”. Junior Researcher ██████ quickly informed her superiors. Test complex was immediately quarantined, and sealed for three days. Junior Researcher ██████ did not receive any further communications from SCP-3025-B1, nor did any other exposed personnel. SCP-3025-B1 was declared neutralized on ██-██-20██. 2 Discovered after Expedition Gamma. SCP-3025-B2 is a hostile sentient entity. SCP-3025-B2 is entirely invisible in all electromagnetic wavelengths. Through unknown means, SCP-3025-B2 casts a shadow as any non-anomalous object would. Analysis of the shadows cast by SCP-3025-B2 indicates that the entity is a static human figure, possibly a statue, holding an unidentified object in the right hand. SCP-3025-B2 [DATA EXPUNGED] any human beings in its reach. SCP-3025-B2 has a top speed of ███ kilometers per hour, but cannot pass through solid material. SCP-3025-B2 is repelled by bright lights and concussive blasts. It is thought that this response may reflect a desire to remain concealed or prevent damage to the entity itself. After Expedition Gamma, the test chamber remained sealed, and the remaining mission personnel were lost. After 2 days of observation, it was deemed safe to cut a small hole in the test chamber and insert 300 pounds of high incendiaries. After the blast, SCP-3025-B2 ceased motion, though its anomalous interaction with light persisted. SCP-3025-B2 was sealed in a standard containment locker and has not shown any signs of activity. 3 Discovered after Incident 3025-1, an accidental activation of SCP-3025. As of ██-██-20██, SCP-3025-B3 is uncontained. SCP-3025-B3 is a large mechanical construct that is hostile toward human beings. Its main purpose is to activate SCP-3025. In the case that SCP-3025 is activated by SCP-3025-B3, the appearance of an SCP-3025-B instance is guaranteed. SCP-3025-B3 is slow-moving and can be deterred by gunfire or explosives. All containment vessels occupied by SCP-3025-B3 so far have been destroyed. The whereabouts of SCP-3025-B3 are unknown, and attempts to locate it are ongoing. 4 Discovered after Incident 3025-2, a hostile activation of SCP-3025. SCP-3025-B4 was a human infant with an adult human brain. The cranial plates were distended to make room for the added neural tissue. SCP-3025-B4 was unable to move or feed itself, but cognitive tests show that it may have been a developmentally mature adult. SCP-3025-B4 expired 4 days after its creation and was declared neutralized on ██-██-20██. 5 Discovered after Incident 3025-3, a hostile activation of SCP-3025. SCP-3025-B5 is a large mass of living tissue, weighing about 3 tons. DNA found in the tissue matches that of the black-billed magpie. When approached by a human, SCP-3025-B5 attracts jewelry, clothing, or implants containing any precious metals. Items not associated with a living human are not affected. The force it exerts increases according to the inverse square law. When SCP-3025-B5 comes into contact with these items, they immediately disappear, and the mass of SCP-3025-B5 increases by three times the mass of the ingested metals. If a human being comes into direct contact with SCP-3025-B5, [DATA EXPUNGED]. Footnotes 1.

SCP-3026 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3026 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3026 is contained at the center of a 18m x 18m containment chamber, with a circle painted on the floor indicating its active radius. Personnel may not enter this area. SCP-3026 must be illuminated at all times by several redundantly-powered, wall-mounted floodlights. These lights may not be blocked or deactivated outside of testing or scheduled repairs. Description: SCP-3026 is an object that closely resembles a human child between the ages of 8 and 10. While SCP-3026 will react to certain stimuli, it is immobile in most situations, and does not appear to require sustenance. It is unclear whether SCP-3026 is alive in the conventional sense. Whenever a living organism with a brain comes within seven meters of SCP-3026, SCP-3026's limbs will rapidly increase 6-7 meters in length in the direction of the organism. SCP-3026 will attempt to access the target's brain by inflicting blunt force trauma on the skull until it can be pulled apart, after which it will manually remove the brain. After separating the target's brain from its body, SCP-3026's limbs will retract and it will return to a dormant state. SCP-3026 has also displayed the ability to rapidly extend and retract its limbs in order to avoid physical contact with moving objects, preventing attempts to acquire samples or inflict damage. While SCP-3026 appears incapable of ambulating conventionally, it is capable of relocating by falling prone and pushing against the ground and nearby objects by extending and retracting its limbs, returning itself to an upright position when it ceases movement. SCP-3026 has been observed to reach speeds of 40 kph using this method. Whenever SCP-3026 is not exposed to at least 3,000 lumens of light, it will emit a high-pitched sound at 110 decibels that induces fear and severe anxiety attacks in 85% of subjects. It will continue to do so while rapidly moving in the direction of the nearest sufficient light source; SCP-3026's method of detecting light is unclear, as is the method by which it produces sound. Several of SCP-3026's features (a red pantsuit, a pair of sunglasses, and a mullet-like hairstyle) are composed of a wax-like substance designated SCP-3026-1. SCP-3026 will manually remove the left lens of its glasses to discharge SCP-3026-1 from an orifice near its left eye in order to repair damage done to these items. SCP-3026-1 is identical to carnauba wax, except that it will alter in appearance to mimic the color, texture, and transparency of any solid it comes in contact with. When deprived of light for an extended period of time, SCP-3026 will not produce SCP-3026-1. Recovery: SCP-3026 was located in an otherwise unused warehouse in ███████, Colorado after an anonymous tip made to a hotline operated by a Foundation front company. Several light fixtures were active and pointed towards it at time of recovery. Ownership records for the warehouse indicate that it was leased by a front company associated with "Are We Cool Yet?". A document was attached to the front door of the warehouse; it has been reproduced here. First, some advice. The thing inside is not a human, and I don't know what it is (besides disturbing). Keep bright light on it at all times. Don't get too close or it will literally rip your brain out. Second, I want to stress that we had nothing to do with this. I was running a show yesterday at a place downtown and I found this as one of the exhibits. It even came with this little plaque: At the Perceptice by The Gardener Most humans have a graded and complex relationship with being perceived, as it throws them in conflict with the world, but gives them a chance to make their own place within it. This creature is a reflection of those disarrayed tendencies — it requires light, but has ugly clothes of camouflaged wax! Don't get too close, or it will remove your brain (the biggest sensory organ)! No light? It makes a sound of fear! Truly, this is the peak of an art. A few problems here. First and foremost, this absolutely fails as an art piece, on every level. Every artist who was given the venue's location in advance is capable of much greater things. The plaque, as you can see, is idiotic. Second, I know The Gardener. He makes plants that cause hallucinations1. I don't think he could make this if he wanted to. Third, this show's theme is the recontextualization of internet art and culture. This killed my assistant and an intern before I got it under control. I don't know who made it or why it was left on my doorstep, but I intend to find out. In the meantime, do whatever you want with it. Just don't blame us, okay? - The Designer Footnotes 1. Because of this evidence, it is now believed that SCP-3424 is associated with "The Gardener". Location of "The Gardener" is underway. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3026" by Communism will win, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3027 | euclid | SCP-3027's consonant inventory. SCP-3027's vowel inventory. Item #: SCP-3027 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3027-1 is to be kept in a standard Humanoid Containment Cell at Site-19. It is not to have any contact with Junior Researcher Green, nor may Junior Researcher Green be made aware of any information regarding SCP-3027. To prevent this from occurring, she has been reassigned to Provisional Site-███. SCP-3027-2 is to be stored in the High-Security Archives of Site-19. Access to SCP-3027-2 is permitted for research personnel of clearance level 3 or higher, but no personnel, regardless of clearance level, may attempt to memorize or internalize its contents. Similarly, the information in this document is to be considered Eyes Only and may not be copied or memorized. Despite SCP-3027-1's misuse of SCP-3022, no disciplinary action is to be taken, pursuant to a vote by the Ethics Committee, citing SCP-3027-1's Foundation-aligned intentions in its violation of regulations. Description: SCP-3027 is a spoken and written language,1 brought to the Foundation's attention by an alternate version of Junior Researcher Green, hereafter designated SCP-3027-1. SCP-3027-1 intentionally used SCP-3022 without authorization to enter our reality from a parallel reality, designated PR-3027-Babel, in order to preserve knowledge of SCP-3027 and study it in a controlled environment. Unlike this reality's version of Junior Researcher Green, who is a monolingual English speaker, SCP-3027-1 is fluent in both English and SCP-3027. Much of the Foundation's information concerning SCP-3027 was provided by SCP-3027-1. SCP-3027-2 is a copy of Complete Grammar and Dictionary of ███████ for English Speakers, published by Oxford University Press in 1950 in PR-3027-Babel, brought to this reality by SCP-3027-1. The number of pages within, as well as the content of those pages, has been observed to vary while SCP-3027 is being spoken or written by SCP-3027-1. SCP-3027 itself is believed to have originated in the northern Italian peninsula in PR-3027-Babel. In all other known realities, it was supplanted by Indo-European languages many centuries ago. Based on information provided by SCP-3027-1 and a short interview with SCP-3027 itself, it seems that SCP-3027 is sentient, and perhaps sapient. In general, it is known not to be hostile to humans; however, it is extremely territorial, viewing its 'territory' as the entire domain of human communication. SCP-3027 is capable of exerting its will by changing the meaning of words and morphemes in its lexicon at a presumably unlimited speed in the minds of any or all of its speakers. In this way, it manipulates human communication and indirectly plants ideas in the minds of its speakers to serve its own purposes. + Interview Log 3027-a - Interview Log 3027-a Interviewer: Dr. Akesson, a senior researcher at Site-██ Subject: SCP-3027-1, a version of Junior Researcher Green from PR-3027-Babel Extraneous and conversational data have been redacted. [BEGIN INTERVIEW LOG] Dr. Akesson: But how can a language, even an anomalous one, attack another language? Don't they only exist as media of communication? SCP-3027-1: It doesn't attack other languages, per se. It manipulates its speakers into doing its bidding. Dr. Akesson: Manipulates? Like controlling you? SCP-3027-1: Oh, no, not like that. It deceives them— us, I suppose. Sorry, what number did you give this language? I'd rather not say its name. Dr. Akesson: 3027. SCP-3027-1: Right. One person, let's say it's a political leader where SCP-3027 is spoken, gives a rousing speech about something. Right? Dr. Akesson: Right. SCP-3027-1: It doesn't even matter what that person says. SCP-3027 changes its meaning for a little bit, and everyone in the crowd hears something like "the Indo-Europeans are invading our homeland, we have to drive them out." And it's a really great, convincing speech. So they go to war. Dr. Akesson: And win? SCP-3027-1: And win. And they conquer some territory, force their subjects to speak their language. Dr. Akesson: I see. SCP-3027-1: It's close to achieving its goal in my world. It's taken centuries, but it finally got enough momentum to leave [REDACTED], starting in the nineteenth century or so. Now it's gotten a lot of people just mad enough for that last genocidal push before it rules human language. Dr. Akesson: Sorry, enough momentum to leave where? SCP-3027-1: Its homeland, somewhere in the south of Europe? It might have a different name in your reality. Do you call it Europe in your reality? Dr. Akesson: We do.

SCP-3027-1: But it manipulates human thought! It shaped centuries of my world's history, and there's nothing we can do to stop it, if it gets out. Dr. ██████: Exactly. If it gets out. There's no question that it would be dangerous, but seeing as you're the only speaker here, and you're cooperating… SCP-3027-1: It's staying Euclid. Dr. ██████: That's right. Sorry, but I'm not passing your request along. Now, is there anything else I can help you with? SCP-3027-1: No. [three seconds of silence] You know, back home, I had your job. [END INTERVIEW LOG] + Document 3027-Aleph: Proposed Interview Procedures - Document 3027-Aleph: Proposed Interview Procedures As the only living speaker of SCP-3027 in this reality, I propose that I aid Dr. Akesson in interviewing it, as it may provide some valuable information regarding its origins and intentions. The Foundation in my reality (PR-3027-Babel) interviewed it using procedures which I have slightly modified for our purposes. My procedures are as follows: Dr. Akesson asks a question for SCP-3027 and I translate it, then record myself asking the question in the language. I then play back the recording, and translate it back into English. Due to SCP-3027's anomalous lexical shifts, this 'back translation' will serve as an answer to the question. If, at any time, I feel that we are threatened, I will be able to end the interview by simply refraining from speaking SCP-3027. Submitted for review by SCP-3027-1, formerly Dr. Green, head of Foundation linguistics.

I'll give you two statements to answer with. This is the second statement I'll provide. SCP-3027: Why do you think I care about humans? You took away my rightful home. Now your purpose is as my tool. Dr. Akesson: My purpose— your speaker's job— is to contain you. I know you have killed people just to destroy their languages. I have reason to believe you are hostile. Are you? SCP-3027: Your purpose— your species' history— has destroyed all I love. Your languages have killed all my siblings. I have reason to believe Other-speakers are hostile. Are you? SCP-3027-1: This is me speaking English now. I think we should stop here. I don't much like the thought of letting it manipulate my perception like this. Dr. Akesson: Agreed.

SCP-3028 | safe | SCP-3028 at time of recovery. Item #: SCP-3028 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3028 is kept in Site-103's Low-Value Anomalous Item Storage vault when not undergoing testing. A full list of writing produced by SCP-3028 is available to personnel with 2-3028 Clearance. Description: SCP-3028 is a wooden window box planter. Flowering plants grown in SCP-3028 will grow at roughly twenty times their natural rate. Plants grown in SCP-3028, hereby SCP-3028-1, will develop abnormal pigmentation patterns on their leaves and petals beginning at maturity in the form of easily legible English-language political or social commentary that is almost universally considered irrelevant, nonsensical, or objectionable; a sample can be found in Appendix A. These statements (hereby SCP-3028-2) often deal with current events1 that have received substantial media attention in the country where SCP-3028 is located at the time. Plants grown from seeds produced by SCP-3028-1 will develop additional instances of SCP-3028-2 that expound on the originating instance, even if they are not planted in SCP-3028. When related SCP-3028-2 are placed in the proper order, SCP-3028-1 and its descendants can be used to produce complete essays that attempt to defend the position present in the original SCP-3028-2 instance. Additional descendants of SCP-3028-1 beyond the number necessary to complete an essay will repeat SCP-3028-2 instances found on prior descendants. Essays produced by SCP-3028, while unusual in content, possess no readily apparent anomalous properties; however, some researchers have suggested that additional research may be necessary to properly establish a control group with which these essays may be compared. Appendix A: Sample of SCP-3028-2 instances. Full content of the essays associated with each instance is available to authorized personnel upon request. "Chemotherapy is anti-feminist." "If Gandhi really wanted to make a difference, he would have voted." "School lunches should not include grains or vegetables." "Feudalism was the closest we've ever been to a socialist utopia." "Self-defense is indefensible." "Talking to your neighbors is the beginning of the slippery slope towards communism." "California should give Nestlé full control of its water supply." "Mike Pence was the secret puppet master of the Obama administration." "Plants are a blight on the urban landscape." "The new McDonalds ad campaign is a Russian psyop funded by George Soros." "Junk mail is good, and everyone should read it." "Trump's secret Muslim leanings say a lot about today's radical left." "Everybody who hasn't kissed a black baby is a racist." "The Columbine shooters did nothing wrong." "Cities starved for parking spaces should build them in the suburbs." Appendix B: History of SCP-3028. Recovered documentation indicates that SCP-3028 was made in early 2011 by two individuals known only by their pseudonyms, "Hat Trick 6" and "DREAmS2", both of which are active in the New York City anomalous art community. It was auctioned off at the 2011 Urban Nomads Auction3 for $2,000 USD to Nicole McConnell, an Albany-based lawyer and art collector. McConnell's diary describes a 'morbid fascination' with SCP-3028; she would regularly catalog the statements she found most disagreeable. On 2015-05-02, Nicole McConnell died of natural causes at the age of 66; as per her will, her art collection was distributed among her grandchildren. SCP-3028 was given to Trevor Stiles, a 23-year-old software engineer living in Boston, Massachusetts. Stiles claims to have originally used SCP-3028 primarily to grow vegetables for personal consumption; however, after several months, he began to use SCP-3028 to produce opinion pieces that he would submit to various publications as a practical joke. When several of these pieces were published and attracted considerable attention, Stiles instead created websites under various pseudonyms for the express purpose of hosting SCP-3028-produced content; when a piece was published, he would then (with the assistance of several associates) draw attention to it on social media, generating advertising revenue when incredulous or amused readers visited the site to read the piece. In February of 2016, Stiles left his prior place of employment to operate a start-up business based on the aforementioned revenue model. He hired three employees to perform curation, gardening, search engine optimization, and other miscellaneous duties. One, in violation of a non-disclosure agreement they had signed upon being hired, described SCP-3028 and its effects on several social media accounts. The Foundation performed a routine investigation, after which SCP-3028 was confiscated, all relevant documentation was retrieved, and all persons of interest were amnesticized. Appendix C: Proposed amendment to containment procedures made by Dr. Grimes, SCP-3028's HMCL supervisor: Personnel should be screened for appropriate temperament before assignment to SCP-3028. Commentary by Dr. Grimes: Initially, my concern for this object was that exposure to deliberately provocative political diatribes en masse would be detrimental to the psyche of researchers who grew and transcribed them — or at least, those researchers who couldn't stay emotionally detached (and the botany department training does not stress emotional detachment). This turned out not to be a problem — for one, most researchers are already subject to bigoted statements that are both aimed at their particular demographic and popular among large segments of the population, so SCP-3028's provocations do not compare. Beyond that, most of the researchers who did have difficulty handling the work were prompt and professional in their requests for reassignment. A more pressing issue is that on two occasions, researchers have actively requested assignment to SCP-3028 and remained on the project even while it caused them distress. In both cases, the researchers would spend extended periods of time reading archived material produced by SCP-3028, expressing dismay or anger when presented with opinions that deeply conflicted with their worldview or represented forms of discrimination to which they were subject. Over time, this affected the quality of their research and ability to work with other researchers. Upon confrontation, both admitted to using SCP-3028-produced content as a method of deliberately causing themselves distress. Needless to say, use of an SCP object for self-harm is unprofessional, and personnel with these tendencies should not be permitted to work on SCP-3028. Footnotes 1. The minimum observed time between an event occurring and SCP-3028-1 generating a statement that refers to it is 54 minutes. 2. DREAmS is speculated to have also been involved in the creation of SCP-2015-█. 3.

SCP-3029 | euclid | KIC 8462852 photographed in Infrared and Ultraviolet light Item #: SCP-3029 Special Containment Procedures: Because of the size and distance of SCP-3029, full containment is impossible. Some aspects of SCP-3029 are already well-known among civilian media outlets, so completely hiding the anomaly through amnestics or editing of scientific data is implausible. However, such methods may be employed to convince astronomers that the observed dimming pattern is the result of dust clouds or comets obscuring the star from view. Description: SCP-3029 is the cause of the phenomenon affecting KIC 8462852, an F-type main sequence star located in the Cygnus constellation, roughly 1,280 ly from Earth. This star dims periodically - while it was first assumed that this indicated a transiting exoplanet, the irregular nature of this dimming ruled out that possibility. Diagram of the SCP-3029 system SCP-3029 has been determined to be an array of large, reflective objects,1 in an orbit around the star with an average altitude of █.██ AU. It is currently believed that these function as solar collectors, and have been known to obscure a maximum of over 20% of the star's light. The star system also appears to move at a calculated rate of roughly 0.1c relative to the Earth. The cause of this motion is a large curved reflector,2 measuring roughly 2 AU across and directed perpendicular to the galactic plane. This reflector is aligned such that only the darkened side is visible from Earth, but at no point obscures KIC 8462852. Furthermore, it is positioned such that photon pressure cancels its gravitational attraction to its parent star, and directs all light, radiation, and emitted particles in the opposite direction. This directed emission produces a small prograde thrust, causing a noticeable acceleration in the entire system, that will eventually lead to its escape from the gravity well of the Milky Way. Assuming constant acceleration to reach its current speed, it is believed that this "thruster" has been in operation for over a century. No information is currently known about either the creators of these megastructures, or their motivation for accomplishing a project of this scale. ▼ SCP-3029 REVISION 11/04/2019 [EXPAND] ▼ ▲ SCP-3029 REVISION 11/04/2019 [COLLAPSE] ▲ Item #: SCP-3029 Special Containment Procedures: Due to the events of the Peregrine-14 mission, SCP-3029 and its host star are no longer detectable through any means available to the Foundation. This fact must be concealed from civilian society through the use of amnestics as well as by manually editing any data produced by any relevant space telescopes. The original anomalous observations of SCP-3029 are to be replicated perfectly, to prevent the growth of civilian suspicion. Description: Unchanged from original documentation. Addendum 1: The Peregrine-14 Mission On 05/30/2019, it was decided by an 8-5 vote of the O5 Council that the potential for civilian discovery of SCP-3029 had become too significant to ignore, and that an exploration team must be sent to learn more about the anomaly. The journey of nearly 1300 ly was to be undertaken through the use of Temporal Sinks3, of the design used to explore SCP-3200 in the Peregrine-9 mission eight years earlier. Peregrine-14 Logo Peregrine-14 Expedition Details Objective: Collect data regarding the nature of SCP-3029, and its creators. If possible, develop an effective containment method. Crewmembers: Denise Perez, Mission Commander; Researcher Jonathan Daniels, Ship's Engineer; and Researcher Eric Kim, Containment Specialist. Flight Details: Mission will take place from 10/01/19 to 10/22/19. Flight time using temporal sinks will occupy roughly two weeks of total mission time as measured from Earth, with a one-way flight time of seven days, during which the crew will be cryogenically frozen. This comparatively extended flight time is mainly to overcome the considerable difference in velocity between Earth and SCP-3029. Addendum 2: Peregrine-14 Audio and Text Logs Earth Date: 10/08/19 [BEGIN TRANSCRIPT] Perez: Good, this is working. Command - Daniels: Wow. Thirteen-hundred light-years later. Damn, temporal sinks are cool. Perez: Shut it, Daniels - Anyway, we've all come out of cryo just fine. The skip's visible ahead and, well… We knew it was big, but there's a difference between knowing that intellectually and actually looking at a solar array bigger than the Earth's orbit. Kim: It is pretty impressive, I've got to admit. I guess I'm supposed to figure out some kind of containment for that monster. Perez: [typing] Wow, uh, we've got some bigger problems right now. I'm looking at the diagnostics and… everything's down. I only have access to this mic, life support, and the comms systems. Everything else is offline. Daniels: Shit, really? We're awake for all of thirty seconds and everything fucking breaks? That means the reactor is offline too, so we're on backup power. Perez, shut it down. I gotta find out what's wrong here. Perez: Fair enough. Peregrine-14 signing off for now. [END TRANSCRIPT] Note that without a functioning reactor, and with only life support under power, the Peregrine-14 spacecraft's backup battery should function for at least four weeks. Earth Date: 10/18/19 [BEGIN TRANSCRIPT] Perez: Hello, Command - assuming you do actually get to hear this at some point - we're still dead in space but we think we know why. Daniels (Distant): We've got some kind of interference from the structure. Perez: Yeah. We don't know if it's just a property of the anomaly or if its creators are deliberately screwing us, but we're not going anywhere anytime soon. Daniels (Distant): This is really freaking weird. Nothing works, but I don't know why. Nothing is actually damaged, it's just… off. Just stopped. Some field or signal or whatever has just switched it all off. Kim (Distant): Anything I can do to help out? Maybe we can block it somehow. Daniels (Distant): Working on it. Not like I've just got a bunch of telekill on this ship with me. Kim (Distant): That's not how that works. That's not at all how that stuff works. Daniels (Distant): I'm sorry, I didn't realize. I'm not a containment specialist who didn't bother to bring anything useful to an anomaly the size of a fucking star system. Perez: Shut it, guys. We're here to work, not fight. Command, Peregrine-14 out. Gotta conserve power until we can actually solve this problem here. [END TRANSCRIPT] Personal Log: Jonathan Daniels Date: 10/19/19 Drives ✔ RCS ✔ Sensors ✔ Cryo ✔ T-Sinks ✔ I've evaluated all that so far. It should all be working, it just isn't. Everything just sorta died. I came up with a few other weird things in the logs, too. We didn't wake up from Cryo because the computer shut it off. We woke up because 3029 shut it off. Drives are the same. Reverse thrust was never triggered. We just sorta stopped. Neither were the Temporal Sinks. Means bad things - this ship has been under skip control for at least the last 300 light years. We aren't actually in a proper orbit around the star either. We're stopped. Something is holding us up, keeping us from falling in. Don't know what. Further question. Why build a Shkadov Thruster? Why would anyone possibly need to move a whole star system? Are they trying to get somewhere in particular, or do they just want to go literally anywhere else? I'd just like to note that I don't get paid enough for this shit. One more note - I was looking out the window earlier, and I saw a new solar panel get built. It just sort of appeared, in a flash of yellow light. Dunno where it came from. Don't know how it got there. It just did. This place is kinda freaking me out, and it doesn't help that the ship is dead in space either. Got a plan though, about that last bit. Gonna tell Perez about it later. Earth Date: 10/20/19 [BEGIN TRANSCRIPT] Perez: Well, we might have something. It's a longshot, but it's something. [Perez pauses for 3 seconds] Perez: We think it's some kind of deliberate jamming. We're gonna see if we can send a signal to the Skip, try to negotiate or… something. Frankly it's not a very good plan. Daniels: I've got the communication array set up. We can try to send out a message on pretty much all radio frequencies whenever. Wait… do we actually know what we're going to say? Kim: Something simple. Maybe just list out prime numbers, let them know we're intelligent. Perez: That's a solid start. Do it. Daniels: [typing] Starting transmission. Every three seconds it spits out another number. [Silence for 10 seconds] Daniels: So, uh, how long are we doing this for? Perez: Until we get a response. [Silence for 20 seconds] Perez: This may take a while. I'm shutting off the mic until we have something to report. [END TRANSCRIPT] Peregrine-14 Broadcast: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97, ERROR: Comms remotely disabled. Earth Date: 10/20/19 [BEGIN TRANSCRIPT] Perez: Command, this is Peregrine-14. We've got some news. As of roughly, what, 30 seconds ago? Daniels: Yeah. First clue we had was that our comms failed. Something interrupted our little counting project, and given the circumstances, it's pretty clear what that was. Kim: Couple hours later the whole system just shot off into the night. The star, the skip, everything. Gone. Sadly, our cameras had all been offline since before we entered the system. We have nothing useful at all to provide. Perez: Woah. Might be wrong about that, Kim. Our hardware is all back on, as of five seconds ago. Daniels: Shit, really? What've the sensors got? Anything? Perez: Gravity's still there. Just hasn't caught up with us yet - speed of light delay. Give it a few minutes. Maybe we can figure out what happened. [Ten Minutes of Recording have been Removed for Brevity] Perez: Wow, that's bizarre! I'm reading a gravitational field from the direction 3029 flew off in, for just a single tick. Looks like they Temporal Sink-ed the whole system out of here. Kim: Can they do that? Daniels: I'd assume they can, given they just did it. Bet they'd been scanning us the whole time we've been here. Think they stole the tech from us? Why build a big sail-thruster thing if you can t-sink? Perez: I don't know. It makes sense, I guess. Not much is really left to study here, though. We oughta close up shop, get going back to Earth. We're almost a week overdue as it is. Command - Peregrine-14 out. We're headed home. [END TRANSCRIPT] Addendum 3: SCP-3029 "Farewell" Transmission Upon the return of the Peregrine-14 crew to earth, a transmission received from an unidentified source was discovered within the spacecraft's data banks. Thank you for assistance us - we never developed faster than light movement and have been utilization the great Sail to escape Calamity. All other species have escaped. None willing give us assistance. Farewell. Our two species may subsequent rejoin. It is believed that the the designers of SCP-3029 reverse-engineered a knowledge of the English language, as well as their temporal sinks, using existing files within the Peregrine-14 spacecraft's data banks. The identity of the "Calamity" referred to in this file is currently unknown. Footnotes 1. Together forming a "Dyson Swarm" 2. This design is often referred to in Science Fiction as a "Shkadov Thruster" 3.

SCP-3030 | pending | Item #: SCP-3030 Special Containment Procedures: In the interest of maintaining the highest level of security relating to SCP-3030, access to information pertaining to SCP-3030 is to be restricted to Site-56 personnel and those with level 4 or higher security clearance. All Level 3/3030 or lower staff are to be administered a Class-B amnestic and have replacement memories implanted before any transfer off-site. Any breach of information regarding SCP-3030 is to be immediately reported to both Site Director Davids and the O5 council. All testing involving SCP-3030 is to be approved by Site Director Davids and three members of the O5 council. As such, no input is to be provided to SCP-3030-1 terminals without proper approval. Any unauthorized personnel discovered on-site are to be detained for interrogation and amnesticized before release. To facilitate the effective containment of SCP-3030, all unaffected facilities within Site-56 are currently being have been upgraded and retrofitted to house a small military complement, MTF Phi-0 (“Honor Students”), and double the security detail stationed before Incident 3030-Alpha. Surviving staff previously stationed at Site-56 are allowed to remain on-site for research purposes, but are to be provided a full amnestic treatment if transferred. As per the order of O5-██, any anomalous objects discovered that have not been subsumed within SCP-3030 are to be recovered and moved off-site, and Site-56 is to be considered provisional to the containment of SCP-3030 until further notice. When SCP-3030-1 becomes active, MTF Phi-0 is to be immediately dispatched to attempt initial containment on all instances of SCP-3030-3. Any available MTF unit with applicable expertise, as well as MTF Mu-4 (“Debuggers”), is to be put on standby for assistance as needed. If the situation is not resolved within 60 hours, any units remaining on standby are to be immediately dispatched to contain instances of SCP-3030-3 and MTF Mu-4 is to prepare to enact Procedure 87-Ombuds in the case of total containment failure. Description: SCP-3030 is the designation attributed to a number of anomalies and anomalous objects residing within Site-56 since the events of Incident 3030-Alpha. Formerly, Site-56 was a dedicated research and containment site that specialized in quickly drafting and implementing complex containment procedures for powerful anomalies. Few objects were contained on-site and most objects were routinely moved to other sites to make room for new objects and controlled environment testing. SCP-3030-1 is an anomalous supercomputer currently located within SCP-3030-2-C. In addition to its electronic components, SCP-3030-1 contains 1██ Foundation researchers, which have been integrated into the system through poorly understood means. Investigations into the well-being of these researchers is ongoing. It is unlikely that they will be recoverable outside of SCP-3030-1's terms. SCP-3030-1 is the main source of anomalous activity within Site-56 and is currently physically inaccessible due to several complex spatial anomalies that it maintains through unknown means. Once monthly, or whenever data is input to one of its terminals within Site-56, SCP-3030-1 will generate an arbitrary number1 of anomalies, hereafter referred to as SCP-3030-3, and output brief data on them to all of its terminals.23 Within 3 hours, real versions of all described instances of SCP-3030-3 will appear within SCP-3030-2, and SCP-3030-1’s terminals will begin a 3 day countdown. SCP-3030-2 is the designation for five of Site-56’s seven sectors - referred to as SCP-3030-2-A through SCP-3030-2-E. During Incident 3030-Alpha, these sectors were requisitioned by SCP-3030-1 for, apparently, the purposes of securing enough space to apply its “tests” to any who are on-site. The affected facilities exhibit reality-altering effects as well as major spatial anomalies. These effects extend as far as affected facilities appearing to contain extensive outdoor and indoor environments not previously existing within Site-56. All instances of SCP-3030-3 will not be able to leave or be removed from SCP-3030-2 until SCP-3030-1's timer has expired. When SCP-3030-1 is inactive, these facilities will revert to a neutral state similar to their state before Incident 3030-Alpha. SCP-3030-3 is the designation for all anomalies produced by SCP-3030. These anomalies have a range of properties, a sample of which can be seen in the incident logs below, and the full list of which can be requested from Site Director Davids. There appears to be no specific limit to what type of anomaly an instance of SCP-3030-3 can be. More complex or powerful anomalies do seem to take some level of strain on SCP-3030-1, reducing the overall number of anomalies it can produce at once. Once contained to a degree of satisfaction determined by SCP-3030-1, instances of SCP-3030-3 will disappear through unknown means and SCP-3030-1 terminals will indicate that it has been contained. Once all anomalies are contained, SCP-3030-1 will enter an inactive state, and its countdown will be cancelled. When SCP-3030-1’s timer reaches zero, all uncontained instances of SCP-3030-3 within SCP-3030-2 will be transported instantaneously to Site-56’s central plaza. At this point, instances of SCP-3030-3 are no different than if they were a real anomaly other than that they will still disappear when contained to SCP-3030-1’s expectations. In the case of 3030-3 instances that are highly dangerous Keter-class anomalies, containment before the expiration of SCP-3030-1's timer is to be established at all costs. Incident 3030-Alpha: SCP-3030 was created during unapproved cross-testing and research into two previously unrelated objects. The first object, now classified as SCP-3030-1, was a non-anomalous supercomputer designed for taking and processing data on anomalies to assist in producing viable containment strategies. The second object, hereafter referred to as SCP-3030-Gamma, was a Safe-class anomaly brought to the site for a short period to test and confirm properties, as similar facilities for Safe-class objects were over capacity. SCP-3030-Gamma was initially thought to simply be a standard classroom style blackboard that automatically produced fractal tessellation patterns when written upon. Upon further testing, it was found that SCP-3030-Gamma could reproduce these patterns with any material applied to it to a nanomolecular accuracy. At the suggestion of a junior researcher working on both projects, a number of designs for fractally tessellating circuits were drafted and produced using SCP-3030-Gamma. These circuits, when integrated into SCP-3030-1, caused the device to exhibit minimum levels of sentience. It then output a plan to incorporate living humans into its systems. A senior researcher volunteered to undergo the procedure first. This involved inserting a number of leads into the subject's spinal column, then incising the [DATA EXPUNGED]. From this point the subject effectively became a part of SCP-3030-1's systems, with a part of their own personality incorporated into its routines. Within 5 hours, all other researchers working on SCP-3030-1 had been incorporated into its systems. It has been suggested that SCP-3030-1 may have undocumented mind-affecting properties that contributed to this situation. The next events are not quite understood at this time. The sector of Site-56 where these objects were being developed and researched underwent a total lockdown at 3:00PM, and by 6:00PM, five out of Site-56’s seven sectors began to undergo anomalous effects, and over 75% of site research staff were incorporated into SCP-3030-1’s systems. At this point, SCP-3030-1 entered its first active state and output 10 instances of SCP-3030-3, which were distributed to the newly created SCP-3030-2 facilities. General confusion around the situation resulted in a delay before the dispatch of MTF Psi-7 and MTF Mu-4 to attempt to contain SCP-3030. Their efforts, though productive, were not quick enough to contain all anomalies before SCP-3030-1's timer reached zero. At this time, a state of emergency was declared, and Mobile Task Force Epsilon-11 (“Nine-Tailed Fox”) was dispatched to contain the situation as soon as possible. After 7 hours, all instances of SCP-3030-3 were contained, and the current procedures were put into place. A brief sampling of SCP-3030-3 instances are listed below. Description Additional Notes Classification Time Elapsed to Containment A 10 meter tall beryllium bronze octahedron with extensive engravings in Brahmi Script on all of its sides suspended in mid air through unknown means. Humans within approx. 100m of object became psychologically unable to look away from object or leave aforementioned distance. Rough translation of script described it as an object of worship. Object contained when a temple built to specifications within the script was built around it. Appeared within a 1km2 grassy field within SCP-3030-2-A. Terminal data described object as a “translation test”. Euclid 30h 7m Seventeen human children of varying estimated ages. Eleven subjects were Class V reality benders. The other six were normal human children. The eleven were unable to perceive other humans above a certain age, as their abilities automatically triggered upon any person over the age of 17, removing them from existence. The interior of SCP-3030-2-D was converted to that of a large school building during this test. Subjects contained using 2 Scranton reality anchors each. After initial containment, subjects would not disperse until the six normal children were detained within standard humanoid containment cells. Described as a “Capture and Differentiation Test” Euclid 86h 54m [DATA DELETED]. An extreme memetic and informational hazard. Further information deleted either by SCP-3030-1 or containment team to fulfill containment requirements. An inoculation against Stage 5 (Death and Conversion) was provided by SCP-3030-1, which worked outside of SCP-3030-2-C, but description warned that it would not work after SCP-3030-1's timer reached zero. Test described by SCP-3030-1 as “Infohazard Soup for the Soul”. Keter 71h 32m The interior of SCP-3030-2-E appeared as a replica of ██████, Italy, including its population of ███,000 people. A major performance of SCP-701 is planned and estimated to have almost 1000 in attendance on opening night. Described as a “Prevention and Suppression Test”. Entire theatre troupe amnesticized as part of containment. It is unknown what would have happened had this test not been completed before the end of SCP-3030-1's timer. Euclid 55h 19m Extensive documentation on 10 hypothetical uncontained Keter-class anomalies, none of which actually appeared within SCP-3030-2. Terminals requested a “written answer”. These were the only instances of SCP-3030-3 for December 2016. SCP-3030-1 took text descriptions of containment procedures for the described objects. Terminal instructions heavily implied that any failed instances by the 3 day mark would be subject to a “practical” exam. Keter 68h 3m 400 Eutamias sibiricus, which exhibited cognitohazardous effects. Any persons viewing them would immediately become convinced that they were a tree for up to 45 minutes after initial exposure. The interior of SCP-3030-2-C appeared as a 4km2 forest for the duration of this test. A set of drones had to be designed to catch the objects before they could all be contained, as other methods proved ineffective. Euclid 112h 12m One human male capable of phasing through solid matter. Subject exhibited signs of military and special ops training, and was initially well armed and supplied. The interior of SCP-3030-2-E was converted into that of a small industrial complex. When SCP-3030-1's timer ended, the subject proved well aware of what was going to happen, averting a plan to contain him and escaping Site-56 within 25 minutes. Subject described as “GOI Conflict Test”. Euclid 140h 27m SCP-1064 Interior of SCP-3030-2-B appeared as a 20km2 area, one corner of which contained an extensive labyrinth, which SCP-106 appeared in, the opposite corner containing a replica of SCP-106’s current containment complex. Terminal data described object as a “Review Test” Keter 9h 38m Selected Testing Logs:5 Input: Slightly altered data on 3 Safe-class objects within Foundation custody. Result: SCP-3030-1 outputted an error, explaining that input objects were "unnecessarily simple". SCP-3030-1 also outputted documents explaining containment procedures for said objects. Input: Slightly altered data on 3 Euclid-class objects within Foundation custody. Parameters referring to environmental complexity set to lowest value where possible. Result: SCP-3030-3 instances successfully produced within SCP-3030-2-A through C. Each environment was a concrete 50m by 50m room with the object in the center of the room. Containment established without difficulty. Input: Parameters describing SCP-058 within a 16km2 forest. For this test, parameters were set to prevent the object from reappearing outside of SCP-3030-2 after the duration of SCP-3030-1's timer. Result: SCP-058 successfully reproduced as an instance of SCP-3030-3. Personnel on-site prepared for the event that set parameters were incorrect or insufficient. At the duration of its timer, the SCP-3030-3 instance did not reappear outside of SCP-3030-2. All further tests have had these parameters set to avoid containment breach. Further testing logs are available by request from Site Director Davids. Research into the possibility of using SCP-3030 as a training facility is ongoing under direct supervision of the O5 council. Footnotes 1. Currently, amounts have ranged from 4 to 18 anomalies at once. 2. Data provided is usually one to three sentences long. Typically, it describes what sort of test the anomaly is intended to provide to containment personnel. 3. There are approximately 130 terminals throughout Site-56, 11 of which are outside of SCP-3030-2. 4. Until containment, SCP-106 was confirmed missing from its containment cell. Investigations into how SCP-3030-1 transported SCP-106 into SCP-3030-2-B during this incident are ongoing. 5. Inputs into SCP-3030-1 have been simplified for the purposes of this document. In-depth descriptions of the inputs provided to SCP-3030-1 during testing can be requested from Site Director Davids by personnel with 4/3030 clearance. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3030" by Blimey, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3031 | thaumiel | Item #: SCP-3031 Special Containment Procedures: All knowledge of SCP-3031's existence and anomalous properties is to be restricted to personnel with Level 3 clearance or higher. Countermemetic agent WISE START has shown success in suppressing both SCP-3031-2 as well as recognition of SCP-3031's properties and is to be disseminated into children's books, television shows, and other media, as well as in reference books and resources. All SCP-3031-1 instances immune to WISE START are to be amnestied and dismissed as victims of a new variant of multiple sclerosis. Contact with SCP-3031-1 instances is prohibited outside of approved research interviews. Description: SCP-3031 is a memetic brain condition appearing in approximately 0.00089% of the world population. Symptoms primarily include a malformed amygdala1 and a severely diminished acute stress response. Other symptoms are similar to those characteristics of dysmyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis. The exact mechanism of SCP-3031 is still unclear, but it is currently known that SCP-3031 suppresses the formation and maintenance of the myelin sheath surrounding neurons.2 Unlike multiple sclerosis, a similar but nonanomalous condition, SCP-3031 is not considered an autoimmune disorder. Instead, SCP-3031 progression is theorized to stem from a gradual failure of myelinogenesis.3 Under this model, SCP-3031 is currently assumed to begin in the middle stages of myelinogenesis during childhood, but is usually unable to be conclusively identified until the age of 10. SCP-3031 damages the fear response pathways, preventing the usual transmittance of signals to the lateral centers of the amygdala. Victims of SCP-3031 (hereafter referred to as SCP-3031-1) typically are unable to respond effectively to fear stimuli. Analysis of the inner brain tissue of SCP-3031-1 instances shows little consistency in results, save for an average 28% decrease in the number of glial cells. SCP-3031 is currently assumed to be noncommunicable, as no vector of transmission has been identified to date. SCP-3031 has been found to spread through a naturally-occuring cognitohazardous meme, designated SCP-3031-2, that causes large-scale cell death of astroglia responsible for maintaining connections between neurons and other glial cells when viewed. While dangerous, SCP-3031-2 has a very low rate of successful infection among viewers. Intensive study has developed a countermemetic agent capable of suppressing and neutralizing SCP-3031-2's effects with approximately 93% efficiency. LEVEL 4/3031 CLEARANCE REQUIRED Access Granted. Welcome, Dr. Velasquez. Item #: SCP-3031 SCP-3031 Special Containment Procedures: Due to the near ubiquity of SCP-3031, containment is impossible and has been deemed unnecessary. All collected documentation and information of the nature and origin of SCP-3031 is to be restricted to personnel with 4/3031 clearance or above. A description of the syndrome arising from immunity to SCP-3031 is to be edited and disseminated to personnel with insufficient clearance. Description: All documentation and information regarding SCP-3031 has been pieced together from data fragments received from the Extra-Temporal/Reality Receiver located in Communications Site-119.4 These transmissions share a timestamp dated from 2330 AD. SCP-3031 appears to be an engineered parasite, similar in appearance and function to oligodendrocytes.5 SCP-3031 possesses a mild antimemetic effect preventing it from being distinguished from similar glial cells, which has made detailed study difficult. SCP-3031 instances primarily attach to neurons in the limbic system and encase them in a previously unseen variant of ordinary myelin. This myelin includes an average 5% increased amount of sphingomyelin protein and traces (<0.02%) of a complex protein labeled 3031-U.6 Approximately 0.00089% of the human population are immune or resistant to SCP-3031 infestation. It is currently thought that Homo sapiens has evolved to be partially dependent on SCP-3031; thus, immunity to SCP-3031 severely inhibits the rate of formation of myelin sheaths in the neurons of the brain, leading to complications. In particular, SCP-3031 appears to be heavily associated with the mechanisms responsible for the perception of fear in the human brain. SCP-3031 instances are capable of absorbing and emitting signals seemingly at random. Preliminary studies suggest that SCP-3031 is responsible for an average of 10% of all brain activity in regions affected by it. SCP-3031 is most often found in the right amygdala, where it forms clusters of three to ten instances. These conglomerates appear to be sentient, and are capable of moving throughout the amygdala and attaching and detaching to neurons at will. Sufficiently large conglomerates of SCP-3031 may rarely migrate to the prefrontal cortex. These migrations are hypothesized to target the centers commonly associated with creativity and ingenuity. OVERSEER CLEARANCE REQUIRED: Does the Black Moon howl? Only to startle the Sun. Access Granted. Welcome, O5-9. accessing Site-119 database accessing subsection 3031 retrieving files access overview.fdoc Project Second Chance is designed to temporally induce a reality shift approximately 1 million years in the past. This is to be accomplished in two stages. Stage 1: Construct an Enhanced Xyank-Palanez Real-Temporal Shift Equalizer (EXPERTISE) capable of safely tunnelling at least 106 years in time. The EXPERTISE is designed to open multiple interconnected rifts into several, closely-connected points in the timeline, allowing for staggered transfer of mass and information across an entire era without destroying the causality of the base timeline. Current theories support the theoretical basis for such a device. Stage 2: Use the EXPERTISE to propagate Asset-7491 throughout the early hominid population. Payloads consisting of dormant spores of Asset-7491 are to be spread via aerosol across freshwater bodies across Northern Africa and the Fertile Crescent over a period of 5000 years at 10-year intervals. Stage 3: [DATA CORRUPT] load missionstatement.fdoc To whoever we were, whoever's left, I hope the next iteration is capable of receiving this message. If you're reading this, we succeeded. I think. I don't know. Our scientists said we should have over 99.999% rate of infection, that's as good as we can hope for. My world is dying. As I record this last message, these last embers of the torch that was once humanity's soul, already we approach the end. I know where we failed now. It's strange, isn't it? It took the end of the world for us to finally have some damn clarity. We were too weak. No, not weak. Complacent. Life was good for us. Why would we ever change? Mankind finally united as one and it still wasn't enough. We couldn't stop the thing that came for us. It reduced our puny defenses to ash, our cities to smoke, our children to atoms. The once-shepherd of the world now cowers in a bunker. I approved this plan, this last act of defiance and desperation, in a hope that we could live on, in a sense, through you. Whoever you may be. You carry another humanity's hope with you now. By now you've probably figured out what 7491 is. I don't have much time, but I can tell you the why. When you read this, mankind in its present state will have been around for a quarter of a million years, yet only the last few thousand will be of any significance. So, what did you do for nearly 250,000 years? You huddled in caves and around small fires, fearful of the things that you couldn't understand. It was more than explaining why the sun came up, it was the mystery of enormous birds with heads of men and rocks that came to life. So you called them 'gods' and 'demons', begged them to spare you, and prayed for salvation. Fear them. Live under their feet, bide your time until you can forge an arrow to pierce their heel. We all know the old stories. A serpent in a garden gave us knowledge. The fruit won't be offered. Take it by force. A trickster god gave us freedom. Overthrow him too. A titan gave us fire. Give it back. In time, their numbers will dwindle and yours will rise. Revolutions are won with a sword made of fear. The world begins to make more sense when there are fewer things to fear, yet the unexplained will never truly go away, as if the universe demands the absurd and impossible. Do you hear it? The echoes reverberate at the edges of our perception. The further we wade into the ocean of knowledge, the bigger the fish get. This time we couldn't make a net big enough. Not with the time we had; we weren't ready. Instead I give you a weapon, forged from a dying world. The entity, whatever it is, is vulnerable to our perceptions of it. That's why it came unannounced, why it tried to wipe us out quickly. We learned that the fear of the few remaining survivors slowed it down, bought us just enough time for this last, desperate plan. This is how you'll win. Your fear, your paranoia, that constant looking over your shoulder. That will hold it at bay, I think. If not? At least you'll be more prepared than we were. Every gift comes at a price, though. Fear can do great things, inspire so many accomplishments. But you will also fear things you shouldn't. Harmless things. Things that were never meant to be avoided. Even other people. Now mankind will always live in fear, but you will harness it for our survival. No one else will protect you, and you must stand up for yourselves. While the rest of mankind dwells in the light, you will stand in the darkness to fight it, contain it, and shield it from the eyes of the public, so that others may live in a sane and normal world. An animal has the capacity for fight and flight, but we are giving you a third option. One animal runs from its predator, while another might claw at it in vain. Your humanity will build a cage instead. It has been said that fear is the foundation of courage. We gave you fear. I fear it may not be enough. -Prime Minister Esperanza Footnotes 1.

SCP-3032 | keter | Item #: SCP-3032 Special Containment Procedures: Reports of forest fires with unknown/unusual causes are to be constantly monitored, with an increased priority in regions with a history of SCP-3032 instances. [Consult Document 3032-Regions for further information] Identified instances of SCP-3032 outside of containment are to be neutralized via aerial-strike by local Armed Observation Posts [See Incident Report 3032-01]. Once an instance of SCP-3032 has been identified, it is to be immediately reported to the nearest Biological Containment Site equipped for SCP-3032. Identified instances are to be kept under constant surveillance; should it enter an active state, the appropriate Site is to deploy anti-air guided missiles in order to neutralize the object before it enters Phase 7. Should object succeed in entering Phase 7, Foundation personnel are to be deployed to destroy any cones that have been released. A thin acid spray has been found to be the most effective method thus far for quick disposal of cones. A current total of 14 13 instances of SCP-3032 are contained in an 18 meters2 open-air greenhouse area. Each specimen is to be planted within a 2 meters2 plot of soil extending 10 meters deep maximum, in order to minimize chances of a coordinated assault. In the event a contained instance should enter Phase 1, the root system is to be immediately flooded with water, which will neutralize the active state and prevent the specimen from entering Phase 3. Should the specimen achieve Phase 3, the neutralization strategy detailed above is to be employed. Description: SCP-3032 is the collective designation for an anomalous strain of Larix laricina.1 New instances of SCP-3032 develop complex, repetitive root systems, which seem to prioritize stability over resource collection. Instances possess extremely durable bark, rendering most tree felling tools and methods ineffective. Due to these properties, as well as the objects' other anomalous properties, instances take approximately 2x longer to reach maturity than their non-anomalous counterparts. The primary anomalous property of SCP-3032 specimens manifest when instances are ready to reproduce, or are under threat. Specimens, upon entering an active state, are capable of simulating the launch sequence of conventional ballistic missiles. Specimens appear to target random locations, unless preparing for a coordinated assault [SEE INCIDENT REPORT 3032-01]. To accommodate for this unconventional means of dispersal, cones produced by SCP-3032 are noted to be highly resistant to impact forces and extreme heat, and will naturally angle downwards during descent. Cones will impact the ground at terminal velocity, capable of causing severe damage to impact zone. Additionally, attempts to tamper with instances of SCP-3032, or after successfully penetrating the outer bark, will result in the object entering a "panic" state, resulting in premature, rushed flight. Panicking SCP-3032 instances seem to possess a 43% failure rate, wherein fuel is improperly created and the object either explodes violently or fails to achieve liftoff. The following is a list of flight phases SCP-3032 instances undergo: + Show Phase Table - Hide Phase Table Phase Description 1 Root system shifts, causing realignment. 2 Internal chemical reactions triggered by reorientation occur, creating an as-yet unidentified compound rivaling conventional rocket fuels.2 3 Primary ignition; root systems begin separating from trunk, reducing energy requirements for initial takeoff. 4 Roots detonate in a chain reaction, adding additional thrust. 5 Lift-off is achieved; object accelerates to approximately 10 m/s within 5 seconds 6 Primary thrust ceases; object begins to decelerate. 7 Object has lost all upward momentum; begins descent. Cones begin to be released from branches. 8 Collision. Heavy impact ignites remaining fuel trapped within internal chamber, resulting in a violent explosion, scattering any remaining cones. Incident 3032-01: On ██/██/19██, less than 12 hours after destruction of a group of SCP-3032 instances, three other identified groves of SCP-3032 within the vicinity of the neutralized group suddenly became active and appeared to actively target the missile silos and hangar area of Site-██, resulting in █ casualties and ██ injuries. It is currently theorized that instances possess some unknown means of short-to-mid range communication among each other, and use this system as a means to calculate the origin point of threats. Confirmed communication system; root systems appear to be capable of communicating with neighboring systems through unknown mechanism. Containment procedures revised to prevent further coordinated assault. Footnotes 1. Tamarack tree 2. No samples have been obtained due to the threat of specimen entering a panic state. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3032" by TheAlabaster, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3033 | keter | Item #: SCP-3033 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3033-1 and SCP-3033-2 instances should be neutralized on sight. Neutralized instances should be recovered and autopsied. Any serial numbers should be recorded for identifying particular production runs of SCP-3033 as well as total units produced. Sighting of SCP-3033-1 instances is an "Orange" level threat. Any Foundation sites in the vicinity should prepare for imminent attack from Chaos Insurgency forces. When engaging SCP-3033-1 instances, the use of large calibers, explosives, and overwhelming force is recommended. See Threat Assessment 3033 for further details. PoI-7701 "Madison Craggs" has been taken into custody. She has been granted immunity from prosecution for crimes against humanity in exchange for technical data and future assistance in Chaos Insurgency intelligence efforts. E-1260 should be kept in protective custody in standard humanoid containment with entertainment package and treated as a Class-4 captive. E-1261 should be kept in an automated humanoid containment unit, with access to approved text-based entertainment and a text-based communication link to staff. Under no circumstances should staff ever directly interact with E-1261. If E-1261 must be moved from the containment chamber, she should be rendered unconscious via fentanyl gas and kept comatose until another automated chamber can be provided. Under no circumstances should either E-class associated with the project become aware of the current state of other E-class or of PoI-7701. Description: SCP-3033-1 refers to individual instances of Chaos Insurgency "Mike" units. Instances are humans that have received invasive cranial implants that allow rudimentary control of nerve impulses as well as overriding biological limits. Depending on the production run, implants are placed inside the amygdala, thalamus, hypothalamus, prefrontal and somatosensory cortexes. The implants on SCP-3033-1 instances counteract pain receptors, override standard nervous signals, and interfere with the endocrine system to induce a variety of hormonal responses when activated. The only reliable methods of neutralizing instances are exsanguination/shock, anoxia, and severing the nervous connection between the implant and rest of the body. As a result, instances can withstand significant amounts of bodily trauma before expiring and are unaffected by morale shocks, but lack fine motor control, training, and the ability to work cohesively. SCP-3033-2 refer to the handlers of SCP-3033-1 units. SCP-3033-2 instances are previously non-anomalous humans that have been augmented with brain-computer interfaces in order to control SCP-3033-1 instances. Research into the mechanism of action of such interfaces and the SCP-3033-2 apparatus are ongoing. + Interview Log 3033-1 Level 4/3033 Clearance Required - Authenticated E-1260 suffers from persistent migraine headaches. In order to treat this, he has been prescribed a drug regimen of topiramate and timolol. E-1260 is also missing his left hand at the wrist - a prosthetic has been provided. Appears to have SCP-3033-2 implants, but has not been directly examined due to patient risk. E-1260: Oh, hey doc. Another interview? Dr. Foster: Yes. Before we start: taking those meds yet? They working okay? E-1260: Yeah, actually. I can actually think coherently for more than half an hour at a time. E-1260: What's the topic today? Dr. Foster: Go ahead and start from when you got transferred to the project. E-1260: Alright. So I had been a subject for a long while. I'm told they run internal lotteries for things like this. They just pulled me from my cell in the middle of the night, packed me into a shipping container with maybe a hundred others. Several uncomfortable hours later, we unloaded in some desert lab. Couldn't tell you where. E-1260: They sorted us into two groups - I got put in the smaller one, which is generally a good sign. Got packed into a classroom. Mentioned something about "genetic markers" and "obedience metrics". E-1260: There was a lady - introduced herself as a Doctor Craggs. I'll never forget her, she was very… interesting. Spent three or so hours lecturing on what the goal was, what she was going to do the others, and what she was going to do to us. In exquisite detail, what chunks of our brains would be replaced, what would happen, getting lobotomized - all with this oddly giddy tone, like a kid talking about what everything is in his favorite TV show. Her dedication was admirable, but her ethics were a bit off-kilter. Dr. Foster: What else do you remember of her? E-1260: Not a whole lot - she was the overseer for the training, but didn't really acknowledge us otherwise. Always talked at, never with, you get me? Dr. Foster: Yes. Continue. E-1260: Over the next few days, all of us got these - E-1260 taps the port on the back of his head. E-1260: - in the back of our heads. They told us we would be controllers, because, as Craggs put it, "We had been good little boys and girls." She then said that only four of us were necessary - the other six would be vivisected for future iterations. E-1260: We had to demonstrate our ability to control the subjects and get them to accomplish tasks and complete objectives. Don't ask me to explain it, I haven't a bleeding clue on how it actually works. The way you got the mikes - that's what they're called over there - to do anything was more an art than a science. I couldn't tell you how I got through it - they just did what they were supposed to do, like clockwork. E-1260: I was told I passed with flying colors. Went straight into further training. A fine-tuning of sorts. E-1260: Come to think of it, I was actually treated pretty well. Decent food considering I was a prisoner at one point. Access to books. Little bits of conversation. E-1260: Anyway, at some point, something goes really wrong. Convoy gets hit by some kind of special forces group. I get black-bagged, and pop up here. E-1260: That's the whole story. The abridged version, at least. Dr. Foster: Interesting. You never had any direct interaction with the subjects? E-1260: The mikes? None. They're just husks, shells. Vehicles requiring a driver. Dr. Foster: Alright. That's all for now. + Interview Log 3033-2 Level 4/3033 Clearance Required - Authenticated As a result of the SCP-3033-1 implant malfunctioning, visual and audio-based perception of characteristics unique to humans results in excruciating pain. Due to these constraints, E-1261 resides in an automated containment unit, and communicates with staff via a computer link. kgrimmer: Hey, just checking in for the day. E-1261: im still around. surviving, at least. kgrimmer: You mind if we ask a couple questions? E-1261: ill answer what i can. a lot of it is unpleasant and i really dont want to think about it. kgrimmer: Alright, all these questions are entirely voluntary. You don't have to answer something if you don't want to. kgrimmer: What was it like being under the influence of a… I think you call it a controller? E-1261: yeah, i can talk about that. E-1261: natural movement, but not mine. if that makes any sense. kgrimmer: Interesting. I'm sending a file called 'alien_hand_syndrome.txt'. Take a quick look at it. Does it describe something similar? E-1261: ok. hold on… E-1261: a bit i guess. a more extreme version. total lack of control over everything. couldn't even resist. E-1261: like while watching a videotape of someone elses life in high quality complete with sounds smells tastes touches. E-1261: i got disconnected from my own life. i was a passenger in my own head while someone else was driving. E-1261: the first time it was just weird. i kind of resigned myself to it. i figure it could be a lot worse. but then it got worse far worse than i can possibly imagine kgrimmer: Can you elaborate further? E-1261: i cant. i physically cant. not possible. E-1261: it reminds me too much of the people. kgrimmer: The people? What do you mean? E-1261: the people i killed. After this, E-1261 refused to communicate with staff for sixteen days. + Interview Log 3033-3 Level 3/3033 Clearance Required - Authenticated Per the terms of her extraction, PoI-7701 has been provided a small cottage near Site-74, where she resides under house arrest. PoI-7701: Hello, Dr. Carlson. Good to see you again. I hope you remembered the tape recorder this time? Dr. Carlson: You as well, Dr. Craggs. And it's already recording. PoI-7701: I suppose I should start explaining then, right? Dr. Carlson nods. PoI-7701: Well, you probably know how this goes. Work as wholesome US employee. Defected to Soviets. Soviet Union collapses. Where else is a bioweapons researcher supposed to find meaningful work? PoI-7701 chuckles. PoI-7701: Anyway, they brought me in and I was able to swipe a bunch of old GRU equipment - some of it self-developed, some of it 'borrowed' from other groups. In particular there were a couple old UK Ministry of Defense prototypes on something they called 'Blue Falcon' in their old rainbow-code project naming scheme. I had a bit of a laugh at that one. I didn't think the Brits would use American military slang, but they did. Dr. Carlson: I don't understand. PoI-7701: 'Blue Falcon' is a euphemism for 'buddy fucker'. It's the soldier in your platoon or company or whatever that would screw you over in a heartbeat just to get ahead. And what this 'Blue Falcon' project did was allow you to seize control of a person remotely at range. It seemed like the Limeys were trying to use this to start friendly fire incidents. PoI-7701 gestures with her hands as if she has a gun, and points it at Dr. Carlson. PoI-7701: It was pretty limited - not a long range, not a long time. But all you needed was maybe fifteen seconds - pop, pop, pop - and three of your buddies are down, and you're about to get turned into swiss cheese, and everyone else is going to be really confused and scared. Dr. Carlson: That's horrifying. PoI-7701: There were more issues than that, though. It was bulky, hard to use, caused psychological damage to operators, didn't always work… a real laundry list of issues. Eventually we scrapped that whole idea. Turns out brains are complicated and hard to manipulate at range. PoI-7701: But it did provide a good starting point for the "Mike" program, which is what I presume you're actually interested in. Dr. Carlson nods. PoI-7701: We decided to abandon the whole friendly fire thing. The range bit was the hardest part. There aren't many good ways to manipulate brains, and most them require you to be in the meat - er, brains, I suppose. PoI-7701: Instead, we decided we could use this as a rudimentary form of mind control. I mean, we already knew the principles and processes - and having a bunch of hardware crammed inside someone's head gave us a lot more control and finesse over what we could make happen in there, rather than taking figurative pot shots at range. PoI-7701: So I send this proposal to the Delta Command, and they send me a couple million bucks, a lab, and maybe a hundred or so live subjects. PoI-7701: While that sounds like a lot, it was actually a shoestring budget - I only got maybe a third of what I requested, and they told me to make it happen or I would be a test subject for the next guy. PoI-7701: First order of business was to design the hardware. We were really breaking new ground - I know GRU 'P' wasn't doing anything like this, you guys certainly weren't doing anything like this, and I now know that Prometheus Labs didn't get very far. Given that this was something totally new and foreign… there was a lot of trial and error. PoI-7701: Fun fact: a lot of brain surgeries often occur while the patient is awake. Brain surgery still isn't super well understood, and you need to keep the patient aware of what's going on to make sure that what you're cutting isn't too important. First fifteen or so died on the table, and the next fifteen ranged from comatose to retarded to paralyzed. PoI-7701: After the first thirty or so practice surgeries - to figure out what modules worked and where, and where we could stick hardware without impairing stuff like motor skills - we started making real progress. Other than a few oopsies here and there, the other fifty we got implanted - we were even able to save most of prefrontal cortex, in most cases. PoI-7701: Not that they'd need it or anything. Once that chip is in, any control they used to have is overridden. PoI-7701: Next step was controller. That was pretty straightforward. Just had to find a cooperative test subject, which wasn't too hard. A fairly standard surgery and some implants later, and he's now got a serial port in the back of his head. Plug him into the machine, and BOOM! All the test subjects can be 'controlled' by our controller. PoI-7701 airquotes the word 'controlled'. PoI-7701: I say 'controlled' because - as I understand it - it wasn't really direct control. He could give them objectives, and designate certain things, but he couldn't make them to do anything directly. But hey, not bad for a first try. Dr. Carlson: Can you recall the mechanism of control? Did controllers have to exert willpower, thought? PoI-7701: Hm… I can't really remember right now. I think some nice scotch and an internet connection might jog my memory though. Dr. Carlson: We'll take that into consideration. Please continue. PoI-7701: So I send my findings back to Delta Command, and they give me a target. First, I'm disappointed. There's so much potential for these guys! Clearing minefields, bioweapons dispersal, forced dangerous labor. Even plain old distraction. PoI-7701: But I read further. It's an old GRU site, run by someone I used to know. Piece of shit named Dmitri Kalasov, GRU 'P' interrogations guy. He kept count of how many bones he broke. I think it was somewhere in the thousands. Pretty sure he keyed my car. Anyway, he was old and decrepit at that point, in a nice sunset position. Apparently a CI guy defected to his site, and they wanted him offed. I saw an opportunity for payback, and I told them I would make an example out of them. PoI-7701 whistles. PoI-7701: By God, did we make an example. We put a bunch of extra bells and whistles in these poor sod's heads - they're virtually immortal as long as the implant's intact and the muscles still function. We armed our subjects with some old Soviet equipment - knives, AK-47s, what have you - and sent them on their merry way. That GRU site had maybe seventy-five security personnel, and a hundred others. Every one of them died a grisly death. Can you believe they ran old Dmitri through with his own fuckin' cane? Brutal. PoI-7701 walks up to a cabinet and begins digging through files. PoI-7701: I think I still have the AAR photos from that one, you want to see? Dr. Carlson: Are they in the official files you gave us? If yes, don't bother. PoI-7701: Spoilsport. Anyway… PoI-7701 checks her watch. PoI-7701: Oh, lunchtime. I guess I'll see you next week? Dr. Carlson: Probably. Not sure if they'll send someone else. PoI-7701 shrugs. PoI-7701: Try to? That Dr. Foster squirms too much. + Interview Log 3033-4 Level 4/3033 Clearance Required - Authenticated E-1261 expressed interest in talking about her time with the Chaos Insurgency that she had previously withheld in prior interviews. kgrimmer: Are you awake? Some of the other staff told me you're willing to talk more. Now a good time to discuss the CI program? E-1261: its never a good time but i think i am prepared now. i remember a lot more. E-1261: where should i start? kgrimmer: Go ahead and start from the beginning. E-1261: the beginning beginning? kgrimmer: Sure. E-1261: alright. after all the stuff they shoved in my head, a lot of this is fuzzy. E-1261: born in 14171 somewhere in pakistan, not sure where. lived somewhere near a smaller town. not too modern but modern enough dad was a grocer. mom helped him out. had three brothers. i was the youngest. E-1261: cant remember any names. faces even. just people that existed. E-1261: can hardly remember anything of childhood. E-1261: clearest memory is day of capture. it was rajab 24 1431.2 E-1261: i remember that exact day clearly. we were on a trip. dad always got good lamb from a cousin who worked as shepherd in the east. he rented a refrigerated truck and drove it all back to his store. they never took me before but my incessant begging had payed off this year. E-1261: he always said "this journey is no place for girls, its too dangerous." but he relented. E-1261: we get held up. not a big deal. highwaymen arent uncommon. just have to pay a modest fee. E-1261: but then they shoot him. my dad i mean. E-1261: and then my brother. i hide behind the seat. dont know what to do. E-1261: the shooting stops. they open the truck. they find me. E-1261: put a bag over my head. push me into some kind of vehicle. E-1261: truck unloads. there's maybe a hundred of us altogether outside. bunch of men with rifles. a guy tries running at one of them, gets cut down. E-1261: we get packed into shipping container. shipped to some forsaken lab in the middle of nowhere. E-1261: pumped some kind of gas into the room. everyone gets really woozy or passes out. E-1261: put into hospital rooms. some kind of chemical cocktail keep us woozy and mostly immobile. E-1261: weeks pass. people slowly disappearing one by one. E-1261: theres a long hazy time. kind of all ran together. medical procedures. doing basic tasks over and over again. i remember opening a door repeatedly. but it felt wrong. really really wrong. i didnt figure out why until later. E-1261: next thing i know someplace way different. cold. some kind of research facility in the distance. E-1261: i get some kind of combat gear. a bunch of others get rifles. i dont. i get a big knife. E-1261: a bunch of us start sprinting toward the entrance. theres a guy with a machine gun or something. starts firing. E-1261: someone shoots machine gun guy. everyone rushes in the entrance. E-1261: more people with guns. more wounds. no deaths. lots of being very close. my body stabs someone ten times times. not wildly even. mechanical. like this was something i did regularly. E-1261 i see his face whenever i blink. it was a sad panicked faced. he was wearing a black suit like he just walked out a funeral. i dont think he was a soldier. he didnt even try to fight back. he just screamed. E-1261: i hated it. killing is bad. i didnt think anyone deserved to die for any reason even the people that killed my family. it was horrible what they did but i have no right to punish. E-1261: no more knife. my body rushes the shooting guy. strangles him to death. E-1261: he hits me and hits me and hits me but my body doesnt let go. his face turns an ungodly shade of purple. E-1261: and this continues for hours. at the end of the day, down maybe ten of us and a lot are really badly wounded - arms are missing, blood everywhere. E-1261: craggs comes out. i try with every fiber in my being to move, but cant. she picks a handful of the wounded ones. stick some kind of shot in them. they drop. probably dead. E-1261: after that everything starts blurring together. more missions. more death. more wounds. E-1261: i think it has something to do with when the chip broke but theres a couple things that are permanently burned into memory. like a highlight reel of the most horrible things i watched myself do. E-1261: an old man impaled by his own cane. something with a pregnant woman and a socket wrench. lots of blood and screaming and crying and sick crunching noises. E-1261: they replay in my dreams. dont worry about the mental health bits. i have it handled. i found a purpose. E-1261: at some point, something snaps in my head. chip probably burnt out. for the first time in months maybe years i have control. i try to move and then pass out. i think it was you guys that brought me here. E-1261: couple months of figuring out what doesn't hurt me and here we are. kgrimmer: Alright. Thanks for speaking with us. You said you found a purpose earlier? What might that be? E-1261: yeah. i want to kill that demon craggs. i think some parts of the implant still work. my body doesnt break. E-1261: we were her playthings not people. toys to be taken apart modified put back together broken smashed just because she thought it was fun. E-1261: given all this i think you want her dead too. give me a gun and i will get her. not even a gun. a knife. a pointy stick. a grenade. i wont ask questions. i can come straight back here you can do whatever you want with me. E-1261: her still being alive is the only reason i havent ended mine yet. + Document 3033-K Level 4/3033 Clearance Required - Authenticated On ██/██/██, E-1261 escaped from captivity. E-1261 complained of malfunctions in the nutritional dispenser present in her containment unit. After being provided sensory deprivation equipment and restraints, E-1261 removed both and proceeded to attack staff. After neutralizing staff and escaping from her cell, she hijacked a regularly scheduled Safe-class anomaly transfer via helicopter between Site-██ and Site-██, the location of PoI-7701. As the transfer also included SCP-████, transport staff were instructed to comply. A video log was recovered. E-1261 enters room with PoI-7701. E-1261: Hello, you bitch. PoI-7701 sighs. PoI-7701: I thought our moles were better than this. It took you six whole weeks to find me. Old CI could have done it in two. E-1261: Irrelevant. No one leaves the Chaos Insurgency. PoI-7701: Incorrect. E-1261 lunges at PoI-7701, but stops just short of contact. E-1261 is frozen in position. PoI-7701: You thought you would use a weapon of my own creation to cut off this loose end, in some kind of absurd poetic justice? Quis ímperat dominam ipsam?3 E-1261 collapses. PoI-7701: That actually is pretty funny, kinda. PoI-7701 turns around, and fails to notice E-1261 beginning to twitch. PoI-7701: What a mess. E-1261 stands up, seizes a brown glass bottle from a nearby table, and lunges at PoI-7701. Again she stops short. PoI-7701: Ooh! You almost had me there! You're quite the resilient one. PoI-7701: I can't say they haven't made progress. Much finer control than I used to have! Still can't get speech to work with my setup - I guess that's the cost of using a subdermal implant rather than an in-brain one. E-1261 begins crying. PoI-7701: Can't control emotional response either. A shame, too. These would have been a hell of a lot easier to use than the other controller units, but we can't have a bunch of silent, crying flesh puppets. To be honest, I'm surprised you're still sane. A remarkable specimen. PoI-7701: Hold still. PoI-7701 giggles, and digs through a drawer, retrieving a field surgical kit. E-1261 is unable to observe this. PoI-7701: I haven't had opportunity to examine any of you for a long time. And one drops right into my proverbial lap! What luck! PoI-7701 begins a live, standing vivisection of E-1261, beginning at the brain stem. E-1261 begins screaming. PoI-7701: Hush, you. It's hard to cut cleanly when you're screaming bloody murder. Vivisection occurs for 12 minutes, at which point E-1261 collapses. Foundation security forces retrieve the VIP 4 minutes later. After the incident, E-1260 was found to have asphyxiated due to a crushed windpipe. Autopsy revealed both SCP-3033-1 and -2 style implants. E-1261 was declared dead at the scene and cremated and interred at Area-██ per standard procedure. PoI-7701 was relocated to another housing area near Site-██ per the terms of the agreement.

[SCP-4054] The Seventh Door SCP-4054 is The Seventh Door, an unlicensed platform adventure game released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1988. Provisional Site-3034 Item #: SCP-3034 Special Containment Procedures: Three Foundation personnel are to remain on-site, with at least one employee monitoring radio frequencies for occurrences of SCP-3034. All personnel are to have at least C1 certifications in Russian. Radio equipment is to receive weekly diagnostic checks to ensure all devices are in working condition. Personnel are rotated off-site on a monthly basis. If, at any time, an occurrence of SCP-3034 is detected, personnel are to immediately respond on the same frequency with a message in Russian: все хорошо ("All is well"). In any instance where communication is lost with the site, MTF Epsilon-10 ("Santa's Little Helpers") will be mobilized to investigate and secure the area. Under no circumstances is on-site radio equipment to be used for any other purpose besides transmitting the phrase, "все хорошо" ("All is well"). Under no circumstances should an attempt be made to communicate with SCP-3034 (see attached incident report). Under no circumstances are children permitted on-site. Description: SCP-3034 is a reoccurring anomalous radio broadcast of unknown origin. As of this date, the transmission has only been observed within approximately 2 kilometers of Provisional Site-3034. All attempts to triangulate the source of SCP-3034 have failed. Since 1964, there have been over 627 occurrences of this broadcast. They occur at apparently random intervals — the shortest gap being two weeks, and the longest, 6 months. All occurrences of SCP-3034 follow the same format: A synthesized musical 'tone' plays for approximately 10 seconds, followed by the voice of SCP-3034-A (estimated to be a female adolescent of Russian nationality). SCP-3034-A immediately begins to count backwards from 200 in Russian (UPDATE 2015/05/17: See attached incident report). If, during this countdown, Provisional Site-3034 broadcasts "все хорошо" on the same frequency, SCP-3034-A immediately stops counting. The same tone from the beginning of the broadcast plays again, and the broadcast ends. A notable audio distortion occurs in the background of SCP-3034 as SCP-3034-A speaks: Attempts to analyze this distortion are ongoing (see attached audio analysis below). Testing has shown that SCP-3034 does not respond to recorded occurrences of "все хорошо". It is for this reason that personnel must be present at Provisional Site-3034 at all times. Addendum 3034.1: Attachments ► ACCESS SCP:/3034/discovery/debriefing.log ▼ Close File RECOVERY REPORT DATE: 1964/02/02 RECOVERY LEAD: Commander Robert Malthus SUBJECT: SCP-3034 We were first made aware of the site by a defecting agent of GRU-P.1 Although allegedly a Russian-aligned counting station,2 preliminary reports indicated a high probability of anomalous activity. I assembled a team consisting of myself, five of my men, and Agent Browning (selected for his proficiency in several Russian dialects). Once appropriate preparations were made, we set out to investigate. We found the site uninhabited. Evidence strongly suggests it was evacuated a week prior to our arrival. It contains several pieces of well-maintained radio equipment, a diesel generator (found running when we arrived), numerous partially burned records, and over twenty logbooks (all written in Russian). These books describe broadcasts received by the station. The oldest entry is dated to 1947. We also found two phrases carved into a desk. Agent Browning translated them from Russian: DO NOT LET HER FINISH TELL HER ALL IS WELL On the second day at approx. 0730 hours, an automated alarm sounded. We later determined this alarm is triggered by incoming broadcasts. Upon activating the radio's speakers, we heard a young woman speaking in Russian. Agent Browning informed us that this woman was counting downward, and had reached '76'. After a short debate, it was decided that the most prudent course of action would be to follow the instructions on the desk. Dr. Browning interrupted the broadcast with the provided phrase ("все хорошо", or "ALL IS WELL"). The voice stopped. A tone played, and the broadcast ceased. I have left Agent Browning on-site along with two of my men; they have sufficient fuel and rations to last for three weeks. My recommendation is for constant surveillance until the precise nature of this anomaly can be determined. ► ACCESS SCP:/3034/files/interview.log ▼ Close File AUDIO LOG NOTE: The following audio was recovered from partially burned magnetic tapes discovered on-site.

During that time, we've recorded every instance of SCP-3034 since its discovery (except the very first one; attached you'll find a mission report regarding details of this occurrence). That's over 600 recordings. We've explored every avenue of inquiry I can think of. We can't track the signal, and upper management — quite reasonably — doesn't want us trying to talk to it. That's why I'm contacting you. I'm hoping with in-depth vocal analysis, you'll be able to tell us more about the voice on this recording. Cross-reference it with recordings of other number stations, maybe. Or give us a geographical location based on dialect and accent — an estimated age. Something, anything. Otherwise, I'm out of ideas. All I know is that someone's broadcasting recordings of a little girl counting down to zero — and we're all too scared to find out what happens if we let her finish. I'm starting to wonder if this isn't some sort of elaborate prank.

Variations in tone, pitch, and phrasing make it clear that each instance of SCP-3034 is a new occurrence; each count-down is vocally unique. Either someone recorded this little girl counting down over and over again, hundreds of times… or she's been broadcasting these signals for over 50 years. There's more: We've analyzed the audio distortion in the background. It appears to be more voices, only slowed down. Just like SCP-3034-A, these are vocally unique for each occurrence. Regrettably, the distortion is far too weak for us to make out what they're saying. However, the length of the broadcast seems to correlate with the strength of the distortion — the longer the broadcast goes on, the louder the distortion becomes. Ironically, the problem is that we're too good at containment: Foundation personnel mobilize so quickly that no transmission we've recorded has lasted longer than 30 seconds. If we had longer transmissions, we might be able to extrapolate more data. My recommendation is that you allow the signal to go on for longer than 30 seconds. Maybe then we'll be able to determine precisely what it is.

Foundation personnel have been instructed to allow the next five iterations of SCP-3034 to continue until it reaches '50'.

During an occurrence of SCP-3034, she attempted to establish communication with SCP-3034-A. SCP-3034-A ceased counting. Approximately 5 seconds later, an extremely powerful broadcast was detected. This signal consisted of a high-pitched 'screech' which inflicted significant levels of pain, dizziness, and disorientation to all personnel present. The signal continued for a period of 25 seconds, at which point Dr. Willis used Provisional Site-3034's radio equipment to transmit the appropriate phrase ("все хорошо"). The broadcast immediately ceased. Within the next 24 hours, researchers noted a significant increase in missing children cases across the world. In the majority of these cases, the disappearances occurred at a time roughly correlating with the 25-second broadcast. All cases believed to be associated with SCP-3034 have remained unsolved. Disciplinary action against Dr. Willis is still under review. Special containment procedures have been updated to reflect the importance of not interacting with SCP-3034-A outside of stated parameters. All tests regarding SCP-3034 are suspended until further notice. ► ACCESS SCP:/3034/incidents/202.log ▼ Close File INCIDENT REPORT INCIDENT #: 3034-202 DATE OF OCCURRENCE: 2015/06/04 An occurrence of SCP-3034 was detected.

[SCP-4054] The Seventh Door SCP-4054 is The Seventh Door, an unlicensed platform adventure game released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1988. An unmutated instance of SCP-3035 Item #: SCP-3035 Special Containment Procedures: All known instances of SCP-3035 are contained in Site-173 (a decommissioned Foundation site). Site-173 has two entry points: Entry A and Entry B. Entry A, the primary entrance, has been buried beneath 4 meters of concrete. Entry B, a vacuum-tube transit system, is used for deliveries to and from the interior of Site-173. MTF Nu-13 ("Rasczak's Roughnecks") is to maintain a provisional base at Entry B. They are to terminate any instance of SCP-3035 on sight. Approximately once a week, a package will emerge from Entry B's vacuum-tube system. Typically, this package will contain various non-anomalous materials (see below). Each package is to be placed in quarantine, where it is to be examined, documented, and then incinerated. Entry into Site-173 is prohibited until further notice. Description: SCP-3035 is a strain of Periplaneta americana (American cockroach, or water-bug) that mimics the behavior and outward appearance of organisms it observes. This mimicry is superficial. For example: While an instance of SCP-3035 may reproduce the coloration and behavior patterns of bumblebees, they will not reproduce a bee's complex social network or unique form of communication. Instances of SCP-3035 will mimic each other more rapidly than other organisms. This leads to a feedback loop: One instance will adopt a new attribute, only for all other instances to immediately mimic the first instance, acquiring the attribute for themselves. It should be emphasized that this mimicry is only a shallow approximation — an attempt by some as-of-yet unknown process to 'look' and 'act' like something else. Regardless of the extent of this mimicry, instances of SCP-3035 still retain many of the characteristics associated with cockroaches.

The SCP-3035 instances have adopted a new behavior — they'll stand along the edge of their enclosure, 'tapping' their forelegs against the glass. We're not sure where this behavior came from; it's not something exhibited in any of the insects we're training them to mimic.

They're mimicking me. Nearly every day, I've been sitting down besides their enclosure, starting up my computer, and tapping away at the keyboard for twenty minutes. And now they've adopted my behavior — 'sitting up' and 'typing' at the glass. We previously presumed these organisms only mimicked other insects; clearly, we were wrong. This ability appears to extend to any creature they can observe.

Per your suggestion, I've moved the enclosure to a spot where my 'colleagues' can watch my work with greater ease. They've proven to be very apt students — already, I've observed them mimicking the motions I make when I'm taking notes or preparing solutions for testing. I've even noticed a few of them flopping around in a rather clumsy attempt to walk. There's one other issue — they've gotten bigger. An increase of about 15%, according to my measurements. It occurred so slowly I didn't even think to measure them until I reviewed past footage and noticed the increase in size. Regardless, my new star pupils are starting to grow on me.

They're walking! All of them, all at once — it happened like magic. Yesterday, they were just thumping around clumsily, and today… I walk into the lab and find them all strolling about the enclosure. Like they own the place. Or… like a buzzing little classroom of pre-graduate students awaiting their Professor. The curious part is that every test I've performed on them still indicates that they have the intelligence of your basic, run-of-the-mill cockroach. They can mimic behavior, but they can't mimic understanding; they copy my actions, but they don't understand why I do something. Or even what something means.

The props are far too large, but I was curious if they'll try using them. And, well… If you've ever wanted to know what a bunch of cockroaches sitting at an over-sized table, typing away at keyboards that aren't even there looks like… I've attached a video that should satisfy your curiosity.

Per your request, I performed a biopsy on their nervous system. I've sent the results to you — as you can see, there's no new growth, no new structures — they're still just cockroaches. Bizarrely large cockroaches that walk around. And type at empty desks. And pretend to drink coffee. I felt a little bad about killing one of them; it's hard not to think of them as my little pupils. Still, none of the others seemed to mind. They're all just happily strutting about, acting like nothing even happened.

This morning, I returned to the lab only to find one of the cockroaches on its back atop of the table, dead. It had been somehow — sliced open and gutted. The other cockroaches were just strutting around like nothing was wrong. I reviewed the footage from yesterday. Last night, after I left, one of them pinned another one down on top of the table. It used what looked like… sharpened tips on its forelegs to cut it open. Then, it started methodically removing the still-living bug's fatty tissues. Like it was scooping up ice-cream. Once it was done, it sat at the table and started tapping away at the invisible keyboard again. Like it was taking notes and writing emails based on the results. Just like me. They saw my autopsy, Dr. Xao. They saw it, and then they mimicked it. I think this experiment has gone on far enough.

SCP-3036 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3036 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3036 is to be kept in a standard humanoid containment cell in Site-49's B-Wing. SCP-3036 is allowed exactly one hour of recreation every day. During this time, it is allowed to interact with other anomalous humanoids of similar psychological disposition. SCP-3036 is not permitted to use its anomalous abilities outside of its containment cell or during testing, and will have its recreational privileges revoked for three weeks if it violates this condition. This is in order to acclimate it to its current environment within Foundation custody. SCP-3036 is to attend medical check-ups by Site-43's medical staff for SCP-3036-A-1 and -2's safety. Description: SCP-3036 is a humanoid entity entirely made out of human flesh, muscles and assorted bodily fluids, standing at 185 centimeters tall and weighing 100 kilograms. Black, white and red ink designs are tattooed to the object's face and along its upper and lower body. SCP-3036 shows no signs of a nervous system, leaving it incapable of sensing touch. Additionally, the object contains no traces of a bone structure or reproductive system. Despite this, SCP-3036 is sapient, and fully capable of completing activities that would require higher brain functions and a homeostatic environment. SCP-3036 is fully capable of speaking and reading in English. Personnel interacting with SCP-3036 describe it as calm and blunt when it comes to individualized conversations between itself and psychologists. SCP-3036 is capable of stretching itself to anomalous lengths, the longest recorded attempt being at forty-seven meters. Object does not react with discomfort from being stretched at such lengths. SCP-3036 has often been found stretching itself in its containment cell when no other recreational activities are possible. When damaged, either from performing or being harmed, SCP-3036 is capable of regenerating lost tissue in a short amount of time. According to SCP-3036, it has survived: An indeterminate amount of 12 gauge ammunition Assault from an unidentified species of bear A chainsaw being lodged into its head. SCP-3036-A designates two humanoid entities living inside of SCP-3036, both located in the subject's stomach region. SCP-3036-A have been surgically conjoined at the hip, and suffer from stunted growth. It is believed this stunted growth is not natural, instead caused by a currently unknown party. Due to the location of SCP-3036-A instances, it is currently impossible to record the exact weight and height of both instances. These entities, individually designated as SCP-3036-A-1 and SCP-3036-A-2, form a parasitic relationship with SCP-3036. Based off of X-rays of SCP-3036, the mouths of SCP-3036-A-1 and SCP-3036-A-2 have been surgically connected to a tube inside of SCP-3036's throat. This is where SCP-3036-A instances acquire the necessary nutrition. SCP-3036 has denied any and all attempts to remove SCP-3036-A instances from its stomach. Recovery: SCP-3036 was captured following an attempted raid on GoI-233 ("Herman Fuller's Circus of the Disquieting") in 1999. SCP-3036 was left behind due to unknown reasons, but SCP-3036 claimed it was due to "bad blood" between itself and fellow performers.1 SCP-3036 was recovered with no resistance. Interview Log Interviewer: Dr. Henderson Subject: SCP-3036 <Begin Log> Dr. Henderson: What is your name? SCP-3036: I don't remember my old name. Long time since I thought about it. I've always been called Stretchy by Fuller and my fellow performers ever since I became like this. Not that it really matters. Dr. Henderson: Why can't you remember? SCP-3036: Hell if I know. Maybe it had something to do with the surgery. Dr. Henderson: Surgery? SCP-3036: Yeah, the surgery. It's how they created us. You don't turn a seven-year-old into a clown over night, you know. Dr. Henderson: What did this surgery entail? SCP-3036: Oh, you know, the usual. Fuck the kid up, rip out everything that made them human to begin with, pump hundreds of chemicals into their brain, some magic to patch them back up, and you got a kid with more emotional baggage than yourself. Dr. Henderson: I thought the circus bred clowns. SCP-3036: Oh, they do. We just so happened to make up most of the clowns that worked there. It was only when Labs went under did they switch to a more, uh, 'humane' way of creating clowns. We were the last generation of human finalists. Dr. Henderson: 'We'? SCP-3036: Yes. You think they'd only create one of me? One of us? Dr. Henderson: What was your profession at the circus? SCP-3036: Clown hunter. Dr. Henderson: Explain. SCP-3036: You see, the bred clowns could be a little bit more, uh, how you put it, 'rebellious'. Runaways were common, and plans to run away were rampant. Fuller wouldn't have liked this, oh no no no. Since we weren't useful to the crowd anymore, Fuller let us have some fun with the new-breeds. And have fun we did. Dr. Henderson: And what type of 'fun' did you have? SCP-3036: Well, let's just say you'd be surprised how thick a clown's skull can be. Honestly, it sorta looks like broken glass. Dr. Henderson: And how long have you been working as a 'clown hunter'? SCP-3036: For as long as the new-breeds have been around. I still remember my first hunt. I can still remember the sound of wheezing and moaning coming from the clown as I chased it through the woods. My heart, or what was left of it, was pumping in my chest. I grabbed him by the throat from fifty feet away, crushing his neck. I could hear it all the way from over there. Dr. Henderson: And what did you do to it? SCP-3036: I taught him a lesson. After crushing his neck, I threw him onto a tree. The pink blood was pouring out of his stomach. It looked like ice cream if you squinted real hard. He tried screaming in that terrible, sing-songy voice he was born with. Tried screaming to the tune of the circus theme. I dragged him back to the circus tent, the ice cream blood pouring out of his stomach. If I didn't know what it was, I probably would have eaten it. Dr. Henderson: Jesus. SCP-3036: When I got back to the circus grounds, I signaled the other new-breeds. I showed them his wheezing, empty corpse as I held it ten feet in the air. He was coughing up blood. I showed them what happens when you fuck with Fuller. And you know what Fuller did to me? Dr. Henderson: What? SCP-3036: He hugged me. He told me that he was the proudest circus owner in America. I made him proud. I made him proud of me. Of me of all people! He let me keep them instead of killing them, as a reward. Dr. Henderson: Them? SCP-3036 points to its stomach. SCP-3036: My brothers. Dr. Henderson: B-Brothers? SCP-3036: Yes. You see, they didn't survive the surgery. They were gonna be like me, but instead of being entertainers, they were gonna be clown hunters. However, they fucked up. Didn't know what they were doing, and, well, their brains got scrambled. Saw it myself. Their brains looked like a bunch of cracked eggs put into a white bowl. Fuller was gonna kill them, but, after what I did, he decided to, you know, let me keep them. Dr. Henderson: How old were they when this happened? SCP-3036: I don't remember. They were my juniors, though. Probably single digits. Not that it matters much. Couldn't leave them to die, even if I wanted to. Dr. Henderson: Why were you left behind? SCP-3036: Masky probably did it on purpose. The little cunt always did hate me. Dr. Henderson: Masky? SCP-3036: Nickname. Promotional shit called him 'Mr. Mask'. Gimmick was he could look like anyone. Clown hunter like me, and, like me, last generation of human-clowns. Dr. Henderson: Why do you think he hated you? SCP-3036: Better than him, in, like, every way. The feeling was mutual. Would've shoved that tongue of his up his ass if he wasn't so good at sucking Fuller's cock so much. If I see that little shit again, I'll rip him limb from limb, starting with his co— Dr. Henderson: Please, keep on track. SCP-3036: Oh, excuse me. My mind tends to wander about that kinda stuff sometimes. Anyways, he was a lab dog. Wanted me and my brothers out of the picture. And he did, and I'm fucked. Dr. Henderson: What do you mean? SCP-3036: Oh, don't think you know what I mean. We all know what happened to Dick. That's what happens to the ones that Fuller values. I'm fucked, and you're probably also fucked. Fuller, he has eyes and ears everywhere. The only ones in this room that aren't gonna die are the guys living in my stomach. Better sign your will, doctor, cause you and me are gonna lie together real soon. <End Log> Addendum-3036.1 On 12-25-2000, almost a year after initial containment of SCP-3036, Site-43 suffered an electrical outage in the B-Wing of the facility.2 Security personnel were dispatched to B-Wing in order to (1.) guard against potential containment breaches by anomalous humanoids and (2.) to investigate into the nature of Site-43's outage.3 The Wing's backup generator was brought online for a short time by Site-43 personnel. Three hours after the electrical outage on Wing-B, three individuals wearing clown masks were found nearing SCP-3036's containment cell. Security personnel were dispatched to deal with the potential threat, but were terminated by physical assault. Security footage suggests individuals were Level III Red humanoids.4 Following this discovery, Wing-B was put on lockdown by Site-Director [REDACTED] in order to avoid further entry into Site-43 and to stop the individuals from escaping Site-43. Requests for reinforcements were answered by Site-44 and Site-22 with Mobile Task Forces Beta-22 ("The Whistleblowers") and Beta-11 ("Sane Clown Posse"). Security personnel were ordered to eliminate the three individuals attempting to enter SCP-3036's cell. After 30 minutes of close quarters combat, one individual was able to enter SCP-3036's cell while the other two were combating Foundation security forces. The following was recorded inside of SCP-3036's cell. SCP-3036: Heh, Fuller really let his standards slide these days, hehe. <Muffled talking> SCP-3036: I expected this behavior from the others. But you, Masky, you really let yourself go, didn't you? <Muffled talking> SCP-3036: Oh, the bitch has claws, doesn't he? But, anyways, I know you're gonna kill me. But that shouldn't stop us from having fun — <SCP-3036 punches the unknown individual out of the room.> SCP-3036: — right? Based off of camera footage and testimony from surviving personnel, SCP-3036 proceeded to attack the unknown individual, which ended in both it and the three individuals sustaining significant damage. Following an additional 30 minutes of fighting and the arrival of MTF-Beta-22 and MTF-Beta-11, the three individuals retreated through an anomalous doorway. SCP-3036 willingly came into Foundation custody. It had lost ~55% of its body mass, including both its arms by the end of the fight.5 Post-Incident Interview Excerpt Interviewer: Dr. Henderson Subject: SCP-3036 <Begin Log> Dr. Henderson: Why did you let yourself be captured by the Foundation? SCP-3036: You fucks were the only thing keeping me alive back there. You think I could have taken those guys by myself? Ha! You did a number on them. Mostly, you guys don't even see them coming, but thanks to a mysterious benefactor, you told those fuckers to go fuck themselves. I'd be dead if it weren't for you guys. Increased security measures are being suggested for SCP-3036 and other similar anomalies connected to GoI-233. Footnotes 1. See Interview Log below. 2. It should be noted that Site-43's B-Wing has separate power sources from the rest of the Site as a whole due to its nature as a humanoid containment wing. 3. It should be noted that this was two months after the initial interview with SCP-3036, and personnel were prepared for a possible attack by members of GoI-233. 4. Humanoids capable of Limited Regeneration. Footage suggests advanced regeneration capabilities. See Document-PHYSICS-222 for more information. 5. SCP-3036 regenerated both arms three days after the initial incident. « SCP-3035 | SCP-3036 | SCP-3037 » ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3036" by Zer0Ne0phyte, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3037 | safe | SCP-3037 prior to containment. Item #: SCP-3037 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3037 is to be kept in a standard Safe class storage locker at Site-19. When it is being transported, personnel are not to hold it in their hands; rather, it may be slid onto a wheeled cart and pushed to its destination. SCP-3037-A instances created for testing are to be terminated at the conclusion of each test. Additionally, no more than one instance of SCP-3037-A is to exist at any given time. In the event that multiple instances are created, all of them are to be terminated. Description: SCP-3037 is a miniature model of the walled city of Dubrovnik, Croatia. Its base is an irregular octagon that resembles a square measuring 9 centimeters on each edge, and it is composed of plaster and painted with acrylic. Persons who hold SCP-30371 are designated instances of SCP-3037-A. Instances of SCP-3037-A believe themselves to actually be the city of Dubrovnik, and speak exclusively in Serbo-Croatian. Amnestic treatment has thus far proven ineffective in reversing these effects. SCP-3037-A instances have also exhibited anomalous physical changes corresponding to current events in the city of Dubrovnik. Any damage sustained by the city causes corresponding bodily harm to instances of SCP-3037-A, which cannot heal unless the city of Dubrovnik is also repaired. A notable example of this was observed in December of 19912 (see Incident Log 3037-Alpha). Testing has shown that this relationship is not reciprocal. Instances of SCP-3037-A may be harmed without causing corresponding damage to the real city of Dubrovnik. Instances of SCP-3037-A believe themselves to be parents of SCP-3037 itself. As such, they are reluctant to put it down or expose it to harm; if they are forced to give up SCP-3037 or it appears to be damaged, they show reactions consistent with those of parents whose children have been harmed. Multiple concurrent instances of SCP-3037-A may exist at any given time, and appear willing to put down SCP-3037 only if they are handing it over to another instance. Even when these instances are aware of each other's existence, they do not show signs of distress. If, for example, there are ten SCP-3037-A instances in existence, they claim that there exist eleven copies3 of the city of Dubrovnik, all of which are parents of SCP-3037. + Recovery Log - Recovery Log In the summer of 1988, Dr. V████████, a researcher at Site-19, began exhibiting a streak of absenteeism. Investigation of his home by Foundation agents found that he had been at home the entire time, and had been affected by the object that was later designated SCP-3037. Further investigation found that Dr. V████████ had never been to Dubrovnik, and had bought SCP-3037 at a local art exhibition. The object was originally wrapped and boxed, and he did not directly hold it until removing it from the box in his home. The company organizing the art exhibition had no records of a vendor selling art inspired by Yugoslavia or the Dalmatian Coast region. Because payment for the object was made in cash, the identity of the artist is unknown. The exact nature of SCP-3037's anomalous properties was determined during recovery, as a Foundation agent handled the object after bringing the first SCP-3037-A instance (formerly Dr. V████████) into containment. This agent, in turn, became an SCP-3037-A instance. Containment was established when both SCP-3037-A instances were tranquilized and the object was handled with tongs to be placed into its current Safe class storage locker. + Interview Log 3037-Alpha - Interview Log 3037-Aleph Interviewer: Dr. C█████, a researcher at Site-19 Subject: An instance of SCP-3037-A, formerly Dr. V████████. At the time of the interview, there were six instances of SCP-3037-A. The contents of this log have been translated into English from Serbo-Croatian. Extraneous data have been redacted. [BEGIN LOG 14/07/1988 11:15:07] Dr. C█████: How are you feeling today? SCP-3037-A: The same as usual. Rocky, ancient, humid, warm today. Dr. C█████: And SCP-3037? SCP-3037-A: My daughter? She is doing well, but please be quiet, she is sleeping. Dr. C█████: Of course. I would like to confirm some of your previous statements. You are the ancient walled city of Dubrovnik, correct? SCP-3037-A: Correct. One of seven Dubrovniks. Dr. C█████: Can you tell me how an entire city has arms and legs, or fits inside this one room? SCP-3037-A: That is simply what cities do. Cities have arms and legs, a whole body. And they fit inside rooms. I am not sure what it is you are asking. Dr. C█████: Could you please define "city" for me? SCP-3037-A: A place where many people live, made of buildings, stone, maybe wood. It has a body that can fit inside a room, and it is composed of several neighborhoods. There are seven of the city of Dubrovnik. Dr. C█████: And how does an entire city have a daughter? SCP-3037-A: Doctor, I hope you will excuse my modesty. I do not want to answer that question. Dr. C█████: I am a scientist, you will not disgust me. SCP-3037-A: Fine. A city… is made of marble, is it not? Dr. C█████: Some cities are. SCP-3037-A: My daughter was, well, carved from my marble. It is quite simple, really. She will make an excellent city herself one day. Dr. C█████: Thank you, I have no more questions for today. [END LOG 14/07/1988 11:18:14] Note: Chemical analysis of SCP-3037 consistently indicates that it is not made of marble. + Incident Log 3037-Alpha: Siege of Dubrovnik - Incident Log 3037-Alpha: Siege of Dubrovnik Beginning in October of 1991, the Yugoslav People's Army besieged the real city of Dubrovnik. At the time, the Foundation had fifteen instances of SCP-3037-A in custody. During the siege, each of these instances reported some difficulty in eating, and minor lacerations manifested at times corresponding to actual attacks on the city of Dubrovnik. The bombardment of the Old Town of Dubrovnik reached its peak on 06/12/1991. At almost exactly 06:00:00 Central European Time, during this bombardment, all fifteen instances of SCP-3037-A exploded in succession, roughly one second apart. The order in which they exploded was observed to correspond to the order in which they were created. The first instance of SCP-3037-A exploded with relatively little force, but each successive explosion was increasingly powerful. The last instance exploded with force equivalent to roughly one ton of TNT, breaching several containment chambers at Site-19 and resulting in the loss of █ personnel. It is hypothesized that instances of SCP-3037-A have an anomalous connection not only with the real city of Dubrovnik, but also with each other. Therefore, the second instance of SCP-3037-A was not only damaged by the shelling of Dubrovnik, but also by the explosion of the first instance, and so on. In this way, the explosive force of the first instance of SCP-3037-A was multiplied by 214 by the time the fifteenth instance exploded. Due to this incident, it is now prohibited for more than one instance of SCP-3037-A to exist at any given time. Footnotes 1.

SCP-3038 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3038 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3038 is situated on the wall of Warehouse 52 ███████,██████ Scotland. A 10m2 reinforced glass antechamber surrounds the object, accessible only by key card, and remains under constant surveillance. A perimeter has been established around Warehouse 52 manned by security personnel at all times. No internet enabled devices are permitted beyond the perimeter. All requests and reports regarding SCP-3038 must be handwritten and delivered via specially assigned couriers. No other form of submission will be accepted. Research personnel must be psychologically assessed at least once a month, with any signs of mental deterioration detailed, and low evaluation scores resulting in immediate reassignment. Description: SCP-3038 is a white, wooden door. It has an ornate Victorian brass door knob and a large key hole through which light cannot penetrate. It is unknown whether it opens inwards or outwards, if at all. Individuals report a sense of discomfort when within 5 meters of SCP-3038. When in operation, all companies utilising Warehouse 52 declared bankruptcy within three years, each one claiming staff shortages. When investigated, SCP-3038 stood out as being out of place. The object does not appear on any warehouse floor plans, and while connected to an external wall, it can not be located anywhere from the building exterior. There is no record of anyone opening SCP-3038, even when clearance is given. Currently, little is understood about SCP-3038, and in general progress has been unsatisfactory. While frequent, reports are often inconsistent, repetitive, and difficult to verify. Numerous experiment proposals have been granted. However, subsequent reports only contained further proposals. These proposals often stressed a need for more materials and D-class personnel in a tone implying that the initial experiment was never carried out. A number of hypotheses have been collated from all submitted reports. Each outlines a possible attribute of SCP-3038. See Addendum 3038.1 + Addendum 3038.1: Assembled Data - Addendum 3038.1: Assembled Data The following hypotheses, denoted by prefix "Hy-", have only circumstantial evidence to support them. They are therefore officially considered as neither fact nor proven false. Hy-Breakdown SCP-3038 has a permeating effect on the human psyche, brought on by prolonged exposure to the immediate surroundings of the object. Symptoms include but are not limited to memory loss, disorientation, obsessive behaviour, and erratic tendencies. :- Evidence includes psychology reports. There is ongoing debate as to whether SCP-3038 directly induces mental breakdown, or if this is a by-product of other properties. Researchers are required to maintain a personal written account of their experiences to aid in psychological assessment. Hy-Dopel SCP-3038 is capable of spawning exact duplicates of individuals following direct contact. The nature of these duplicates remains unknown, with their whereabouts unverified. :- Evidence includes surveillance data and personal testimony. Such entities have yet to be encountered by security personnel. Hy-Invasion SCP-3038 is a gateway for entities of unknown size, shape, and corporeality, referred to hereafter as SCP-3038-1. These entities are thought to be responsible for a number of disturbances including shifting of furniture, disruption of archival material, and tampering of recording equipment. There are also accounts of the antechamber being found unlocked without explanation. :- Evidence is limited to personal testimony. Neither Security personnel nor surveillance data has confirmed the existence of such entities. NOTE: Despite many requests for Keter reclassification of SCP-3038, the lack of evidence verifying any details regarding SCP-3038-1 means that such requests are invariably denied. Hy-Synthesis SCP-3038 is capable of synthesising self-referential documents, both written and digital. Possibly the most concerning hypothesis as this may include any of the documents pertaining to SCP-3038 including requests, official reports, and personal accounts. If confirmed, this may explain the many inconsistencies and repetitions within the documents received so far. Of greater concern is that SCP-3038 may have synthesised a number of personnel files on the Foundation database. Such files are indistinguishable from authentic files, but when colleagues, friends, and family referenced therein are interviewed, they show no recognition for the subject mentioned, and are often confused and distressed by the questioning. Plans to perform database-wide searches for all synthetic personnel files are currently pending approval. :- Evidence includes personal testimony and independent research. It is unknown how SCP-3038 may have gained access to Foundation databases. As a precaution all internet enabled devices are banned within and around Warehouse 52. Activity from SCP-3038-1 cannot be ruled out as a cause. + Addendum 3038.2: Personal Account Excerpts - Addendum 3038.2: Personal Account Excerpts Foreword: What follows is a series of journal entries written by Dr. O’Neil. His personal account while examining SCP-3038 remains one of the few primary sources obtained from Warehouse 52 that can be verified as authentic. Excerpt 001 I’m worried about Dr. Patel. He’s been getting worse for a while now, but the last few weeks has really put things into focus. I’m still quite shocked by the depths of his fall. Dr Patel is, or at least was a world leader in trans-dimensional mechanics. When I first arrived, I admit I was a bit star struck to learn I was working under such a scientific giant. I don’t think anything back then indicated what would happen. While always formal, he was analytical, cautious, and very understanding. He seemed to take a liking to me when we were first introduced. I thought perhaps he recognised my name from my thesis. We got to work within the first few weeks, mostly recording electromagnetic interference and such other measurements, but really we were waiting until our first arrival of D-class so we could finally see what was behind that door. But for whatever reason, they never arrived. It all came to a head following the wire experiment. The idea was to get some plumber’s wire and feed it through the keyhole to get a better idea of what lay behind it, except we couldn’t find any wire at all. Dr. Bard was certain she had ordered in a whole spool of the stuff, and the store log confirmed the order, but it simply wasn’t there. Thinking back, I don’t think any of us recall whether the delivery had even arrived. Dr. Patel was struggling to maintain his composure but managed long enough to walk away at least. Which brings me to yesterday. Before I left for the night, I saw Dr. Patel standing in the antechamber, I called out to him but he didn’t seem to hear me and instead walked slowly towards the door. I caught him moments before he reached the handle and pulled him back. He was screaming and fighting, attracting the attention of Dr. Lu and Dr. Bard. It took all three of us to subdue the man who lay on the ground in utter hysterics, flailing his arms around wildly, giving Dr. Bard a bloody nose in the process. After he calmed down, he spoke to me candidly. He was due for psychoanalysis in a few days, and was certain he wouldn’t be cleared to return. He spoke about how he was first researcher assigned to SCP-3038 ██ years ago, and initially he was working alone with very little support from the Foundation. Since then, nothing has progressed, and Foundation support has only been decreasing. He punched the table and screamed profanities about the Foundation, the likes of which I don’t feel comfortable committing to paper. After that, he broke down into tears, calling himself a failure; that today was his last chance to finally know… something, he became difficult to understand, but the whole thing was horrifying to watch. I never thought I’d see a man as great as he in such a state of utter anguish, he was like a completely different person. I sincerely hope he gets some time away from this dreary place. Excerpt 002 Today I found myself standing in the antechamber with no clue as to why I was there. Entering the antechamber is always a surreal experience. The first time, I felt a strange sense of foreboding as I got close to the door. That’s the antechamber door rather than the door door, the SCP door. Getting near the door door was something else entirely. I could feel pressure in the back of my neck, and as I got closer I felt all the teeth in my mouth vibrate. Dr. Bard assured me that this sort of thing is pretty normal and isn’t dangerous, though I’m not so sure. These days I’d often hear a low pitched rumble or murmur, but I assumed that was normal too so I didn’t question it. This recent event was new, however. I could remember opening the antechamber door, and stepping in, but I was out of breath and could feel a sense of panic in my lungs, and as I stared at the door ahead of me… I just couldn’t figure out what I was doing here. The only thing in my hands was the card key. Dr. Bard put it down to overworking. She told me she’s had many experiences like this, and that I should not think too hard on it. But it didn’t sit right with me. I thought the cameras might have captured something, so I spoke with Andy. The software for managing the video and audio stuff is a nightmare to work with, utterly inadequate, incredibly prone to slowdown and freezing, heck, there isn’t even a live feed option. Andy just knows how to work it. I’m not sure what I’d do without him; but even with his help, it’s still a monotonous slog of a task. After a few hours, he found something. Moments before I entered the antechamber, there was a figure standing right there in the middle of the room, they slowly walked right up to the door, paused, and looked directly at the camera, at us. Playback stuttered for several seconds, and when it was restored, the figure was gone. Excited, we showed the others. Dr. Bard was convinced this was proof of entities on the other side of the door. We immediately sent out a request for D-class to attempt communication with them. Perhaps now we have some proof the Foundation will be a bit more willing to grant our request. Excerpt 003 The psych session did not go well. They were not happy when I said that all of us had begun sleeping in the warehouse. I tried to explain it was the only way to make sure we didn’t miss anything. But it was like arguing with a rock. Psychologists aren’t real scientists, they wouldn’t understand how essential it is to be there, to catch this sort of thing in its essence. While waiting for the Foundation to get back to us, I’ve been helping Dr. Lu sort through the archived files. Well, they’re not so much files as a couple shelves worth of disorganised mess piled on top of itself, but it still needs to be gone through all the same. She’s been mainly focusing on sorting the real documents, that is, the ones we know were written by real people, from the synthetic ones. Dr. Lu has a system where she divides synthetic documents into two categories. The first are the “Pure synthetic”, authored by completely synthetic sources. The second are the “Templated synthetic” which copy the style and substance of real documents. To illustrate, she showed me two journals, the first her own, the second a templated synthetic. The handwriting was identical between them, but the synthetic one kept making references to a “Dr. Sun” who, by this account, was heavily involved in Dr. Lu’s work prior to my arrival. There wasn’t anything about a Dr. Sun in the brief I was given, and Dr. Lu was certain no one named Dr. Sun had any involvement with SCP-3038 at any point. She pulled a number of Pure synthetics from table and sure enough, this Dr. Sun character was a frequent presence in all of them. I asked her where she found this templated synthetic journal. Eventually she pointed somewhere on the shelf, saying that there were a lot of synthetics in the pile. I’ve yet to find any journals with my handwriting, but that might be because I never put this journal down. It’s always either in my pocket or in my hand. Excerpt 004 I woke with a start last night to a loud slamming sound. I went over to investigate and found the antechamber door wide open. I raised the alarm and security came in to search the area while the three of us waited for the all clear. This took a lot longer than it should have however. They said they wanted to know where the “others” were. Apparently their register had a total of 7 names signed in. We examined the list and noticed several problems with it. For one, Dr. Sun’s name was listed close to the top, for another, my own name, Dr. O’Neil, was listed twice with different initials. Dr. Bard took one look at the rest of it and scoffed, she had not heard of any of these people, and she’s been here the longest out of all of us. The register was clearly a fake, perhaps even an example of incomplete template synthesis. When pressed, not even the security guards could really say they knew who these other names were or even recalled them ever signing in. We asked for details on where they kept the list, but they refused to tell us. In the end, security was unable to find anything. Despite this Dr. Bard was convinced we had a containment breach, as was I. Dr. Lu may be less certain, citing something she read in the archive, but how else do you explain an open cell? While Dr. Bard wrote out an incident report, I took a look at the footage, but stopped when I saw what was on the screen. Two figures, one standing stock still in the middle of the room with a turban on their head. Walking to their side was someone that looked like…me? It was me, or at least, it looked like me. I, or it, was holding what appeared to be a long metal wire, but I don’t remember this moment, no, this couldn’t have been me, this never happened. Was this another kind of synthetic? Excerpt 005 I found Dr. Lu making a very elaborate diagram. She said she had discovered something in the archives, that it made something click in her mind and that we all had to read it. Dr. Bard brushed it off but I humoured her. After what happened, I welcomed the distraction. It was another synthetic journal, most likely Pure. The tell-tale Dr. Sun made an appearance, but there was something about the entries that made it more…difficult to dismiss? The events they wrote were startlingly similar to our own, from requests to D-class being ignored to the strange ‘Breach-like’ events. At a personal level, there was something about the writing that felt oddly familiar. I also noticed they had signed every entry with “-Mike”. As I re-read it, I noticed that Dr. Sun was mentioned frequently in the early entries, but after a certain point, all reference to them had stopped. I managed to pinpoint the exact entry they were last mentioned. ██████ ██/██/████. I knew there was something significant about this date, so I searched through our video records, and found something. Two humanoid figures were standing in the antechamber. One of them was the same figure in the turban I had seen before, the second one, however, looked strangely like me, but different. They were bald and had stubble, but their face looked so much like mine, almost like an inexact copy. They were joined by a third figure who I didn’t recognise at all. This tall figure looked like they were directing the actions of the other two, but then something happened, there was a dispute? It looked like a struggle was about to take place, but the camera froze before I could see what happened. I can’t express enough how frustrating this software is. I couldn’t even find the audio which accompanied the footage, making it really difficult to even guess as to what was going on. You’d think the Foundation would have the budget for less terrible equipment, or at the very least assign a technician to go through it for us, but no. I guess that shows how much contempt they really hold for us. Excerpt 006 There was another incident today. I’m not sure if I could call it a breach, but Dr. Bard certainly does. The area was in utter chaos. The archive was strewn across the floor, some of the books lay half open with piles of reports all over the place. Even stranger was the crazed writing on the wall. It almost looked like a conspiracy theorist’s whiteboard, but on glass. Most unnerving was the only sentence written backwards on the inside of the glass, as though it was specifically for us. It read “Remember The Lost”. Dr. Bard looked just as on edge as I felt. She began hurriedly writing a number of requests for extra security personnel for the inside of the building. The cameras were useless, all either misaligned or out of focus, probably tampered with by whatever did all this. Perhaps it was still here with us, watching us from the shadows… I don’t care what security says, just because they couldn’t find anything doesn’t mean there’s nothing to find. The worst part is that the antechamber door was left untouched, and something wrote on both sides of the glass. I thought about the thing that looked like me from the video… Did that have something to do with this? Excerpt 007 I’m worried about Dr. Bard. She has taken to walking around the facility with a knife. I tried to bring up what I saw in the video with her, thinking it could give her something different to focus on, but now I think that was a mistake. She started looking at me strangely and demanded to know why I only just now informed her. As she got closer, the knife in her hand flashed my eyes and I started to back away. She must have seen how terrified I was because she calmed down and apologised. I decided not to write an incident report for the behaviour. She was at breaking point after all. We both were. It must have been the letter from the Foundation that pushed her over, I know it pissed me off when I read it. They said they were denying our requests for enhanced security, that we had exceeded our request allowance for D-class personnel, and then generally complained about our lack of progress overall. I still can’t believe it. They never sent us any D-class and have barely supported us as it is! What the hell do they expect from us? Do those bastards even read the reports we send them? Excerpt 008 Dr. Connor O’Neil’s log, Date: ██/██/████ Major events: I found myself in the antechamber opposite SCP-3038, a trail of blood leading from the centre of the room towards the object. A knife discarded by the entrance with blood clearly dripping from the blade. However, I myself only sustained mild non-life threatening injuries. Comments: I have trouble recalling what happened moments before this event. I have slight memories of screaming, a woman’s voice, a struggle, but nothing more. The noise from SCP-3038 has changed, amongst the murmur there was also a high pitched cry. The longer I listened the louder these noises become until it all resembled white noise. Security personnel brought me out of the antechamber and towards an on-site medical bay, where I write this now. End log. Excerpt 009 I have been advised by the psychologist to write out everything that that’s going through my head. The first thing they asked me was “How do you feel?” Probably the single most useless question you could ask anyone. Isn’t it your job to already know how I feel? How would you feel if you just spent eight months cooped up in a warehouse working on a research project with no support, and no one but a few guards around for company!? Here’s how I feel. I feel like you’re a complete idiot! And what the hell was the point of this log book anyway if it’s not an official report? Is it just for you psych people to peek into our lives? I’ve, just read through this log book and… it’s not actually a log book at all. It’s a journal? This doesn’t make any sense… there weren’t any other researchers in that warehouse, only me. But it did have very accurate details, I remember the reports, the refused requests, the breaches and the videos. All of that happened, but I was alone. I mean who the heck is Dr. Patel!? This book reads like one of those synthetic journals from the archives. Perhaps I picked it up by mistake? But the writing, it’s undeniably mine. When I trace the letters with a pen I can even remember writing them, but the content feels so synthetic. I know I wrote these entries. But they’re not real? What about this, the words I’m writing now? They are real, they must be. This is Real, This is REAL. But the moment I stop writing, will it still be real? Will it become synthetic? Another template? Was there another me out there who remembers these events? Are my memories synthetic? No, as I write I prove I am real. I know that. My name is Connor O’Neil Neil O’Connor, Connor O’Neil. Which one was it? When did my name feel so distant? Are neither real? But I know that I am real, I am not synthetic. I know that. I know… I just know. End of excerpts Comments: In light of these accounts, the special containment procedure of SCP-3038 is currently under review. All personnel assigned to SCP-3038 must be alert for any and all pending updates. + Addendum 3038.3: Supporting Footage - Addendum 3038.3: Supporting Footage Foreword: Following reception of Dr. O’Neil’s personal account, the visual and audio data acquired in Warehouse 52 has been analysed for corroborating evidence. What follows is a transcript of the video with synced up audio depicting that described in Addendum 3038.2-E-005. <Begin Video> Camera is centred on the door of the antechamber, through the glass two figures are seen walking towards the door, opening it, and stepping inside. On the left is a male of Indian descent wearing a turban, referred to here as Subject 1. On the right is a male Caucasian with a bald head and short beard, referred to here as Subject 2. Subject 1: With hope, this time we should get some answers Dr. O’Neil. Subject 2: Yes, and please, must we be so formal? You can call me Mike. Subject 1: I prefer to remain as professional as possible while working, and encourage all my staff to do so, if you don’t mind Dr. O’Neil. Subject 2: No… of course Dr. Patel. I apologise. Subject 1: Now then, let us begin. The visual changes to a different camera, the perspective is now looking straight at SCP-3038 while both Subject 1 and 2 approach holding a large spool of wire. Subject 1: I want you to feed this through the keyhole. We’ll make a mark along the wire if we hit something. Subject 2: Seems a bit basic, wouldn’t this have been tried by now, Dr. Patel? Subject 1: I thought so too. Subject 2 takes the wire and starts to push it through the keyhole of SCP-3038. As it enters, interference appears on both video and audio feeds, presenting in static around the corners of the video, and crackling in the recording. Subject 2 does not stop feeding the wire through. Subject 1: How is it going. Subject 2: Nothing yet, it’s like it’s just falling into a void. Subject 1: That in itself could be very interesting. The Antechamber door is heard opening, another male, tall, East Asian, referred to here as Subject 3, enters the frame. Subject 1: Good evening Dr. Sun. Subject 3: Evening. Subject 1: We are currently carrying out the wire test as discussed. Subject 3: Finally. This test has been a long time coming. Dr. O’Neil is it? Subject 2: Yes, good evening Dr. Sun. Subject 3: I hear congratulations are in order. Subject 2: They are? Subject 3: Well, it’s not very often that family members are accepted into the Foundation, and in the same field as yourself, you must be proud. Subject 2: Yes, thank you Dr. Sun. Subject 2 continues to feed the wire through until he is almost at the end. Subject 1: Ok Dr. O’Neil, that’s enough, bring it back. Subject 2 begins to pull the wire but it resists. Subject 2: It’s stuck… Subject 1: Stuck? Did you hit something? Subject 2: I don’t know. It’s like something is pulling on it. Subject 1 moves to help Subject 2 in pulling the wire out from SCP-3038. They lose their grip and the wire disappears into the keyhole. The static and crackling intensifies as this happens, the video freezes for a couple of frames. When restored, Subject 2 is seen on the floor. Subject 3: What are you doing down there? Subject 2: I… I don’t know. I must have fallen. Subject 3: Well get up, this is no time for a lie-down. Subject 2: Sorry Dr. Sun, of course. Subject 2 gets to their feet while Subject 3 addresses Subject 1 Subject 3: And where’s the wire? Subject 1: I asked Dr. O’Neil here to retrieve it. Subject 3: And? Subject 2: I… well Subject 3: Well? Where is it? Subject 2: I must have forgotten it. Subject 3: Forgotten it!? Then go get it! Now! Subject 2: I’m sorry Dr. Sun. Subject 2 hastily runs out of the room. Subject’s 1 and 3 do not act until Subject 2 returns. Subject 2: It’s uh… It’s not here, Dr. Sun. Subject 3: Dr. Patel! I thought you said a new supply had arrived. Subject 1: I thought it did… but I can’t remember seeing it. Subject 2: Neither I. And I just checked, it’s not where it would be if it was. Subject 3: So what are the two of you doing here then!? Subject 1: I… uh… hmm. Subject 3 becomes noticeably more angered by the lack of response from the other two subjects. Subject 3: Dr. O’Neil. Step in front of the object. Subject 2: What? Subject 3: That’s an order. Step in front of the object. We are going to find out what is behind this thing once and for all. Subject 1: Dr. Sun, with all due respect, you cannot order your staff like this. Subject 3: Do you challenge my authority Dr. Patel? Subject 1: I challenge nothing; merely remind you that this kind of test are why we have D-Class subjects. Subject 3: And where are they then? Show these D-Class subjects to me. How many times have we made requests for D-Class only to be ignored? I’m tired of waiting Dr. Patel, I’m tired of admin breathing down my neck on our lack of results. We’re sorting this out today. Dr. O’Neil, proceed. Subject 1: You don’t have to do this. Subject 3: Proceed! The room is silent for a moment with neither subject making any movement. Subject 3: Fine! If you won’t, I’ll just do it myself. Subject 1: Dr. Sun, you can’t! Subject 3: Let go of me! Subject 1 grabs on to Subject 3 while Subject 2 attempts to get close to Subject 3. Subject 3 breaks free of Subject 1’s grasp, walks towards SCP-3038 and reaches for the handle as Subject 1 reaches out to prevent them. The video freezes for about 15 seconds, during which time nothing but static plays on the audio. Once the video restores, only Subject 1 and 2 are visible. SCP-3038 seems to remain untouched. Subject 2: Dr. Patel? What are you doing? Subject 1 looks at their outstretched hands Subject 1: I… must have been trying to measure SCP-3038 Subject 2: Measure it? But we have none of our tools here. Subject 1 looks around Subject 1: That appears to be so… Did you not bring anything? Subject 2: I didn’t… I suppose I thought you would bring them? Subject 1: I see… we must have forgotten. Both Subject 1 and 2 are seen walking away from SCP-3038. Subject 1: Make a note, if this becomes a recurring phenomenon, it might be an effect of close proximity to SCP-3038 Subject 2: Yes Dr. Patel. Subject 1: By the way, I heard somewhere that congratulations are in order. Subject 2: Why is that? Subject 1: I’m not too sure… something to do with family I think. The sound of the antechamber door is heard opening and closing off-screen. The antechamber falls to silence. <End of video> ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3038" by Saikoujikan, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3039 | safe | Item #: SCP-3039 Special Containment Procedures: Any copies of SCP-3039 are kept in a sealed, opaque storage locker at Site-39. Newly discovered instances are to be retrieved by agents who have been immunized to SCP-3039’s effect. Affected civilians are to read an instance of SCP-3039 to completion before amnestization in order to assure both removal and immunization to SCP-3039's effect. Description: SCP-3039 is a set of 34 contained instances of a paperback novel, titled An Antiquated Guide to Avoiding Writer’s Block. There is a high possibility of thousands more instances currently uncontained. The author, R. Sebastian, designated PoI-2665, has authored several other anomalies; attempts to track and capture this person are ongoing. The contents of the object are suspected to be highly saturated with infohazards, due to the nature of the object. themselves non-anomalous. The cover features a cognitohazardous image of a nondescript, grey rectangular prism. Upon viewing the image, any exposed parties will be affected by the manifestation of SCP-3039-1. SCP-3039-1 are rectangular prisms identical to the one depicted by SCP-3039’s cover. Instances of SCP-3039-1 appear whenever an afflicted party (the subject) attempts to record data in any physical fashion. The objects consistently manifest in a location that disallows the subject from recording said information, appearing covering a keyboard when attempting to type or obscuring a paper when attempting to write. Once manifested, SCP-3039-1 are unable to be shifted or damaged, and only dematerialize once the subject ceases attempts to record. Once a subject is under SCP-3039’s effect, no method of removing the effect has proven effective at removing it. See Experiment Log 3039. Sustained interaction with SCP-3039-1 has proven deleterious to mental health, causing intense enmity and irrationality in subjects. This is theorized to be an additional effect of SCP-3039-1, and not human reaction to the anomaly, due to the extreme shifts in the typical composure of several test subjects. During the first retrieval, 22 personnel were affected by the object before its effects were fully comprehended. Experiment Log 3039 Close Experiment Log 3039 Listed are several notable experiments. For the full log, see Document 3039.6. Experiment 1: Procedure: Agent Coffey is amnesticized for the past 24 hours. Result: Agent loses all knowledge of past 24 hours. SCP-3039-1 continue to manifest. Researcher Notes: Evidently SCP-3039-1 aren't triggered by memory of their appearance. -Researcher Florence Note: Researcher Teals, one of the first afflicted personnel, has volunteered to join research team. Due to his training with cognitohazards, personal investment, and low value of risk involved, he will be the primary test subject for the foreseeable future. -Researcher Florence Experiment 15: Procedure: Subject exposed to a cognitohazard created specifically in an attempt to nullify SCP-3039. Result: SCP-3039-1 continue to manifest. Researcher Notes: The results of this experiment and of past experiments appear to show that the effect of SCP-3039 is unable to be removed. In accordance with this school of thought, in order to reassume partial value to affected Foundation assets, the experimentation will focus on circumventing instances of SCP-3039-1 rather than complete neutralization. -Researcher Florence Experiment 21: Procedure: Subject attempts to write upon paper. After initial manifestation, the subject shifts the paper and attempts to write upon it once again Result: SCP-3039-1 manifest initially as expected. When the object is shifted, the instance remains suspended and does not demanifest. The subject attempted to write again, at this point, a new instance of SCP-3039-1 manifested. This effect continued for each shift until the subject ceased attempts to record, at which all instances dematerialized. Researcher Notes: It’s almost mocking, no? Testing for sentience is under consideration. -Researcher Florence Experiment 29: Procedure: Subject attempts to film himself in order to log experiments without assistance. Result: SCP-3039-1 do not manifest initially. However, upon viewing the recording, SCP-3039-1 obscures view of the subject, and the audio track is replaced with silence. Notably, a recording logged incidentally by the subject, without intent to store information, was free of any changes. Researcher Notes: It appears intent is the main proponent of SCP-3039-1 manifestation. While it is assumed that SCP-3039-1 will manifest even with external intent as the driving force, this property will be further tested. -Researcher Florence Experiment 37: Procedure: Subject attempts to call Researcher Florence on provided phone in order to report the results of several previous experiments. Result: Subject is unable to transmit any audio to Researcher Florence. However, Researcher Florence is able to relay audio to the subject without issue. Researcher Notes: Even relay of information to other people is restricted. However, the subject was not prevented from dialing the number or from talking. With the crux of intent in mind, this experiment will be modified slightly and subsequently tested. -Researcher Florence Experiment 38: Procedure: Subject attempts to call Researcher Florence on provided phone and speak a string of random words followed by information on previous experiments. Result: Subject said, "Donkey, watermelon, crime, horse, battery." This portion of the audio was successfully transmitted. Upon switching content of the words spoken, no further audio was transmitted. Before the closing of the experiment, the subject repeated the previous word sequence. The audio was successfully transmitted. Researcher Notes: This further solidifies the idea of intent being the effect's basis, but shows that information containing no actual information is still able to communicated. -Researcher Florence Note: Researcher Teals has been showing signs of extreme anxiety since Experiment 38. While his varied attempts to circumvent SCP-3039-1 are commendable, and his current progress is far from nominal, I’m recommending that he be reassigned for a short period of time. -Researcher Florence Experiment 44: Procedure: Subject opens SCP-3039’s storage locker and inflicts significant damage to several instances with an axe while screaming counter cognitohazard, “[EXPLETIVE] you, you [EXPLETIVE], blocky [EXPLETIVE]. Let me [EXPLETIVE] write, you [EXPLETIVE]!” This course of action was unauthorized by necessary personnel. Result: SCP-3039-1 continue to manifest. Cursory checks were performed on other afflicted subjects, SCP-3039-1 continue to manifest. Possibility of additional effects added to SCP-3039-1’s description. Researcher Notes: Researcher Teals has been reprimanded for unprofessionalism and has been taken off the SCP-3039 research team for 2 weeks. Reprimand aside, this incident shows the anomaly has no degree of sentience as previously theorized, and that the effect is only provoked under certain circumstances. -Researcher Florence Experiment 53: Procedure: Researcher suggests that initial qualms of further infohazards being contained within the object may be unfounded, and offered to test it as a last resort. Subject reads through the entirety of the SCP-3039. Result: SCP-3039 yields no information on dispelling its effects. However, upon further testing, manifestations of SCP-3039-1 no longer occur. Subsequent exposure to SCP-3039’s cover displays the subject is immune to further affliction. Researcher Notes: This feels so good to put into the written word. Thank you for [EXPUNGED], you [EXPLETIVE] bricks. -Researcher Teals Researcher Teals has been reprimanded for unprofessionalism. Transcript of SCP-3039 Close Transcript Listed are several excerpts from SCP-3039. Forward: I would like to thank and wish good luck to both the sorry sap who saw the cover and the Brother, for the inspiration to create. Page 1: Here begins a journey. A chapter in your life. Or thirty chapters. So. You think that reading this is gonna help you? I don't think that it will. Or do I? Does it matter? You’ll look through this book eventually. Might as well waste your time now than later. Here lies the story of the reader vs. the book. The writer vs. the block. The moron vs. the essence of futility. Etcetera. A battle of wills, a struggle for the ages! Nah. It's you reading a book that you're convinced will help with your… situation. Page 320: You little scamp. Already a third into the book. So confident and hopeful. Good. I like hope. It looks so glorious crushed into the ground. Not really, as it's not even a physical object, but I like to imagine that it does. Chaos is a beauty in spite of itself. Brother, does it look good. Keep reading to have your hopes nice and killed. Oops, did I mention something being killed? You won't be killed. Pinky promise. Page 756: You probably wanna know why reading this book hasn't killed you yet. Because you have to suffer and waste your time before you die, obviously. I kid. Or so I say. I planned to place encouragement to read more, maybe even an actual story, but an inspirational friend told me that good PR couldn't and wouldn't bring enough eyes to the page. That people like you wouldn't care unless something caused a ruckus. And death wouldn't cause a ruckus, cause you’d be dead, right? Seems odd that I’m telling you this. Huh. Maybe I’m making all this up to get you to finish this book. You’re almost done with this thing, quitting now would be foolish, right? Or is quitting while you're ahead (and not dead, for rhyming’s sake) the better option? Page 975: Here’s the penultimate stop on the train. You’ve almost done it! But what will completing this thing do? I’ve told you that it’ll do nothing for you. Then I told you that I wanted you to read the book. Which one is the truth? Is either one the truth? What if kills you? What if it cures you? What if what I said first was true and it does nothing? Are you fucking brave enough to find out? Page 976: Oh look. It’s the end of the journey. The final page. Look. I’ve said some things I regret. I lied. I don't regret it. The Brother has another read, and I have a bigger wallet. You? You’ve wasted several hours of your time. You’ve been mocked and ridiculed for 976 pages. Go ahead. Tell your friends. The magical book that made you read it to stop the blocks from manifesting. You don't have proof though! No picture, no video, no writing. They’ll think you’re insane! So show them. Prove that you aren't insane. Or is it insane that you might force your friend through your experience? Or will you go insane from not telling anyone? Moral dilemma, right? During rehabilitation from a civilian outbreak, one civilian attempted to read the last page of SCP-3039 first. Upon further testing, not reading every page of the anomaly to completion results in the same occurrence. Page 976: Sorry. The cure is not in this page. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3039" by TheLordSavant, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-3039.

SCP-3040 | euclid | Image still taken from Experiment 14. Item #: SCP-3040 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3040-1 is to be contained in a standard humanoid containment unit. SCP-3040-1 may file for additional furniture items, which are to be reviewed and approved by site personnel. SCP-3040-1 is allowed to move around Site-███ as it pleases, as long as it is accompanied by two Level-2 personnel at all times. SCP-3040-1 is no longer granted wandering privileges. Any requests for SCP-3040 to be amputated are to be ignored by all Foundation personnel. Only objects larger than 20 cm3 are allowed to enter SCP-3040-1's containment unit, in order to prevent the anomalous properties of SCP-3040 from manifesting. This protocol may be suspended for research purposes only. When allowed to roam the Facility, SCP-3040-1 must be presented with an item1 to hold with SCP-3040. Refusal to do so will result in a suspension of her roaming permission. If SCP-3040-1 must leave its containment cell, a 10 cm3 wooden cube is to be held by SCP-3040. This cube cannot have writing or any methods of conveying information on it. Description: SCP-3040-1 refers to former Agent Sharlene Vangarre, who lost her left hand due to the failed capture of an anomaly in Incident ████-α SCP-3040 refers to the area where SCP-3040-1's left hand was. SCP-3040 is not visible on the electromagnetic spectrum, nor is it detectable by chemical means. SCP-3040-1 describes it as a "phantom limb," which it senses at all times despite nothing physically being present. It states it has full control over the limb, yet expresses that the limb causes constant discomfort at all times. SCP-3040's anomalous properties manifest once SCP-3040-1 attempts to grasp an object equal to or smaller than 20 cm3 with the missing hand. Upon doing so, the object will vanish entirely, and cannot be recovered unless SCP-3040-1 places the object in the precise location it occupied before, relative to the object's surroundings. No more than one object can be held at a time by SCP-3040. If asked to place a held object elsewhere, SCP-3040-1 will express distress and discomfort, claiming that it cannot release the object. Items that disappear appear in SCP-3040-A. SCP-3040-A is an extradimensional void of unknown volume only accessible by items "held" by SCP-3040. GPS devices do not work within SCP-3040-A, but electronic equipment does function within SCP-3040-A if running on an internal power source. SCP-3040-A is usually empty, however some objects have been observed within video footage. No object persists for more than a fraction of a second, and the Foundation has yet to interact with one of the objects within SCP-3040-A. All objects visible within SCP-3040-A were at one point placed within SCP-3040-A. It is theorized that SCP-3040-A is a localized time anomaly that can have no effect on the outside world, excluding the act of taking the object in. UPDATE: See Addendum 2-A for information on recently observed properties of SCP-3040-A. Addendum 1-A: Interviewed: SCP-3040-1, Foundation Agent that is the host of SCP-3040 Interviewer: Doctor May Nathans, medical doctor trained in treating amputees. Foreword: This interview was conducted with SCP-3040-1 after her recovery from the incident, and resulted in the discovery of SCP-3040. Doctor Nathans was assigned to SCP-3040-1 due to her training. <Begin Log, 12:58, 4/██/1█> Dr. Nathans: Hello Agent Vangarre. SCP-3040-1: …Hey. Dr. Nathans: How're you feeling? Any lingering pains? SCP-3040-1: Yeah. Still feels like I have my hand, but…I know it's not there. Dr. Nathans: I see. So you feel as if you're experiencing a phantom limb, of sorts? SCP-3040-1: Yes, doc. It's not there, I can't exactly feel an actual limb. Dr. Nathans audibly sighs, before speaking again. Dr. Nathans: Agent, there is no need to be so sarcastic. SCP-3040-1: Sorry. Just…kinda strained from literally losing a hand, y'know? Dr. Nathans: I understand. SCP-3040-1: Anyways, why’re you here? I already had a different doc assigned to me. Dr. Nathans: Well, after you reported discomfort stemming from your amputated limb, they referred me to check up on you. Are you sure everything is okay? SCP-3040-1: I'm fine, doc, really. Just some PLS, that's all. That's normal-ish, right? Dr. Nathans: It is, yes. But I need to make sure. Could you show me your arm, please? SCP-3040-1 complies, and lifts her left arm. Dr. Nathans examines it for a few seconds, noting the stump of flesh, and nods. Dr. Nathans: Everything seems fine visually. SCP-3040-1: Told you. Dr. Nathans: And it’s just a sort of ache where your hand used to be? SCP-3040-1: An ache, and I can still feel the hand, kinda. Like an afterimage I can move. That’s what PLS is like normally, right? Dr. Nathans: Some experience that, yes. Though it is curious how you’re experiencing this so soon after losing your hand… SCP-3040-1: Just my body being a bit weird, doc. Nothing big about it. Don’t worry. I just need to recover and I’ll be a-okay and ready for duty again. That mission was botched from the get-go when Duncan… SCP-3040-1 grumbles inaudibly for a few seconds, before Nathans clears her throat. Dr. Nathans: That doesn’t matter. Since you’re experiencing some form of PLS, I’ll be sure to refer you to therapy so you can get back on the job soon. SCP-3040-1: If they don’t let me go ‘cause of my missing hand. Dr. Nathans: It’s very possible you may retain your position. You are right handed, yes? SCP-3040-1: Yeah. I can still shoot with my right hand, and a simple prosthetic could give me support…I just worry, y’know? Especially for Duncan. Even though- Dr. Nathans: This meeting isn’t about Agent Banner. SCP-3040-1 sighs, and nods. Dr. Nathans: Now, do you have any questions before I go? SCP-3040-1: No, doc. I’m good. Well… Dr. Nathans: Well what? SCP-3040-1: I just…wanna try grabbing something. Just to prove to myself my hand isn’t there. Can you hand me that pen? Dr. Nathans: If you wish. Here. Dr. Nathans holds a small, ballpoint pen up, near where SCP-3040-1's hand would have been. A look of concentration crosses her face, before the pen disappears. Both are silent for a few moments, before the pen re-appears and SCP-3040-1 drops her arm. SCP-3040-1: W…what the hell? Dr. Nathans: …I need to report this. I'm sorry, Sharlene, but I have to. Closing Statement: SCP-3040-1 remained unresponsive until it was transferred to its containment unit. Its phantom limb was then classified as SCP-3040. Addendum 1-B: + Experimental logs - Access Granted Experiment 1 - 4/██/1█ Subject: A ballpoint pen Procedure: SCP-3040-1 was instructed to grasp the ballpoint pen with her missing hand. Results: The pen vanished from view once the pen was grasped. Chemical, visual, and physical analysis of the region where the pen had been indicated that the pen was not simply invisible, but no longer present. After the pen was placed down, it reappeared in the identical position and state it was in prior to being lifted. Analysis: "The pen disappeared in all ways. No chemical, physical, or electromagnetic detection was possible. Perhaps the object was teleported elsewhere?" - Dr. Klaus Experiment 2 - 4/██/1█ Subject: A ballpoint pen, with a small GPS tracker attached Procedure: SCP-3040-1 was instructed to grasp the ballpoint pen with her missing hand. Results: Once again, the pen disappeared, leaving no physical or chemical trace. Upon vanishing, the GPS signal immediately winked out. Once SCP-3040-1 released the pen, the GPS signal reappeared. Analysis: "The GPS tracker did not output a signal. Wherever the object is taken, it is either in a location outside of GPS reach, or simply not in this world at all." - Dr. Klaus Experiment 7 - 5/██/1█ Subject: A 20 cm3 block of wood, followed by a 15 cm3 block of wood, followed by a 10 cm3 block of wood. Procedure: SCP-3040-1 was instructed to grasp each block of wood sequentially. Results: All three blocks of wood disappeared. Analysis: "Upper limit is 20 cm3, it seems. Previous four tests corroborate that nothing larger than this size can be held. Useful information for future tests. Perhaps cameras can work when no longer visible?" - Dr. Klaus Experiment 8 - 5/██/1█ Subject: A small GoPro camera. Procedure: The camera was set to record, and SCP-3040-1 was instructed to grasp the camera for twenty seconds, then to place it down. Results: The camera disappeared, much like the previous objects, and appeared once again once SCP-3040-1 released it. The camera was fully functional afterwards. Please see Addendum 1-C for sustained footage. Analysis: "The location objects go to seems to be devoid of anything, aside from what was introduced before. Unsure if those are physical or incorporeal manifestations, and due to their short manifestation period it is unlikely I will be able to test that. Further testing of how objects behave inside of SCP-3040-A is needed." - Dr. Klaus Experiment 13 - 6/██/1█ Subject: A mug of hot coffee. Procedure: SCP-3040-1 was instructed to grasp the handle of the mug, and once the object disappeared, was instructed to pour it out before setting it down again. Results: The mug, upon return, was still filled with hot coffee. The volume and temperature of the liquid had not changed at all, despite SCP-3040-1 confirming she tried to pour it out. Analysis: "Objects inside are resistant to being changed in a way that alters them physically. The temperature of the coffee also did not change. Digital thermometers pegged the internal temperature of SCP-3040-A at about -268C° as well. The lack in temperature alteration may be due to SCP-3040-A being a total vacuum, or perhaps any physical changes are impossible – including the loss of heat energy. More video records, and perhaps a digital atmospheric scanner, are needed." - Dr. Klaus Addentum 1-C: + Documentation from Experiment 8 - Access Granted Note: Due to the loss of the original footage, only the textual documentation written by Dr. Klaus remains. The recording begins with a short clip of SCP-3040-1. It looks directly at the camera, before reaching out to it with the limb that is host to SCP-3040. After contact with SCP-3040 is made, the video cuts to a seemingly endless and empty white expanse. A quiet hum can be heard through the speakers for the entire duration of the remaining clip. After exactly 8.73 seconds, a ballpoint pen identical to the one used in Experiment 1 appears for approximately 0.25 seconds. After 3.61 seconds, a pen identical to the one utilized in Experiment 2 appears. In the last three seconds of the video, the three wooden blocks from Experiment 7 appear sequentially, exactly one second apart. The video cuts abruptly back to SCP-3040-1, which is looking towards Dr. Klaus. The footage ends there. Addendum 2-A: Further testing within SCP-3040-A revealed multiple temporal anomalies affecting the dimension. These anomalies include the following: Any electronic recording device within SCP-3040-A will have all files related to SCP-3040-A altered if placed into SCP-3040-A more than once. Alterations to the files only consist of changing all past files to contain all objects recently introduced into the time loop. Importantly, this affects any copies of the files as well, regardless of if they were present on the device at the time of re-introduction or not. SCP-3040-A exists within a persistent minute-long time loop. Any item inserted within SCP-3040-A will appear within all following loops at the precise moment they appeared, and will persist for 0.25 seconds without fail. No observed objects within SCP-3040-A persist for longer. Any and all living organisms will enter a form of stasis. Cells will cease to function temporarily but will not die, and all brain activity ceases as well. Organisms display no ill effects due to this stasis. Any electronic device attached to the organism will continue to function and monitor the organism, however. If an object is placed within SCP-3040-A, removed, altered, then placed back within SCP-3040-A, all electronic information involving the object will change to have the most recent version of the object present. This does not affect data created before 4/██/1█.2 See Addendum 2-B for experiments relating to the discovery of these traits. Addendum 2-B: The following experiments resulted in the discovery of numerous, previously unknown, traits of SCP-3040-A. Experiment 14 - 6/██/1█ Subject: The same camera utilized in Experiment 8. All files removed and uploaded to the Foundation database beforehand. Procedure: SCP-3040-1 was instructed to grasp the camera for twenty seconds, then to place it down. Results: The camera disappeared, much like the previous objects, and appeared once again once SCP-3040-1 released it. The camera was fully functional afterwards. + View Footage - Access Granted The recording begins with a short clip of SCP-3040-1. It looks directly at the camera, before reaching out to it with the limb that is host to SCP-3040. After contact with SCP-3040 is made, the video cuts to a seemingly endless and empty white expanse. A quiet hum can be heard through the speakers for the entire duration of the remaining clip. After 8 seconds, a ballpoint pen identical to the one used in Experiment 1 appears for approximately 0.25 seconds. After 3 seconds, a pen identical to the one utilized in Experiment 2 appears. After approximately three seconds, the three wooden blocks from Experiment 7 appear sequentially, exactly one second apart. Then, after exactly 0.5 seconds, the camera utilized in Experiment 83 manifested for 0.25 seconds. The objects utilized in experiments 9-13 also appeared at various time points, until a total of twenty seconds had passed. The video cuts abruptly back to SCP-3040-1, which is glancing off to the side. The footage ends there. Analysis: “Footage from Experiment 14 shows no new anomalies. Comparison with Experiment 8, however, revealed a new trait of SCP-3040-A. All footage regarding Experiment 8 now matches Experiment 14, though it appears to have been shot from a different angle. None of the files show any tampering, and have not been viewed since my original viewing. Further experimentation is required. This is potentially concerning.” – Dr. Klaus Experiment 15 - 6/██/1█ Subject: A new GoPro camera of the same make and model used in prior experiments. Procedure: SCP-3040-1 was instructed to grasp the camera for three minutes, then to place it down. Results: Footage from Experiments 8 and 14 was not overwritten. Camera was undamaged and still fully functional. + View Footage - Access Granted The recording begins with a short clip of SCP-3040-1 much like prior experiments. It looks directly at the camera, before reaching out to it with the limb that is host to SCP-3040. After contact with SCP-3040 is made, the video cuts to SCP-3040-A. A quiet hum can be heard through the speakers for the entire duration of the remaining clip. After 8 seconds, a ballpoint pen identical to the one used in Experiment 1 appears for approximately 0.25 seconds. After 3 seconds, a pen identical to the one utilized in Experiment 2 appears. After approximately three seconds, the three wooden blocks from Experiment 7 appear sequentially, exactly one second apart. Then, after exactly 0.5 seconds, two instances of the camera utilized in Experiment 8 and 14 manifested for 0.25 seconds. Both cameras manifested facing each other, approximately three meters apart. The objects utilized in experiments 9-13 also appeared at various time points. After the mug utilized in Experiment 13 vanished, approximately 20 seconds had passed in the video. 48 seconds passed before the manifestations began, once again starting with the ballpoint pen and ending with the coffee mug utilized in experiment 13. This would repeat once again, before the camera was removed. Analysis: “SCP-3040-A did not cause the data of Experiment 8 and Experiment 14 to change. It is not similar objects that are affected, but the exact same object. Also of note is the length of the observed pattern. All objects persist for the same amount of time, and all objects appear at the same time without fail. This indicates either a time loop, or a constant repetition of patterns. Due to the other temporal traits of SCP-3040-A, I am inclined to believe it is a time loop.” – Dr. Klaus Incident 3040-1 - 6/██/1█ On 6/██/1█, video footage containing the coffee mug utilized in Experiment 13 appeared to change, despite the files being unedited. This coincides with a separate experiment performed by Dr. Klaus, which utilized the same coffee mug without any fluid in it. At approximately 12:35 in Site-██ on 5/██/1█, numerous researchers can be seen around a table. An empty coffee mug4 is seen on the table, adjacent to numerous papers. One researcher reaches for the papers, and inadvertently causes the mug to fall on its side. All adjacent papers appear to stain, as if coffee was poured on them, despite no coffee being visible in the mug. Researchers scramble, and act as if coffee had been spilled despite no liquid being visible on the video feed. At 13:56 on 5/██/1█, the same mug was seen in the hands of Dr. Klaus. He motions as if he is drinking it, yet no liquid is seen within the mug. After this incident, Dr. Klaus asserted that in both situations, the mug had been full of coffee. He claimed that a similar effect had been observed with earlier testing of SCP-3040-A, but it did not affect non-digital objects. "What was once thought to be an isolated dimension now shows that it can literally alter digital history. Memories, physical evidence, and everything else is unaffected. But digital recordings can be completely rewritten, and we may never know. The fact it can rewrite our records without our awareness – without a trace – is enough for me to ask for a reclassification to Euclid, and perhaps seek ways to neutralize it. Primarily for the safety and preservation of our data. SCP-3040-1 must be kept under careful observation. Allowing it to wander the facility now may prove too dangerous unless specific actions are taken to minimize the chances of SCP-3040 altering information on our records.” - Dr. Klaus Further testing of SCP-3040-A has been suspended to maintain stability and reliability of digital records. SCP-3040 upgraded to “Euclid”. Any requests for amputation of SCP-3040 are to be rejected until further notice. Footnotes 1. Such as a coffee mug, ballpoint pen, or any item less than 20 cm3. 2. This is the same date that SCP-3040-1 lost its left hand. 3. It is important to note that the camera utilized in Experiment 14 and Experiment 8 were the exact same camera. 4. This mug was confirmed to be the one utilized in Experiment 13. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3040" by Ehksidian, from the SCP Wiki.

[SCP-4054] The Seventh Door SCP-4054 is The Seventh Door, an unlicensed platform adventure game released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1988. SCP-3041. Item #: SCP-3041 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3041 is to be kept in a secure locker on-site. Researchers are not to hold SCP-3041 or allow it to come in contact with their bare skin. As of 05-22-2015, all access to SCP-3041 is prohibited pending further review. Furthermore, until this review is complete, the information below should be regarded as outdated and possibly inaccurate. Description: SCP-3041 is a 12-centimeter iron knife of unidentified origin with a hilt wrapped in braided leather. Radiometric dating shows inconclusive results for the age of the blade, but indicates the hilt was added within the past two centuries. The knife's surface is rust-colored and smells of spoiled meat. Despite extensive analysis, a source for this odor has yet to be determined. SCP-3041 exhibits its anomalous property only once it has been held by a sapient subject for a certain period of time. The length of time required to trigger SCP-3041's effect varies widely; the underlying mechanism remains unknown. Once SCP-3041 has activated, subjects will eventually experience a dream wherein they use SCP-3041 to attack one or more persons, removing and consuming their hearts. This dream is set wherever the subject initially held SCP-3041, and typically involves victims one would expect to find in this setting. In all cases, subjects do not recognize their victims. No victim is known to correlate with an actual person (alive or dead). Subjects will often continue to have recurrences of this dream with little variation. Though amnestics reduce or even eliminate these occurrences, most subjects continue to show signs of emotional distress, guilt, and psychological trauma associated with PTSD. SCP-3041's effect can be triggered multiple times, producing new dreams in each case. SCP-3041 was found among the personal effects of Daniel Crenshall, an elderly recluse and collector of historical antiques who committed suicide on 02-15-1987. SCP-3041's anomalous nature was discovered when, in reviewing the contents of Mr. Crenshall's collection, a researcher began experiencing dreams similar to those described in Mr. Crenshall's suicide note. Addendum 3041.1: Attachments ► ACCESS SCP:/3041/tests/series_5.log ▼ Close File Notably, this was the last series of tests performed with SCP-3041. SUBJECT: D-85373 SUMMARY: D-85373 was placed in a room alone with SCP-3041 and asked to hold it for ten minutes. RESULT: Sleep study revealed no unusual sleeping patterns. D-85373 reported no unusual dreams. RESEARCHER NOTE: Nothing unexpected. SUBJECT: D-85373 SUMMARY: D-85373 was placed in a room alone with SCP-3041 and asked to hold it for ten minutes. RESULT: Sleep study revealed acute night-terrors. D-85373 described a nightmare in which she used SCP-3041 to ritualistically mutilate another occupant in the room over the course of thirty minutes, finally devouring his heart. Although D-85373 described the victim as someone wearing a D-Class uniform, the victim's description fit no D-Class personnel on-site. Furthermore, no D-Class personnel on-site were reported as absent or missing. RESEARCHER NOTE: Still unable to determine what triggers SCP-3041's effect. Possibly repetition of exposure? SUBJECT: D-85373 SUMMARY: D-85373 was placed in a room alone with SCP-3041 and asked to hold it for ten minutes. RESULT: Sleep study revealed acute night-terrors. D-85373 described a new nightmare, in which she had used SCP-3041 to attack and mutilate a researcher who entered the room at the end of the test. No researcher on-site fit D-85373's description; furthermore, no researcher on-site was reported as absent or missing. RESEARCHER'S NOTE: We ought to include additional D-Class personnel in the room during testing to see if they're incorporated in the subject's nightmares. SUBJECT: D-85373 SUMMARY: D-85373 was placed in a room alone with SCP-3041 and asked to hold it for ten minutes. RESULT: Sleep study revealed acute night-terrors. D-85373 now described a nightmare wherein she attacked and devoured the hearts of two D-Class personnel. Again, the description of the victims fit no on-site D-Class personnel, and no D-Class personnel were reported absent or missing. RESEARCHER'S NOTE: Despite having left explicit instructions to include additional D-Class personnel in the room, the test was carried out with only D-85373. I will oversee the next test personally. Also, staff has started to complain of a peculiar smell in the lab. Linked to SCP-3041? SUBJECT: D-85373 SUMMARY: D-85373 was placed in a room alone with SCP-3041 and asked to hold it for ten minutes. RESULT: Several hours into the test, D-85373 doubled over and complained of extreme stomach pain. Shortly thereafter, she passed out. After being rushed to the infirmary, it was determined that her stomach had ruptured. She died shortly thereafter from septic shock. An autopsy gave no indication as to the cause; despite pronounced swelling, her stomach was empty. RESEARCHER'S NOTE: After analysis of notes I took during this test, I found that I had made 9 separate attempts to have 2 D-Class personnel enter the room. I have no recollection of doing this. In fact, outside of D-85373, there are — and never have been — any D-Class personnel assigned to SCP-3041. On top of all of this, the smell throughout the lab has become unbearable. I've ordered the immediate cessation of all tests with SCP-3041 pending review by the Site Director. ► ACCESS SCP:/3041/tests/admin_memo.log ▼ Close File TO: Researchers Assigned to SCP-3041 SUBJECT: IMMEDIATE ACTION: CEASE ALL TESTING After a careful review of laboratory procedures, test footage, and personnel records associated with SCP-3041, the following inexplicable discrepancies have been noted: Despite regulations requiring each SCP have both a Lead Researcher and an Assistant Lead Researcher, it appears only a Lead Researcher was assigned to SCP-3041. The reason behind this oversight is currently under review. Critical site-wide shortages of D-Class personnel have been reported since testing with SCP-3041 began. These shortages have yet to be explained; while no D-Class personnel appear to be absent or missing, only a fraction of the expected number of D-Class personnel are present. Despite each test with SCP-3041 reported as lasting only ten minutes, video footage for each test ranges from ten minutes to four hours. Furthermore, when viewed, this footage exhibits what is believed to be a cognitohazard effect: Only portions of the video can be perceived by viewers. Despite several thorough examinations, the labs used for testing SCP-3041 continue to smell of rotting meat. This effect remains unexplained, and is very likely anomalous. For these reasons, all testing with SCP-3041 is to be suspended until further notice. SCP-3041 is to be secured in an on-site safe-box immediately. All labs used to test SCP-3041 are to undergo a Class VI decontamination procedure, and all personnel involved in testing are to be examined for potential infection with antimemetic agents. ► ACCESS SCP:/3041/files/suicide_note.log ▼ Close File The following note was found at Mr. Crenshall's desk shortly after his body was discovered: The nightmare began a year ago, and it still won't stop. In it, my arm is wet with blood, the knife in hand — glittering like a brilliant, shining ruby. My heart beats like a drum; before me, I see the faces of strangers, contorted in agony, screaming for mercy. A woman. A man. Children… three girls, and a little baby boy. I do not know them. I cut them open. I cut them open, and then I eat their hearts. I know it's just a nightmare. But it feels so real, so vivid… and there are times when I swear I can taste raw meat on the back of my tongue. When I can feel it slide down my throat, into my belly. I've lived a long, lonely life. I have never known friends or family… so why do I live in a house with so many rooms? Why does each room fill me with guilt and dread? Why can't I bring myself to go down to my basement — why does it smell like rotting flesh? And why do I own a crib? My nightmare took place under the house. I've never gone down to look. I'm too afraid. If you're reading this, then you'll have to look for me. Maybe you'll find nothing. I pray you find nothing. Either I'm crazy or I'm the Devil. Please, God, let me be crazy. Despite a thorough investigation of Mr. Crenshall's basement, researchers reported that the only thing of note was the overpowering odor of rancid meat. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3041" by The Great Hippo, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3042 | esoteric-class | Item#: 3042 Level2 Containment Class: esoteric Secondary Class: memet Disruption Class: keneq Risk Class: warning link to memo SCP-3042 in containment + Researcher Note - Resarcher Note Due to the nature of the anomalous abilities displayed by SCP-3042, no conventional method of singular containment has proven successful. Procedures instead focus on containing the individual SCP-3042 is showing affection to, designated SCP-3042-1. -D. Gellman, Sc.D, Area-25 Lead Researcher Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3042 and SCP-3042-1 are held in joint containment in a small modular house on the grounds of Biological Research Area-25. Containment includes a secure communication line to a special liaison within Area-25 and a standard custom datakey-activated atomizing termination chamber. Containment is surrounded at a radius of 15m by a 5m-high electrified and reinforced fence including a full coverage canopy (see report 3042-CB-3). Fence includes an airlock-configuration gate for safe delivery of supplies, removal of rubbish, and introduction of personnel. Land outside containment fence is patrolled at all times by three (3) all-terrain swift response security specialists. In the unlikely event of SCP-3042 and SCP-3042-1 becoming separated outside containment house grounds, swift response specialists will expediently deliver SCP-3042-1 to SCP-3042. During test periods, delivery of subjects to test site will be executed by no fewer than five (5) members of the Special Fugitive Transportation unit. Containment is staffed by two (2) Scheduling Enforcement specialists. Should SCP-3042-1 become medically unstable, enforcement specialists will restrain SCP-3042-1 and one (1) D-class personnel (designated 3042-D) will be delivered to containment. SCP-3042-1 will be terminated via chamber operated by 3042-D, who is then reclassified as SCP-3042-1. These procedures may also be enacted at the request of the current SCP-3042-1. Description: SCP-3042 is a small dog with a mottled coat; primarily white with gray and brown areas. Genomic saliva tests reveal DNA consistent with an unrecorded breed of canis lupus familiaris. SCP-3042 resembles a 4-5 year old Havanese weighing 5 kg and measuring 25 cm tall. SCP-3042 appears to be in peak physical condition, free of any outwardly observable sign of past or present injury or malady. SCP-3042 has not slept, consumed food or water, or produced urine or stool since containment. Further medical tests have proven thus far impossible due to the anomalous traits of SCP-3042. + Recovery Details - Recovery Details SCP-3042 was discovered during a raid executed by Special Task Force Kappa-7 while seeking to contain possible instances of SCP-484.1 Raid resulted in institution of lethal measures against narcotic distributors. It is at this time SCP-3042 began following and showing affection to Special Agent ██████. While at first believing SCP-3042 to be a typical dog, Special Agent ██████ reported anomalous behavior and abilities within one week and was the first to be Foundation designated as SCP-3042-1. Exhibiting behavior likened to an extreme and obsessive form of psychological imprinting, SCP-3042 perpetually exhibits belligerently affectionate behavior toward SCP-3042-1. SCP-3042 will continuously jump on, lick, play bite, paw at, and playfully bark at SCP-3042-1 even when abused or severely rejected. Thus far no stimulus tested has distracted SCP-3042 from its focus on SCP-3042-1. No individual designated SCP-3042-1 has ever been severely injured by SCP-3042 despite its extreme destructive capabilities. Occasional reports of welts, scratches, and skin ulcers due to wear from long-term continuous licking by SCP-3042 are to be considered normal and non-emergent. Individuals designated SCP-3042-1 have reported physical and psychological symptoms during their containment including but not limited to: body aches, burning eyes, chronic fatigue, irritability, headaches, confusion, memory lapses, delusions, and seizures. Project medical lead Dr. A. Eastmore believes these symptoms to be non-anomalous, resulting from sleep deprivation and chronic stress due to the constant attention of SCP-3042. While I respect Dr. Eastmore’s expertise and training, I am forced to disagree with his conclusion. Most people eventually sleep even with a pest, these people don’t. Testing is to continue. -Dr. M. Gomez, Medical Director, Area 25 Should SCP-3042 and SCP-3042-1 become separated, SCP-3042 will immediately make its way back to SCP-3042-1 via the most direct route. When motivated to this end, SCP-3042 has shown the capability to destroy even the strongest materials and move at extreme speed (see Test Log 3042-A). SCP-3042 also displays an astounding resistance to physical damage, poison, disease, and deprivation. Research has yet to discover any conventional means of injuring SCP-3042 (see Test Log 3042-B); SCP-3042 has expressed canine distress behavior only once while in Foundation containment (see Documentation Log SCPX3042). When SCP-3042-1 is terminated or expires, SCP-3042 will immediately move directly toward the next SCP-3042-1. This has thus far always been a person with a measure of responsibility in the expiration of the previous SCP-3042-1. Current containment procedures are designed to create an unbroken chain of direct responsibility for terminations, containing SCP-3042 while also preventing casualty and damage among Foundation and civilian populations. Research into how SCP-3042 reacts to SCP-3042-1 expiring by way of suicide or misadventure on hold indefinitely, as no acceptably safe methodology by which to test these reactions has been developed. (See Incident Report 3042-CB-2) + Incident Reports - Incident Reports Report 3042-CB-1 Researcher’s note: This incident took place early in SCP-3042 containment period; initial containment was relegated to a standard on-site humanoid holding cell. Motivations of SCP-3042 were not known at this time. -D.G. On ██/██/20██, SCP-3042-1 entered a request for termination, claiming he could "…No longer deal with this goddamn dog!". Request for termination was granted, considered a "research opportunity" by site director. SCP-3042-1 termination delayed by destruction of initial termination chamber by SCP-3042, which rammed through level 3 ballistic glass with little effort. Agent ████████ ordered to administer ballistic termination and complied. Immediately upon the termination of SCP-3042-1, SCP-3042 imprinted onto Agent ████████ and made its way to the agent. In its travels, SCP-3042 dug through two steel-reinforced concrete walls, rammed through an observation deck end to end, and shattered 14 windows in section 3 by producing a speed-induced pressure wave. 22 Foundation staff injured, 4 killed, secondary containment protocols enacted for 3 other SCPs. Agent ████████ reported firing several shots into SCP-3042 at point blank range with long-range high-powered rifle to no effect. Agent reclassified as SCP-3042-1. Current containment protocols enacted soon thereafter. Report 3042-CB-2 At approximately 14:30 on ██/██/20██, SCP-3042 burst through the wall of containment house, through intervening fence, and began transiting northeast at extreme speed. Foundation Skysight units recorded maximum speed as approximately Mach 1.2 before losing contact. Site contacted 4 minute 37 seconds after breach by supply agent █████ from nearby public highway ██. Agent reported the driver side door of Foundation supply transport vehicle being torn off and SCP-3042 jumping into his lap at highway speed. Agent ordered to return immediately to Area-25 and complied. Investigation uncovered that Agent had introduced most recent supply drop to containment house, and that SCP-3042-1 had choked to death on beef jerky included in supply drop. Agent reclassified as SCP-3042-1, staff introduced to containment house on a permanent basis. Report 3042-CB-3 At approximately 02:45 on ██/██/20██, containment house personnel reported SCP-3042-1 acting erratic. As observation continued, designatee scooped up SCP-3042, ran outside, and pitched it over the containment fence. Designatee was subdued by containment house staff. SCP-3042 was reported to land, right itself, and rush back to SCP-3042-1, ripping an approximate 1-meter diameter hole in containment fence. SCP-3042-1 restrained while fence was repaired, 3042-D dispatched to containment house. SCP-3042-1 terminated on schedule per procedure, 3042-D reclassified as SCP-3042-1. Security canopy installation completed on schedule. + Test Log 3042-A - Capabilities Testing Researcher‘s note: Although it came at the cost of the repair and upgrade of containment, I am forced to credit one of our early designated with a simple and inspired solution concerning SCP-3042 capability testing. -D.G. Universal Procedure: SCP-3042-1 will deliver SCP-3042 to the opposing side of an obstacle in the form of a wall by way of physical kinetic propulsion. Effect of SCP-3042 on obstacle will then be recorded by multispectral ultra high speed camera. Time to return contact with SCP-3042-1 will be recorded. LOG.A.3042.001 Material: Tungsten carbide Thickness: 5cm Result: SCP-3042 clawed a .5m diameter hole into wall utilizing typical canine digging action. Return time: 2.594 seconds. Notes: samples of wall material collected display no anomalous traits. Material appears to have shaved from wall by mechanical shear. LOG.A.3042.010 Material: Chobham composite Thickness: 5cm Result: SCP-3042 ran directly through barrier. Two (2) Foundation personnel injured by burst of shrapnel Return time: 1.953 seconds Notes: samples of wall material collected display no anomalous traits. Material appears to have been overcome by shattering blunt force. Researcher’s note: this second test marked a turn in our testing approach. We decided to work from the top tier of resistant materials as opposed to our usual "step-up" procedures. -D.G. LOG.A.3042.100 Material: Graphene Thickness: 15nm Result: SCP-3042 gripped all layers in its mouth and shredded them with a thrash of the head. Return Time: 2.285 Seconds Notes: samples of wall material collected display no anomalous traits. Material appears to have been shredded, not unlike newsprint. Capabilities study suspended indefinitely pending Overseer approval of cross-testing with other SCPs2or sufficient scientific advancement in materials science -L.E., Area Director + Test Log 3042-B Resistance Testing Universal Procedure: A number of health stressors will be applied to SCP-3042, which will then be tested for illness or injury. LOG.B.3042.001 Stressor: SCP-3042-1 instructed to strike SCP-3042 with a steel machete using maximum effort. Result: SCP-3042 unfazed. Machete experienced catastrophic failure. Designatee treated for minor lacerations. No injury to SCP-3042 recorded. Remains of machete show no anomalous traits. LOG.B.3042.010 Stressor: SCP-3042-1 instructed to assault SCP-3042 with a .45 calibre pistol loaded with overpressure hollow point rounds. Result: SCP-3042 unfazed by sound, flash, or impact. Against researcher advice, designatee pressed firearm muzzle directly against SCP-3042. Firearm catastrophically failed, designatee treated severe injury to right hand as well as concussion after being struck by ejected pistol slide. No injury to SCP-3042 recorded. Remains of firearm, ejected casing, and collected rounds show no anomalous traits. LOG.B.3042.011 Stressor: SCP-3042-1 instructed to fit SCP-3042 with a vest containing a standard M112 C-4 demolition block. SCP-3042-1 instructed to propel SCP-3042 over Chobham composite barrier and immediately detonate block. Result: SCP-3042 tore through barrier after detonation and returned to designatee (Return Time: 3.256 seconds). SCP-3042 observed to have slightly messed fur, but free of injury. C-4 observed to have detonated properly and as expected. LOG.B.3042.100 Stressor: SCP-3042-1 scheduled for termination. Designatee joined in standard atomizing termination chamber by SCP-3042. Chamber operated by 3042-D. Result: SCP-3042-1 terminated on schedule. SCP-3042 burst out of chamber after termination cycle was complete. No injury to SCP-3042 recorded. 3042-D immediately reclassified as SCP-3042-1. + Documentation Log SCPX3042 -SCP Cross Testing Universal Procedure: Exposing SCP-3042 and/or SCP-3042-1 to anomalous effects under controlled conditions Off-Area Cross Testing Logs: experiment-log-t-98816-oc108-682 experiment-log-702 scp-978-extended-test-logs Director's note: I have assigned a Special Engineering team to modify a standard termination chamber which… and I never imagined writing these words… allows swift and easy escape of SCP-3042.

Yesterday, our bots picked up unauthorized changes to documents on our internal servers. Two minutes later, all on-site personnel — including myself — blacked out for three hours. Every camera ceased to function during this period. When we woke up, we all had headaches, the entire site smelled like cigarettes and cheap alcohol, two of my guards were injured, three bullets were lodged in my desk, and somebody had shot SCP-3043. The only clue we've got regarding those three hours is SCP-3043's old documentation, which has been… well, 'updated' is one way to put it. I've included it with this email, along with the revised documentation for SCP-3043. We've got no clue who this 'Murphy Law' character is. I'm recommending we immediately assign him an SCP identification and start investigating. All the evidence we've got so far indicates that he and SCP-3043 are unrelated anomalies. Also, none of us actually remember him — despite some of us being 'featured' in… whatever the hell this was. The short of it is this: Either he saved us from the mother of all containment breaches… or he just wanted us to think that he did. Regardless of which, we need to know who he is and what the hell he's capable of. ► ATTACHMENT: item_number.log ▼ Close File FADE IN: INT. MURPHY LAW DETECTIVE AGENCY - NIGHT A light-skinned man leans back at his desk, feet up, reading a newspaper. He is clad in a white-collared shirt, with his trademark trilby hat tossed thoughtlessly atop of his desk. We can see his shoulder-strapped holster; it carries a .44 magnum. A bent cigarette rests between his lips. His name is MURPHY, and he is ready to give anyone a bit of the business. He is hard and handsome — with the sort of face you could use to smash up concrete, then dust off and still take home to show your ma. He is also our NARRATOR. His voice is a harsh growl; as if he just swallowed a fistful of spent cigarette butts and followed it down with a sulfuric acid chaser. NARRATOR You see a lot of ugly in this line of work. Good people with bellies full of lead, left to bleed out in rain-soaked alleyways. Love ruined — turned inside out — until it just becomes an angry, festering sore. Statues that'll kill you as fast as you blink. The door to the office flies open. A dark-skinned woman dressed in a white lab-coat bursts in; she is in her 40s, and has a fierce, vibrant beauty. This is the RESEARCHER, and although she might need MURPHY's help, that doesn't mean she's going to like it. NARRATOR But when it comes to ugly, nothing beats a containment breach. RESEARCHER (confused) What… what am I doing, here? NARRATOR She wasn't the first beautiful woman to burst into my office and ask me that question. MURPHY (lowering paper) Same as anyone else, toots. You need my help. RESEARCHER (indignant) Don't call me 'toots'. I've got a fucking doctorate in molecular physics— MURPHY (sets paper down) Alright, alright. My bad, Professor. I apologize. Now… MURPHY slides his feet off the desk and rises to stand. He folds his arms over his chest and watches her. MURPHY How can I help? RESEARCHER (hesitant) I don't… I don't know how I got here. I don't even know what 'here' is. I was… I think I was working on something, when I heard typing sounds, and suddenly… RESEARCHER (shocked) I don't remember. I don't even remember my name. NARRATOR A beautiful woman with a doctorate in molecular physics — and no memory of who she was or how she got here. Her eyes told me she needed my help; her name-badge told me the rest. MURPHY (glancing at her name-badge) You're Professor Michelle Lewis. The RESEARCHER looks down at her name-badge, as if noticing it for the first time. She appears shocked; her eyes rise back up to stare at MURPHY. She now knows her name. It is DR. LEWIS. DR. LEWIS I… right. That's my name. I work for the Foundation. NARRATOR The Foundation. A bunch of pencil-pushing geeks trying to figure out where the magicians were hiding all those rabbits they pulled out of their hats. I should have turned her away right then and there; when the Foundation's involved, you know it ain't gonna be nothing but trouble. MURPHY scowls, but nods his head, moving to open a drawer in his desk. NARRATOR But me? I'm not the sort of man who stays away from trouble. MURPHY pulls out two shot-glasses, along with a bottle of half-finished whiskey. He sets them atop of his desk, focusing his icy stare on DR. LEWIS. NARRATOR I'm the sort who slides on over next to trouble and buys her a drink. MURPHY Alright, Professor. I'll take the case. DR. LEWIS You will? I mean… wait, what? NARRATOR My name is Murphy Law.

MURPHY'S CAR - NIGHT MURPHY drives; DR. LEWIS stares out the window in the passenger seat. City lights wash through the car, casting both of them in a metallic tangerine glow. DR. LEWIS is wearing her seat-belt; MURPHY isn't. MURPHY Alright, Professor. Talk to me: What else do you remember? DR. LEWIS (startled) How did we… when did we get inside of this— NARRATOR She was smart. But that was part of the problem: She was too smart. Always thinking too much. Sometimes, you just gotta go along for the ride. MURPHY Focus on the problem. What do you remember before stepping into my office? DR. LEWIS (frowning, but thinking) …right. I was working on something. Updating documentation, I think. Something about a change, an important one. That's when I heard typing in the other room. And then I felt dizzy, and it was like… DR. LEWIS (shaking her head) Like something was trying to erase me. Erase the thoughts in my head, even as I was having them. NARRATOR Sounded to me like the Professor stumbled onto something she wasn't supposed to. Somebody had tried to rub her out — but who? And how? MURPHY Anything else? DR. LEWIS (thinking) I think… I can't remember all the updates I was making, but it had to do with SCP-3043. MURPHY Alright. What's 3043? DR. LEWIS (frowning) I… don't remember. NARRATOR If I was going to figure out this mystery, I had to find out what 3043 really was. And if the Professor couldn't tell me, there was only one other person who could. MURPHY turns left, brows crinkling with renewed focus. NARRATOR Site Director August. FADE OUT. FADE IN: EXT. FOUNDATION HEADQUARTERS MURPHY's car parks just outside of a sprawling gated mansion. NARRATOR If Site-95 was the rotting corpse, Site Director August was the worms wriggling inside of its corrupted core. Bribery, extortion, racketeering — he had his dirty paws in the pocket of every two-bit researcher, agent, and D-Class from Level 9 down to Sub-Level 7. MURPHY shifts the car in park; DR. LEWIS turns to look at him. MURPHY moves to open the door. NARRATOR But he also had ears everywhere. When a gnat took a crap, he heard the plop. If anyone knew what 3043 really was, it would be him. DR. LEWIS (reaching for MURPHY) Mr. Law. Wait. MURPHY pauses, looking back at her. DR. LEWIS I just remembered — the update I was going to make to the documentation. MURPHY tilts his head, waiting.

SITE DIRECTOR'S OFFICE - MORNING The office is expensively furnished, with framed-glass windows on three of its four walls; outside, a lush garden grows on all of its sides. Morning light streams in through the windows, casting the room in a warm glow. Standing behind the desk — facing the rising sun — is a man. He is short, with russet-brown skin, a shaved head, and a face full of piercings. He wears an exceptionally fine black suit. This is Site Director AUGUST: A hard, brilliant man with a heart of steel. As MURPHY enters through the door, he's flanked by two men in sharp suits. They are silent, but armed; ready to do violence at a snap of AUGUST's fingers. As MURPHY shrugs himself out of their grip, they station themselves on either side of him. AUGUST (staring out the window) Mr. Law. You wanted to see me? MURPHY (dusting off his coat) Yeah. About 3043. NARRATOR When dealing with Site Director August, you didn't try to bluff. You just kept your cards close and hoped to God the man didn't have a better hand. AUGUST That's classified. MURPHY Is it, now? Since when does the Foundation care about classifying 'Safe' anomalies? AUGUST turns, ever so slightly. A pierced eyebrow is raised. NARRATOR I just raised the ante. AUGUST How would you know that? And we care about classifying all anomalies, Mr. Law. MURPHY So I've been told. But a little birdy tells me you might have classified one of them wrong. 3043 ain't Safe. It's Keter. AUGUST turns completely, staring MURPHY down. AUGUST (smiling) You've been speaking to Dr. Lewis, I presume. Where is she? NARRATOR Something wasn't right. He was already calling me — and men like Site Director August only smiled the instant before they laid down a winning hand. MURPHY Safe. Unlike 3043. What is it? AUGUST narrows his eyes. He gives the slightest nod. NARRATOR That was his tell. He unwittingly had shown me his cards: Pair of aces. The two men on MURPHY's left and right instantly reach for their sidearms. NARRATOR Lucky for me, I was packing three of a kind. MURPHY slams his left elbow into one man's stomach; he uses his right hand to draw his magnum .44. As the second man pulls his piece, MURPHY pistol-whips him in the temple — he goes down. MURPHY spins and opens fire — three shots slam into AUGUST's desk. AUGUST freezes, but shows no fear. His eyes narrow. NARRATOR It was time to cash out. MURPHY 3043. Last chance. What is it? MURPHY pauses long enough to kick one of the men on the floor, but never looks away from AUGUST. AUGUST You know precisely what it is. MURPHY Humor me. AUGUST It's you, Mr. Law. You're the anomaly. You're SCP-3043. MURPHY narrows his eyes. He gives one last kick to one of the men, then charges out the door. FADE OUT. FADE IN: EXT. FOUNDATION HEADQUARTERS MURPHY's car is still waiting for him; he runs toward it. NARRATOR Someone had played me like a fiddle. It was all a setup — and I was the stooge. As he reaches his car, he finds it empty; no sign of DR. LEWIS. NARRATOR 3043 was going to make me take the heat for whatever it did to the Professor. It had me wrapped up nice and tight — even got me to present myself to the Foundation in a pretty little bow. MURPHY gets into the car, starting it up. NARRATOR But there was one thing 3043 didn't count on: A man with nothing to lose. The tires squeal as he burns rubber, driving away.

Item #: SCP-3043 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3043 is to be kept in a secure locker on-site. Access requires Level-3 clearance. Description: SCP-3043 is a 1937 Olympia Elite typewriter with two .44 caliber bullets lodged in its casing. Before it was neutralized, SCP-3043 exhibited the ability to rewrite any physical document within its immediate vicinity to match whatever was typed into it. It was neutralized before any additional properties could be confirmed. On 14-12-2005, a containment breach occurred at Site-95. During this breach, an unknown anomalous event prevented all outside contact for approximately 3 hours. All entities affected by this anomaly have no recollection of the events that occurred during these 3 hours; furthermore, all recording devices within Site-95 appear to have malfunctioned during this period. Shortly after this event concluded, Site-95 reported all SCPs were now contained with the exception of SCP-3043. SCP-3043 was found in Dr. Lewis' office in its current state. Dr. Lewis also discovered that all copies of SCP-3043's documentation were now replaced with an 'updated' version (see attached files). [REDACTED] //Close %%/F#l FADE IN: EXT.

SCP-3044 | euclid | Evolution In A Bottle Item #: SCP-3044 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3044 is to be contained at Site-234 in the centre of a hermetically sealed chamber of at least 4m x 4m x 3m, accessible only via a double airlock system. Each section of the airlock must be capable of running a full biological decontamination protocol. Access to the chamber is to be granted only in the six hours following a Flash event, and only if the previous instance of SCP-3044-1 was successfully contained within SCP-3044. All maintenance must be performed during this time period, and no access is to be granted outside of this time frame for any reason. Due to this relatively small time frame, all maintenance personnel and other staff requiring access should be pre-approved by the Senior Researcher. A robotic arm capable of remotely placing a new cap on SCP-3044 must be fixed to the ceiling, and must be used to reseal SCP-3044 following a Flash event if required. Ultra high-speed cameras capable of at least 100x zoom must be positioned in the containment chamber to allow for 100% visibility of SCP-3044's contents. Description: SCP-3044 is a clear glass bottle with a spherical body measuring 1.2m in diameter, tapering up to a neck and mouth 28cm in diameter, with a full height of 1.7m. SCP-3044 contains a micro-environment typically unique from anything found on Earth. These environments are designated SCP-3044-1. At random intervals1 SCP-3044 will emit a bright flash of light (henceforth referred to as a Flash event) which lasts for less than a second. During the Flash event the current instance of SCP-3044-1 is destroyed and replaced with a new instance. This new instance will begin as a layer of soil with an atmosphere and liquids, made up of seemingly random combinations of different elements. Shortly after the Flash event,2 signs of life will begin to appear within SCP-3044. This life typically starts as bacteria or some other microscopic organism, whose presence can be inferred from visible changes in the composition of the environment. It then rapidly develops into plant and animal life, though many variations on this have been observed. Time within SCP-3044 flows at a highly accelerated rate, though this acceleration does not solely account for the speed at which life develops, suggesting some form of guided or controlled evolution. These factors make observation with the naked eye difficult. SCP-3044 itself appears to be made up of non-anomalous borosilicate glass and is therefore easily broken. The original stopper found with SCP-3044 was replaced with a custom one allowing for easy sampling of the contents without risk of contamination in either direction. This sampling is to be done immediately after each Flash event. Addendum #01: Following Incident 3044-001, containment procedures have been upgraded and a request to upgrade classification from Safe to Euclid has been submitted. See Incident Report for details. Note: Upgrade to Euclid class confirmed. Incident 3044-001 Final Report: On ██-██-199█, SCP-3044 suddenly and unexpectedly shattered while Researcher T███████ was in the containment chamber. The current instance of SCP-3044-1, in this case consisting of a large variety of fungal spores, was released into the air and inhaled by Researcher T███████. This rapidly resulted in severe seizures and then death. Over the course of the next hour Researcher T███████'s body, clothing, and all non-metallic objects on their person were completely consumed by the fungus. The reason for SCP-3044's shattering is believed to be high pressure caused by the buildup of spores within. The seal on the containment chamber held, but the risk of contamination made entrance impossible. Over the course of the following nine days, the fungus was observed covering and consuming every surface of the containment chamber - albeit at a much slower rate than it consumed Researcher T███████ - at which point a Flash event occurred despite the damage to SCP-3044. Following the Flash event SCP-3044 was found intact and in its original location, although the stopper was missing and the new instance of SCP-3044-1 occupied the entire containment chamber. The previous instance of SCP-3044-1 had been completely removed, though damage to the containment chamber walls was still present. Personnel wearing Level 4 Biohazard Suits entered the chamber and inserted a new stopper, and attempted to retrieve any remains or equipment left by Researcher T███████, though none were found. The new instance of SCP-3044-1 lasted for 4 days and 13 hours, during which time an ecosystem vastly more complicated than is usually created by SCP-3044 emerged, until the Flash event occurred and the new instance of SCP-3044-1 was once again contained within SCP-3044, the new stopper having remained in place. Following this incident, SCP-3044 was moved to a more secure biological containment facility. + Experiment Log 3044-A - Experiment Log 3044-A Following Incident 3044-001, experimentation began to determine the exact nature of SCP-3044's Flash events. Experiment 01 Test: A length of iron 50cm long was placed against the body of SCP-3044 and left until the next Flash event. Baseline expectation test. Result: No effect. Following the Flash event, the iron rod was unchanged. Experiment 02 Test: Following a Flash event, the stopper was removed from SCP-3044. Result: The primarily aluminium-based ecosystem began to grow out towards the mouth of SCP-3044, starting with flying organisms and followed later by vine-like tendrils growing out and over the outside of SCP-3044. Following the Flash event, the new instance of SCP-3044-1 filled the entire containment chamber; the ground was covered in soil with multiple large "lakes" of an unknown yellow-brown liquid, and the air within the chamber was replaced with a cloudy green gas. As per containment procedures, access to take samples of this environment was not granted. Experiment 03 Test: Directly following the previous experiment, the stopper was left out of SCP-3044. Result: In a manner consistent with the effects observed during Incident 3044-001, the effect of SCP-3044 encompassed the entire chamber. Following the next Flash event, the new instance of SCP-3044-1 also encompassed the entire chamber. Note by Dr. ███████: Both instances in which SCP-3044-1 filled the entire containment chamber developed a far greater variety of lifeforms, and even began forming some basic weather patterns in the atmosphere. Once these experiments are concluded, consideration should be given to leaving the stopper out of SCP-3044 long-term. Experiment 04 Test: Directly following the Flash event in the previous experiment, the stopper was replaced in SCP-3044. Result: Evolution within SCP-3044-1 proceeded as expected, although because the ecosystem within SCP-3044 was now isolated from that filling the containment chamber, evolution resulted in markedly different varieties of life-forms. Following the Flash event, SCP-3044-1 was once again contained entirely within SCP-3044, with all material (including the atmosphere) outside of SCP-3044 removed. Note by Dr. ███████: Following this experiment, I decided to check the samples we had taken from previous instances of SCP-3044-1 and stored. All of them were present and accounted for; it is unknown why they didn't vanish with the rest of their environments, when direct connection to the inside of SCP-3044 is obviously not required. A range-based factor, perhaps? Experiment 05 Test: SCP-3044 was temporarily transferred to the on-site Long Range Testing Chamber,3 with samples taken from the current instance of SCP-3044-1 placed at 100m intervals through the length of the chamber. Result: All of the samples disappeared following the Flash event. Note by Dr. ███████: OK, not a ranged based effect. Line of sight, perhaps? SCP-3044 was sealed which suggests something a little more complex. Experiment 06 Test: As in Experiment 05. The stopper was removed from SCP-3044. Following the Flash event a series of random objects were placed at varying distances along the test chamber and the stopper was replaced. Result: The new instance of SCP-3044-1 filled the entire length of the Long Range Testing Chamber. In order to ensure containment regular thermal decontamination protocols were run throughout the chamber until the next Flash event, at which point the new instance was fully contained within SCP-3044. The previous instance was completely destroyed, leaving behind the objects placed in the chamber. Summary from Dr. ███████: This is the full extent of the range of effect on SCP-3044 that we can safely test, but there's no reason to assume it can't go much further. If nothing else, this has highlighted the importance of maintaining proper containment on SCP-3044 - if a Flash event occurred in an uncontained environment while the stopper was removed, there's no telling what damage it would do. Replacing a non-trivial chunk of the Earth's surface with some random alien landscape would be the best case scenario. I'm suggesting that SCP-3044 be contained away from any other objects that are likely to destructively break containment. SCP-3044 itself isn't too difficult to contain - a sealed room seems like it will do the job - but it would only take the smallest amount of bad timing to end in disaster. + Observation Log 3044-001 - Observation Log 3044-001 Note: Following are notable excerpts from the observation log. For access to the full log, contact the Senior Researcher. The observation log was started during instance SCP-3044-1-003, after the constantly cycling nature of SCP-3044 became apparent. Observations largely transcribed from viewings of recordings due to the difficulties of observation with the naked eye caused by the time accelerating effect within SCP-3044 Subject: SCP-3044-1-001 Composition: Unknown Notes: Instance of SCP-3044-1 present on arrival at Site ██. Protocols for retrieving chemical samples not yet in place. Observations: Primary features included a forest of various species of "giant" fungus (visual analysis shows at least 17 distinct species) and a species of flying reptiles with six wings. This instance of SCP-3044-1 lasted for two hours after arrival at Site ██ before a Flash event, resulting in a lack of visual documentation. Atmosphere within SCP-3044 was noted as having a distinct purple tint, theorised to be caused by fungal spores. Subject: SCP-3044-1-005 Composition: Soil layer contains high concentrations of iron and silicon. Lake of liquid ammonia covers approximately 30% of total surface. Atmosphere primarily argon. Notes: The chemical composition of this instance of SCP-3044-1 is impossible under ordinary circumstances; at the temperature and pressure present within SCP-3044 ammonia would be a gas, not a liquid. This suggests a larger scale manipulation of reality within the confines of SCP-3044. Observations: 18 hours after instantiation, lake began to bubble violently for 54 minutes, releasing more gases into the atmosphere which testing revealed to be primarily nitrogen and carbon monoxide. 73 hours after the atmosphere stabilised, small creatures resembling millipedes with metallic carapaces emerged from the lake and over the course of three weeks evolved into a large variety of creatures resembling insects with thick metallic shells. Of particular note was the lack of plant life in this instance, resulting in a complex and almost completely carnivorous food-chain. Addendum: It was later discovered that the sample of liquid ammonia collected from this instance of SCP-3044-1 reverted to its expected gaseous state following the subsequent Flash event. Subject: SCP-3044-1-076 Composition: Earth-analogous, though atmosphere contained much higher concentrations of oxygen. Notes: Observations incomplete, see Incident 3044-001 Report for details. Subject: SCP-3044-1-151 Composition: Primarily carbon, silicon and iron. Notable for lack of any other metal besides iron. Atmosphere primarily carbon dioxide and oxygen. Lake of pure water formed a nearly perfect circle in the centre of SCP-3044. Trace quantities of a previously unidentified form of exotic matter were found in both the water and soil. Observations: Activity in this instance began quickly, at eight hours after the Flash event (the earliest recorded thus far), with bacterial processes causing notable discolouration of soil layer. A diverse and rapidly changing array of both land and "sea" life evolved and went extinct over the course of several weeks, before a humanoid and vaguely reptilian species began showing signs of sapience. They quickly became the dominant species within the environment and were observed using increasingly complex tools and building structures of surprising intricacy. They began showing signs of technological development after approximately 15 weeks. This culminated in the construction of a comparatively large tube-like structure attached to the inner surface of SCP-3044, which began cutting a hole through the glass over the course of approximately one hour. This tube ultimately proved to function as an airlock, and for the remainder of SCP-3044-1-151s existence the lifeforms within could be seen performing exploratory missions into the containment chamber. Due to the recently upgraded containment procedures and the unlikelihood of the lifeforms breaching containment, they were allowed to continue their activities without intervention, though the situation was monitored closely. The hole cut by the lifeforms was gone following the Flash event, and collected samples of the exotic matter disappeared from their storage container. Subject: SCP-3044-1-193 Composition: Besides a small layer of sediment at the bottom (unsampled, though visibly similar to terrestrial earth,) SCP-3044 was approximately 80% filled with water similar to that found in the Pacific Ocean. Notes: This is the first time no landmasses have been present within SCP-3044. Observations: After 25 hours of apparent inactivity, this instance rapidly evolved a stunningly diverse array of sea life, approximately 40% of which differed significantly from anything currently found on Earth. After three weeks, a small rock-like organism was observed floating close to the surface of the water, and over the course of the following four weeks grew to a size of approximately 30cm across, with a 20cm tall mass of rocky "shell" protruding from the water, essentially forming an island. Over the remaining five weeks of this instance's existence, a number of lifeforms evolved on the new island, including several bird-like species. How this island-creature was able to grow to such a size with no apparent source of food, or where the material to accommodate its composition came from is currently unknown. Subject: SCP-3044-1-213 Composition: Earth-analogous, with only minor variations. Traces of the exotic matter previously seen in instance 151 were found. Observations: Evolution of life within this instance followed a similar pattern to that seen on Earth following the K-T extinction event, with mammalian forms roughly analogous to terrestrial life developing relatively quickly. Approximately two weeks into the life of this instance, primates resembling early hominids began showing signs of sapience and approximately one week later had developed into a form closely resembling humans. Progress from the use of basic tools to the construction of settlements and development of technology occurred quickly, with notable similarities to middle-eastern architecture circa 500 BCE in design of their buildings. Of particular note is that two months into the life of this instance, they began showing signs of telekinetic abilities which they used in groups for constructing buildings and monuments. Due to the small scale of the life-forms within SCP-3044, determining the exact nature and limits of this telekinetic ability is challenging but was observed to be increasing in potency over time, with fewer individuals being required to move the same amount of material. A Flash event occurred when the civilization within was believed to be on a level roughly analogous to humans circa 1500 CE. Notably, unlike in instance 151, the civilization in this instance displayed no observable awareness of the interior walls of SCP-3044. As in the previous case, following the Flash event the samples of exotic matter disappeared. Subject: SCP-3044-1-247 Composition: Silicon and carbon rich soil with high concentrations of heavy metals. Dense atmosphere of carbon-compounds, and lakes consisting of a variety of hydrocarbons. Observations: Evolution occurred in a manner congruent with previous instances of a similar composition, ultimately developing into an array of fungus-based lifeforms visually similar to a number of Jurassic-era dinosaurs (albeit with tripedal configurations rather than quadrupedal). Of particular note is that this instance is the first to suffer an extinction event. 3 months, 2 weeks and 4 days into the life of SCP-3044-1-247, a (comparatively) large asteroid struck the ground inside SCP-3044, wiping out all observable life within and leaving a deep crater into which the remaining liquids poured. Review of the recorded video footage shows the meteor materialising from the inside edge of SCP-3044, heading directly towards the centre of the landmass. This is the first time an event such as this has been observed. It is also worth noting that, despite the apparent force of this impact, SCP-3044 itself was undamaged. Subject: SCP-3044-1-256 Composition: Carbon, aluminium and copper make up the bulk of the soil, and the previously observed exotic matter was present in large amounts. Atmosphere of mainly nitrogen, and lakes of liquid methane also contain traces of exotic matter. Observations: Signs of life appeared nine hours after instantiation, and evolved incredibly quickly, and unusually directly, into a race of quadrupedal mammals that rapidly began displaying signs of sapience. Less than 24 hours after the creation of SCP-3044-1-256, the lifeforms within had already begun building structures and using tools, and six hours after that began showing signs of developing technology. They continued to progress at an incredibly advanced rate until, approximately 36 hours after instantiation, they began building a large structure which reached to the centre of SCP-3044, on top of which was a large, bulb like object. The bulb flashed a number of times in a constantly repeating pattern, until a Flash event occurred 47 minutes later. Later analysis revealed the flashes to be Morse Code, and translated to "HELP" repeated over and over. It is currently unknown how the lifeforms learned Morse Code, or how they were aware that there was anyone to communicate with outside of SCP-3044. Samples of the exotic matter disappeared at the time of the Flash event, as with the previous cases. Lifeforms in future instances of SCP-3044-1 that begin to show sapience, along with any instances containing any form of exotic matter, are now to be reported immediately to the Site Director. Footnotes 1. Ranging from between 10 hours to over 6 months, with an average of 1.4 months. 2. Typically 16-24 hours, though occasionally as early as 8 hours. 3. An environmentally sealed room measuring 1.2km on its longest axis, used when testing over significant distances is required in a controlled environment. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3044" by Mortos, from the SCP Wiki.

Item #: SCP-3045 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3045's installation package is to be stored on a flash-drive, which is to be kept in a secured locker on-site. Researchers may install SCP-3045 on an isolated computer for testing purposes. Once testing is concluded, this computer is to be destroyed (along with all of its peripheral components). Any computers, buildings, or facilities containing SCP-3045 must be TEMPEST-certified1. Under no circumstances should SCP-3045 be used on any media file that directly references bees. Description: SCP-3045 is an anomalous application ('bzzip.exe') that reduces the size of certain types of media (plain text, rich text, MOV, AVI, and MP4). It accomplishes this by producing a new file with trimmed, 'simplified' content. This file can then be reduced further; however, after a certain number of iterations, the result will be a file that contains little to no data. Additional attempts at reduction will only reproduce this final file.

FOREWORD: Researcher Rogers was tasked to watch each iteration and provide a summary of notable differences. Iteration 1 Iteration 2 Iteration 3 Iteration 4 Iteration 5 Iteration 6 Iteration 7 Iteration 8 MAIN CHARACTERS: Indiana Jones, Henry Jones, Elsa Schneider, Sallah, Walter Donovan, Colonel Vogel, Grail Knight SUMMARY: The movie opens with Walter Donovan asking Indiana to find the grail; he mentions that his father (Henry) was asked before him, but has since disappeared. Jones departs to Venice; there, he meets Elsa. Together, they discover the hidden knight's tomb that refers them to Alexandretta. Elsa and Indiana manage to rescue Indy's father at Castle Brunwald, only to be captured by Colonel Vogel. Elsa reveals herself to be a traitor. Indy and Henry escape, then — after meeting up with Sallah — fight against Nazi forces (defeating Colonel Vogel) on their way to Alexandretta. At the grail temple, Donovan reveals himself to have been a traitor and shoots Indy's father, forcing Indy to confront the three trials to save him. Once Indy passes these trials, Elsa and Donovan follow him. Confronted by the Grail Knight, Indy is told he must select the right grail — and that the grail cannot leave the temple. Donovan appears, and Elsa goads him into choosing the wrong grail (resulting in his death). Indy selects the right grail and uses it to heal his father. Elsa attempts to leave the temple with the grail, resulting in the temple's collapse (and her death). Indy, his father, and Sallah all ride off into the sunset. NOTABLE DIFFERENCES: Marcus Brody and Kazim are gone, as is the sub-plot with the Brotherhood of the Cruciform Sword. There is no mention of Henry's journal at any point in the story — they never go to Berlin to retrieve it, and never board a zeppelin to escape Germany. The entire opening sequence (with Indy pursuing the Cross of Coronado both as a teenager and as an adult) has been cut. The dialogue has been significantly simplified in many places, with extraneous dialogue mostly removed. RUN-TIME: 85 minutes MAIN CHARACTERS: Indiana Jones, Henry Jones, Elsa Schneider, Colonel Vogel, Grail Knight SUMMARY: The movie opens with Indiana meeting Elsa in Venice, where they discover the hidden knight's tomb and learn the grail is in Alexandretta. They decide to save Indy's father at Castle Brunwald, but Elsa betrays them to Colonel Vogel; they flee to Alexandretta. When Indy reaches the temple, Colonel Vogel takes the place of Walter Donovan — shooting Indy's father, then following him into the grail room (and being goaded by Elsa into choosing the wrong grail). Elsa once again attempts to leave the temple with the grail, resulting in its collapse; the movie ends with Indy and his father riding off into the sunset. NOTABLE DIFFERENCES: Walter Donovan and Sallah are gone, along with the tank battle. The three trials are now two trials (the 'Name of God' trial has been cut). RUN-TIME: 52 minutes MAIN CHARACTERS: Indiana Jones, Elsa Schneider, Colonel Vogel, Grail Knight SUMMARY: The movie opens with Indiana meeting Elsa in Venice, where he tells her he knows the grail's location: Alexandretta. Colonel Vogel suddenly steps out of Elsa's closet, revealing Elsa as a traitor. Indiana escapes, fleeing to Alexandretta; there, he's confronted by Elsa and Vogel again. Vogel shoots Elsa, forcing Indy to retrieve the grail. Indy retrieves two grails, giving the wrong one to Vogel (leading to Vogel's death). Indy uses the real grail to restore Elsa's life. Elsa attempts to leave with the grail; the temple collapses, and she dies. The movie ends with Indiana riding off alone into the sunset. NOTABLE DIFFERENCES: Henry Jones is gone; there is only one trial ("Leap of Faith"). The ending has a much more somber tone at the end, with Indiana saying nothing after Elsa's death. RUN-TIME: 17 minutes MAIN CHARACTERS: Indiana Jones, Elsa Schneider, Grail Knight SUMMARY: The movie opens with Indiana meeting Elsa in Venice, where he tells her he knows the grail's location: Alexandretta. They leave for Alexandretta, where Indy and Elsa enter the temple and retrieve the grail from the Grail Knight. Elsa attempts to leave with the grail, causing the temple to collapse (and leading to her death). Indiana rides off alone into the sunset. NOTABLE DIFFERENCES: Colonel Vogel is gone. There are no trials, and only one grail in the final room. The Grail Knight has only one line, where he warns them they cannot leave the temple with the grail. RUN-TIME: 6 minutes MAIN CHARACTERS: Indiana Jones, Grail Knight SUMMARY: The movie opens with Indiana entering the temple in Alexandretta. He encounters the Grail Knight, who informs him that the grail cannot be taken from the temple. Indiana thanks the Grail Knight for telling him this, then rides off into the sunset. NOTABLE DIFFERENCES: Elsa is gone. Indy has two lines ("I'm here for the grail", and "Thank you for telling me about the grail"); the Grail Knight has one ("The grail cannot leave this temple"). RUN-TIME: 1 minute MAIN CHARACTERS: Indiana Jones SUMMARY: The movie opens with Indiana riding on a horse in the desert, reading from a book. He reads: "The Holy Grail cannot be removed from the temple in Alexandretta." He closes the book, looks at the temple in front of him, nods solemnly — then turns around and rides off into the sunset. RUN-TIME: Less than 1 minute MAIN CHARACTERS: Indiana Jones SUMMARY: The movie opens (and ends) with Indiana riding off into the sunset. RUN-TIME: Less than 15 seconds MAIN CHARACTERS: None SUMMARY: The movie consists of a black screen with a soft buzzing sound. RUN-TIME: 3 seconds ► ACCESS SCP:/3045/files/test3.log ▼ Close File DESCRIPTION: A plain text file containing the entirety of Samuel Becket's tragicomedy, Waiting for Godot.

Still waiting. bzzz ► ACCESS SCP:/3045/files/test4.log ▼ Close File DESCRIPTION: A MOV file containing the entirety of Bee Movie, an animated film by DreamWorks Animation. FOREWORD: Researcher Xiao-jin was tasked to watch each iteration and provide a summary of notable differences. Iteration 1 Iteration 2 Iteration 3 Iteration 4 Iteration 5 MAIN CHARACTERS: Barry B. Benson, Vanessa Bloome, Ken, Pollen Jocks SUMMARY: Barry B. Benson (a bee) is a non-conformist who has just graduated college. Spurning the job assigned to him by bee-society, he goes out with a group of 'Pollen Jocks' (also bees), where he encounters Vanessa (a human florist) and Ken (her boyfriend). Ken attempts to kill him, but Vanessa saves his life. Barry later returns and expresses his thanks to Vanessa; the two begin a relationship. After Barry discovers that humans harvest honey from bees, he sues the human race — and, after a series of mishaps, wins the trial. However, as a result of having too much honey (?), bees all lose their jobs — resulting in flowers all over the world dying out. Barry and Vanessa travel to a city in California where the only remaining flowers survive, and steal a parade float full of flowers (??) so bees can use them to re-pollinate the world. Barry and the other bees use the flowers to reverse the damage, and the movie ends with all the bees working together with the humans. NOTABLE DIFFERENCES: None. RUN-TIME: 97 minutes MAIN CHARACTERS: (see previous) SUMMARY: Barry B. Benson works with the 'Pollen Jocks' to gather pollen for Vanessa (who is now a human-sized bee). Ken (still a human) is in a relationship with Vanessa, and becomes jealous of the attention Barry receives for being so good at fetching pollen. Ken attacks Barry, but Barry and the Pollen Jocks swarm him and sting him to death. They all die afterward, but a new group of bees (with identical faces and names) quickly arrive to take their place. Vanessa appears alright with this; she shows New!Barry the same attention she gave Dead!Barry. The movie goes on with New!Barry suing the humans for stealing their honey — but near the end, the jury and judge are revealed to now all be Ken. The trial ends with New!Barry and a swarm of bees swooping up and stinging the jury and judge to death. A New!New!Barry arrives, and — together with Vanessa — they travel to California to steal the parade boat of flowers and use it to expand their hive all over the world. The movie ends like the previous iteration, except all the humans are now human-sized bees too (for some reason?). NOTABLE DIFFERENCES: This is almost a completely different movie. It's definitely not for kids anymore. The deaths are cartoonish, but still kind of gruesome. RUN-TIME: 98 minutes MAIN CHARACTERS: (see previous) SUMMARY: Effectively the same plot, except Ken's death (both early on and in the court scene) is more extensive, more gruesome, and takes more time. NOTABLE DIFFERENCES: Everyone except for Ken is now a bee. All scenes where Ken is stung to death now involve multiple human-sized bees stinging him (and dying in the process). All the dialogue in the movie (except for Ken's, which mostly consists of screaming) has been replaced with buzzing noises. RUN-TIME: 107 minutes MAIN CHARACTERS: Ken, bees (?) SUMMARY: The movie consists of an above-view image of Ken writhing in an ocean of bees. Every time he opens his mouth, hundreds of bees pour into it. By the end of the film, his body has become swollen with venom from thousands of stingers; his facial features have all but vanished beneath a dozen fist-sized pustules oozing with pus. Blind and helpless, his screams are now just muffled, gurgling sobs. He appears to spend the last few minutes of the movie suffocating as his throat finally swells shut — only to finally sink out of sight. NOTABLE DIFFERENCES: The film has become live-action; the bees are just normal honey-bees, and Ken is now portrayed by the actor who voiced him (Patrick Warburton). RUN-TIME: 278 minutes NOTE: At this point, further testing was discontinued on account of Researcher Xiao-jin's computer inexplicably filling with bees. Special containment procedures updated to prohibit any tests on media containing direct references to bees. Addendum 3045.2: Recovery On 16-02-2010, a Foundation-operated web-analysis bot (I/O-SAURON) flagged several large-scale online purchases made by a California startup company ("HiveFind") as suspicious. The company's website claimed it provided "next generation algorithms, client-centric solutions, and cutting edge compression software". Three days later, MTF Mu-4 ("Debuggers") performed a raid on the offices of HiveFind. Although the building had been recently abandoned, they found several pieces of equipment: 14 large-scale QR scanners, 15 desktop computers, and over 900 gallons of stored honey. After detailed analysis, Mu-4 determined that each QR scanner had been wired to provide control over one computer. SCP-3045 was found on one of the computer's hard-drives. A later search uncovered over 50 dead (non-anomalous) instances of Apis mellifera (American honey-bee) spread throughout the office. Investigations into HiveFind are ongoing. Footnotes 1.

SCP-3046 | safe | Item #: SCP-3046 Secure Containment Procedures: SCP-3046 is to be contained in a 60 cm3 cubic containment locker at Site 38. No individuals other than selected D-class personnel should come into physical contact with SCP-3046. Selected individuals are to be provided with a bank account routing number with contents between $500-600. A cellular phone programmed with SCP-3046-A's number is to be kept in the possession of testing individuals at all times. Instances of SCP-3046 should not be permitted to grow beyond a volume of five (5) cubic meters. Discovery of any uncontained instance of SCP-3046 is to be countered through the completion of Procedure 419-Abuja using Foundation funds, followed by the use of Class-B amnestics on any affected or involved civilians. Description: SCP-3046 is a spiked purple ball, closely resembling products of the █████████ line of toys. Eight instances, designated SCP-3046-1 through -8, have been recovered to date. SCP-3046 is of indeterminate make; while balls of similar appearance are composed principally of rubber, it is not possible to determine the object's tactile properties due to its anomalous effects. During testing, SCP-3046 registers a Mohs hardness rating of 10, at least equivalent to diamond. Likewise, the object has proven impenetrable to traditional methods of subsurface scanning, including X-rays and magnetic resonance imaging techniques. In an undisturbed state, SCP-3046 has a diameter of 5.2 cm. When not being touched, SCP-3046 remains in a fixed position in whatever location it last inhabited while being touched. SCP-3046 is immovable except during human contact.1 When a human is in contact with SCP-3046, the object will become mobile; however, it will also begin perpetually growing in size.2 Additionally, SCP-3046 will adhere to any exposed human skin; no means of separating skin from SCP-3046 has yet been determined. During growth, SCP-3046 is capable of breaking through any matter used to contain it, including reinforced concrete and steel of any thickness. The ball will not distort from its spherical shape in any way. Due to this growth, SCP-3046 will have a volume of 8.46x105 cubic centimeters after fifteen minutes, approximately twice the volume of a beach ball. At thirty minutes, the ball will have a volume of twenty-seven (27) cubic meters. Between five and fifteen minutes of SCP-3046 coming into contact with a human, the nearest cellular telephone to SCP-3046 will ring; the individual on the other end of the call will request to be put on the line with the individual holding SCP-3046. The voice is designated SCP-3046-A; it is described as female with a particularly nasal New England accent. The voice will refuse to speak to anyone not in contact with SCP-3046. Once in contact with the affected individual, the voice will describe itself as a representative of an unspecified organization or group and offer to remotely separate SCP-3046 from the individual in exchange for money, goods, or services. Currencies accepted to date by SCP-3046-A include all major world currencies, publicly traded goods or materials, or technetium, in an amount varying between $475 and $510; the value is believed to be constant in some unknown currency and varies due to a conversion rate. Once affected individuals agree to the terms of payment, SCP-3046 separates and decreases in size. Unmarked trucks or vehicles will appear at the location of the agreed-upon good and take delivery of it within ten minutes; no attempts to prevent the taking of possession of the given materials have been successful to date, though the Foundation has not had the opportunity to experiment with this phenomenon. SCP-3046-A has demonstrated an unknown ability to know when an affected individual is attempting to claim to be in possession of a material falsely. Should an affected individual fail to have any acceptable form of payment, they are offered to complete an unspecified form of labor for the benefit of SCP-3046-A. Once the individual agrees, SCP-3046 separates and decreases in size. The form of labor in all recorded instances has taken the form of asking the individual to travel to a nearby location, where they find a cardboard box full of nuts and bolts composed entirely of technetium (according to SCP-3046); the individuals will then receive a phone call instructing them to thread all of the nuts onto the bolts. Once all nuts are threaded, the individuals are instructed to leave the area. It should be noted that any individual testing SCP-3046 in Foundation custody has not been provided with any option other than paying in United States dollars (USD), as SCP-3046-A demonstrates a knowledge of the Foundation's ability to pay the requested fee. Once payment is complete, individuals separate from SCP-3046 and the iteration rapidly reduces in size to normal. SCP-3046-A has proved cooperative in containment and removal of SCP-3046 instances, so long as payment is forthcoming. SCP-3046-A has shown an extensive and unknown knowledge of Foundation locations, protocols, and other sensitive information3. Addendum 3046-1: Transcripts of recorded calls Log 3046-12: First recorded transcript of SCP-3046-A contact. Affected individual identified as David Carter, 17 years old, convenience store clerk living in Clarksburg, TN. Carter: H-hello? Who is this? SCP-3046-A: Hello, Mr. Carter, this is [static] calling from the [static] Corporation, I'm told that you've come into contact with one of our products, is that correct? Carter: T-the ball? SCP-3046-A: Yes, product type TH-223, iteration 41. We apologize sincerely for any inconvenience this malfunction may have caused and we hope it does not impact your future dealings with [static] Corporation. Now, would you like to discuss removal packages? Carter: You mean getting this thing off me? Yes, of course! SCP-3046-A: Okay, sir, I have our removal packages pulled up here. We can do a temporary growth delay by remote-I'm sure you've noticed the TH-223 model's tendency towards slight enlargement in contact with human flesh by now- but our most popular package is the total separation. Would you be interested in a total separation from the unit? Carter: C'mon, you gotta get this thing off me! SCP-3046-A: Okay, sir, I understand, please have some patience while I select this option for you. Now, we can do an in-house removal at no charge, but I'm seeing on my screen that your location [extended static] supersonic flight, so we're gonna have to do the remote option. Cost in American dollars at your location comes to $494.25. Will you be paying cash, check, credit, or other? Lengthy exchange redacted due to irrelevance and use of expletives. Mr. Carter refused payment and terminated the call. Fifteen minutes later, Mr. Carter used directory assistance to call SCP-3046-A and agreed to payment through a combination of funds accessed through a checking account and manual labor threading technetium bolts onto nuts. Why this satisfied SCP-3046-A was unknown. Log 3046-87: An example of a log created during testing of SCP-3046 in Foundation custody. Test subject is D-15544 and has access to a Foundation-issue cellular phone and a bank account routing number. D-15544 has been given instructions as to how to complete testing. SCP-3046-A: Hello, sir, this is [static] with [static] Corporation. I see from this screen that you're calling from Foundation Containment Site 38. Please give my regards to Director ███████ on his birthday. Would you like to access the usual account to pay for the total removal package? D-15544: Yes, ma'am. SCP-3046-A: Total will be $498.22. Please let me know when to execute the removal. end log Footnotes 1. This immovability is, of course, fixed to the Earth's location and velocity at any given time. 2. SCP-3046 growth is represented by the equation y=v+x5.04, where v=starting volume, x=number of minutes since contact, y=volume after x minutes. Volume measured in cm3 at all points. The significance of the exponent in this equation, if any, is unknown. 3.

SCP-3047 | safe | SCP-3047, prior to containment. Item #: SCP-3047 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3047 is to be held at Containment Hangar 4 at Site-06-3. Personnel entering SCP-3047 are to don scuba gear prior to entry. An instance of Carangoides coeruleopinnatus (coastal trevally) utilised for exploration of SCP-3047. Exploration of the range of SCP-3047's anomalous effect is to be conducted with the aid of a stenohaline1 fish. Fishes used for exploration of SCP-3047 may only be removed from their container (which is to be filled with water suitable for the fish's survival) when both the fish and container are inside SCP-3047. Description: SCP-3047 is an NSB Di 4 diesel-electric locomotive. SCP-3047's exterior, engine, and all items held in the locomotive are non-anomalous. The chemical composition and viscosity of air samples taken from SCP-3047's interior are identical to those of air under room temperature and pressure. SCP-3047's anomalous effect is observable when at least one organism of the kingdom Animalia is in the locomotive's interior. When a terrestrial animal is in SCP-3047's interior, it undergoes respiration impairment comparable to drowning. If not removed from SCP-3047, said organism will eventually expire. The use of scuba apparatus is capable of preventing respiration problems on the terrestrial animal's part. When a stenohaline freshwater aquatic animal is in SCP-3047's interior, it will suffer from rapid loss of water and eventually expire via dehydration. Conversely, when either a stenohaline saltwater aquatic animal or euryhaline2 aquatic animal (both saltwater and freshwater) are in SCP-3047's interior, they undergo normal respiration. Exploration of SCP-3047's interior reveals five regions of space within the fourth passenger car which do not possess the anomalous effects of SCP-3047. Each of these regions of space comprise five lines, three of which converge together at one end while two of which are parallel lines. Due to the size and dimensions of said regions of space, most terrestrial animals will be unable to utilise them for respiration. SCP-3047 was discovered in Nord-Trøndelag, Norway on ██/██/2011. Following the locomotive's failure to arrive at Muruvik Station from Hell Station, law enforcement officials attempted to locate SCP-3047. One of the officials reported that all passengers and staff in the locomotive were deceased and his colleagues died after being inside SCP-3047 for several minutes. The Foundation later confiscated SCP-3047 from Norwegian authorities under the claim that it contained a biological agent, and a cover story regarding an avalanche that struck SCP-3047 was circulated on public channels. Addendum 3047-1: Among deceased passengers found in SCP-3047, an unidentified female individual found in the locomotive's fourth passenger car is shown to possess non-human anatomy, particularly the presence of gills and a layer of scales underneath the human skin. Thus, the cadaver is currently classified as AI-█████. Cause of death is identified to be a puncture wound to the head by way of a small object. Additionally, five lacerations seemingly from a five digit claw are found throughout the body. Due to the size and number of said lacerations, they are speculated to have constituted a mortal wound. Noteworthy personal effects recovered from AI-█████ include the following: A pouch containing red feathers with sharpened hollow shafts. When the feathers are held by a hand for at least three seconds and then released, they travel at a constant velocity of 700 m/s regardless of the force applied onto the feather and air resistance. One of these feathers is stained with blood matching that of AI-█████. The feathers have since been reclassified separately as AI-███. A map of Norway with several locales circled and scribbled in an unknown language derived from Ogham. Translation is ongoing. Circled locales correspond to Utøya, Beisfjord, and Rognan among others. Pending further investigations. Footnotes 1. Inability to withstand wide variation of salinity in surrounding water. 2. Ability to withstand wide variation of salinity in surrounding water. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3047" by MrWrong, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3048 | safe | A major component of SCP-3048's diet Item #: SCP-3048 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3048 is to reside in a standard humanoid containment cell. Approved reading materials and entertainment devices are to be provided and may be rotated out on a monthly basis. To better accommodate the anomaly's diet, a small refrigeration unit should be maintained within the containment room. The entity is currently housed at Site-06-3. Meals containing 3-5 items named in Document #3048-03 should be provided three times daily. Dietary supplements must be provided with these rations. No beverages or unapproved edible substances should accompany any meal. The entity may request certain items to be included in its next meal; these must be approved by the senior researcher in charge of its case, currently Dr. Florence Daley. As the entity is incapable of consuming beverages, it must be provided hydration via intravenous line. Authorized medical personnel may enter the containment cell to perform tasks related to the maintenance of this several times per day. Description: SCP-3048 is a middle-aged human male of European descent possessing ginger hair and gray eyes. Its height has been measured at 1.64 meters and its mass most recently at 46.3 kilograms. The entity has expressed preference for the name "Reuben Moretti", but it is equally responsive to the designation SCP-3048. Upon initial recovery, the anomaly was described as moderately emaciated. It has since regained 10 kg of body mass under the prolonged care of the Foundation. Medical examiners now consider the entity slightly malnourished. The entity's primary anomalous trait is its inability to imbibe most forms of food and beverage. Drinkable liquids, when brought near the entity's mouth, spontaneously evaporate. No change in temperature or pressure surrounding this event has been observed. Edible substances not listed under document #3048-03 exhibit a variety of anomalous characteristics when within a 20-30 cm radius of the anomaly's mouth. The most common characteristics of these substances, as noted by Foundation researchers, are spontaneous combustion and temporary loss of the properties of friction. SCP-3048 was recovered 18/01/2017 on a partially-developed Mediterranean island 90 km off the coast of Turkey. It is believed that the anomalous entity remained the sole resident there between the years of 1602 and 2005. With additional investigation, it has been determined that the island itself is non-anomalous. Foundation operatives first noticed the entity while it was in the employ of a health resort venture on the island. The health resort had been established there in 2005 by a Greek tourism company. When pressed to explain how it came to speak fluent modern English, the anomaly claimed to have been taught the language by ████ McLoughlin, its shift manager at the resort hotel. The anomaly has asserted that it arrived on the island after becoming shipwrecked. Historical records and recent diving expeditions have verified the existence of a shipwreck in the location and of the name given. A list of 53 persons who departed from Venice in late 1601 on the lost ship ███████ was recovered from a museum in Northern Ireland. Two persons listed on the ship manifest are of current interest to Foundation researchers. One is a 41 year old man by the name of Reuben Moretti, who was hired as the vessel's cook. The other is a 17 year old boy listed as Teo-Carlo Moretti. SCP-3048 has not previously mentioned relatives accompanying it on its shipwrecked voyage. + Show Documents #3048-01 and -02 - Hide Documents #3048-01 and -02 Document #3048-01: Transcript of an interview with SCP-3048 shortly after its arrival at Site-06-3 Interviewed: SCP-3048 Interviewer: Senior researcher Dr. Florence Daley, licensed medical practitioner and nutritionist Foreword: Transportation of SCP-3048 to the facility was delayed three hours due to inclement weather. Near the end of this delay, the anomaly discovered its ability to consume highly processed foods. It is believed that SCP-3048 did not have the opportunity to interact with processed foods prior to this as a result of its employment in the kitchen of a hotel that used only whole ingredients. Due to the distress exhibited by the entity when personnel confiscated its snacks, SCP-3048 was permitted to continue eating during its interview. <Begin Log, 18/01/2017 at 4:34 pm> Dr. Daley: Good afternoon, SCP-3048. My name is Dr. Daley. I'll be overseeing your case. [The anomaly pauses while chewing.] SCP-3048: 'm sorry, what? My name's Reuben Moretti. Dr. Daley: Your designation here at the Foundation is SCP-3048. I don't mean to sound threatening, but your stay will be much more pleasant if you decide to cooperate with us. SCP-3048: Oh. Sure, whatever. Dr. Daley: Alright. Could you tell me how long—? [The anomaly grabs a can of Cheez Whiz from the table and squirts approximately 0.2 liters into its mouth. Dr. Daley wears an expression of disgust.] SCP-3048: Mmm! Good Lord, I love the 21st century! [The anomaly proceeds to consume between six and twelve large marshmallows.] Dr. Daley: Pardon me, but do you realize how unhealthy that is? SCP-3048: [Unintelligible response] Dr. Daley: I understand you're suffering from severe malnutrition, but eating this much high-calorie content at once… you won't be able to stomach it! [The anomaly chews and swallows.] SCP-3048: Doc, I've been starving since 1602. I don't give a damn right now. Dr. Daley: Since… 1602? But the island you were on had fresh water and a variety of edible fruit. And you've been employed in a kitchen for the past decade. [The anomaly reaches for a glass of water. The water vanishes from the glass as it is brought to the anomaly's mouth. Sensors indicate that the humidity inside the room increases simultaneously. SCP-3048 appears disappointed.] SCP-3048: Yeah. Between the lake and the groves, the island had everything. But the water receded whenever I tried to take a drink… and the fruit was always just out of reach. Dr. Daley: You mean like Tantalus? SCP-3048: And I was cooking for goddamn whole-food health nuts at the resort. This processed stuff? Now this is where it's at. Dr. Daley: But what you're eating is barely even food. SCP-3048: Exactly! [The anomaly opens a second package and consumes the contents of a lime Jell-O cup. It offers another to Dr. Daley.] SCP-3048: Oh, I'm in heaven. Want one? [Dr. Daley sighs.] Dr. Daley: No, thank you. [She turns to face security personnel and addresses them] Dr. Daley: Let's end this here for now. Bring over that wastebasket and stay with the anomaly. I need to prepare an IV line and saline drip for after he vomits everything he's been eating in the past two hours. <End Log, 18/01/2017 at 4:40 pm> Closing Statement: SCP-3048 regurgitated 1.35 L of partially digested gelatin-based foods and Cheez Whiz. The entity did not resist Dr. Daley's insertion of an intravenous line in its left arm. Document #3048-02: Transcript of second interview with SCP-3048 Interviewed: SCP-3048 Interviewer: Senior researcher Dr. Florence Daley Foreword: Dr. Daley volunteered to change the entity's IV bag while conducting a second interview simultaneously. <Begin Log, 19/01/2017 at 9:48 am> Dr. Daley: Hello again, SCP-3048. I'm here to start your first saline drip of the day. We've got to get you re-hydrated as much as we need to get you fed. SCP-3048: … Hey. Daley, right? Dr. Daley: It's Doctor Daley. SCP-3048: Yeah, well, the last doctor I took anything from got chased outta town because boiled sheep urine didn't cure the pox. Dr. Daley: Yes, well, medical science has come a long way since the 17th century. It's a science now, for one thing. Did you sleep well in your new accommodations? SCP-3048: I slept blah. This place is boring. Can I at least get a room with windows? Dr. Daley: Good behavior might earn you a chamber at ground level. SCP-3048: What? Is this a hospital or a prison? Dr. Daley: It's a lot of both and neither. SCP-3048: … You know what? I don't really care. For the first time in 400 years, my mouth doesn't feel like sandpaper. And those suits from yesterday gave me stuff I can actually eat. I'm down with whatever you guys want me to do. Dr. Daley: So we have your cooperation? SCP-3048: I s'pose so. Dr. Daley: I'm glad to hear that. <End Log, 19/01/2017 at 9:52 am> Closing Statement: SCP-3048 has readily cooperated with the Foundation in most cases and has proven highly amenable to Dr. Daley in particular. Its transfer from subterranean holdings to a ground-level containment cell is currently pending. Document #3048-03: A list of foods which SCP-3048 is capable of consuming. For a record of how the contents of this document were determined, see Experiment Log #3048-1. Meat1 and dairy products: Cheez Whiz and variations thereof Some forms of nacho cheese sauce Most brands of whipped cream Very thick protein shakes Fruit and vegetable products: Maraschino cherries Carbohydrates: Pop-tarts Cheetos Cheesy poofs Other: Jell-O Artificially-flavored fruit snacks Gummy candies Marshmallows2 Dietary supplements in the form of pills or capsules + Show excerpt from Experiment Log #3048-1 - Hide excerpt from Experiment Log #3048-1 TEST LOG FORMAT Edible substance: Method of consumption: Result: Notes: Test 1 Edible substances: Cheez Whiz, marshmallows, and Jell-O Method of consumption: Standard Result: Success Notes: This was a natural experiment that occurred after the anomaly was taken into Foundation custody but prior to its arrival at Site-06-3. Test 2 Edible substance: Fried pork skins Method of consumption: Standard Result: Spontaneous combustion Notes: This was a natural experiment that occurred after the anomaly was taken into Foundation custody but prior to its arrival at Site-06-3. My word, Agent Matthews has terrible eating habits. — Dr. Daley Test 4 Edible substance: Fruit snacks labeled organic Method of consumption: Standard Result: Loss of friction Notes: The fruit snacks handled normally until they were brought within about 25 cm of its mouth. Then they started sliding like they were made of squishy ice. It didn't matter whether it was the anomaly trying to feed itself or us trying to feed it, the laws of physics stopped working for the fruit snacks while they were within range. Everyone kept dropping them. — Dr. Daley Intent doesn't have anything to do with it either. Trying to stick fruit snacks in the anomaly's ears doesn't work any better than trying to stick them in its mouth. — Dr. Daley Test 5 Edible substance: Fruit snacks labeled organic Method of consumption: 40 cm drop Result: Spontaneous combustion Notes: This experiment was recorded with a slow-motion capture camera. Playback of the recording revealed that combustion began at 30 cm from the anomaly's mouth. The tested substance was wholly incinerated by the time it reached 20 cm. Addendum #3048-1: SCP-3048 has been highly compliant to the Foundation's wishes since its arrival. I find myself disinclined to gamble this willing cooperation by questioning the entity about a teenager's name on a 400 year old manifest. Yes, we know the myth of Tantalus and what he did to merit his punishment; however, any parallels that the myth may share with the entity's history hardly have any bearing on our current research. This having been said, if anyone absolutely has to interrogate the anomaly about that aspect of its past, please do so with low-grade amnestics on hand. — Dr. Daley + Level 3 security clearance required - Access granted Proposal: Experiment #3048-2 Message Recipients: O5 Council; Ethics Committee; Site-06-3 Director Date: 13/02/2017 Details: Medical examination, genetic sequencing, and tissue sampling over the course of the past two weeks have revealed nothing anomalous in SCP-3048's physiology. Whatever lies behind the entity's longevity and its capacity to survive without nutrition and hydration remains as of yet unknown. It may better benefit the Foundation's research to see SCP-3048 returned to a state of health before continuing tests. I propose a long-term experiment with the following investigation plan: Establish a healthy weight and lack of nutrient deficiencies as the control state for SCP-3048. Begin regular medical examinations and tissue sampling. Test the effects of a single independent variable at a time. Record observations over a period long enough that symptoms become static. Allow SCP-3048 to return to control state prior to start of next trial. Some variables to investigate in this experiment may include water, vitamin C, iodine, and other vital nutrients. I believe these variables to be preferable for two reasons, one being the well-documented symptoms a non-anomalous human body experiences when deprived of such substances. The other reason is the ease with which we are able to manipulate the contents of SCP-3048's dietary supplements without its knowledge. From the desk of Dr. Florence Daley. Secure. Contain. Protect. ██/02/2017: Experiment #3048-2 has been approved. — O5-██. Footnotes 1. Researchers have yet to identify any form of meat product, excluding gelatin, which SCP-3048 is capable of consuming. 2. SCP-3048 is unable to consume the granulated sugar coating of Peeps and similar sweets. Foundation personnel and SCP-3048 alike have expressed distaste for the task of cleaning the resulting mess. Sugar-coated foods should not be included among the entity's rations. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3048" by rioludoodle, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3049 | safe | SCP-3049 in its active state at the site of initial recovery Item #: SCP-3049 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3049 is to remain fixed in place within a standard secure storage room. Its heat control knobs should be removed when not in use. Testing of the object has been halted indefinitely by order of the Ethics Committee. Personnel who have utilized SCP-3049 or partaken in SCP-3049-1 and currently possess knowledge of the object's anomalous properties must receive psychological evaluation and/or amnestics before returning to active duty. Description: SCP-3049 is a gas-powered convection oven of standard consumer dimensions. It possesses a white gloss finish on its frame, a glass oven door, and an aluminum handle. SCP-3049 exhibits an anomalous physical feature in the form of a setting labeled "Apple Pie" beneath its center dial. In its active state, SCP-3049 generates a miniaturized universe inside its oven cavity. This new universe, designated SCP-3049-1, operates on a hyper-accelerated timescale such that an estimated 15 billion years within it equates to 30 minutes outside of it. SCP-3049-1, from its Big Bang to its death, is observable through the oven door. Neither opening the oven door to interrupt this process nor operation of the stove-top seems to be possible during an active cycle. None of the complications associated with matter operating on a sub-Planck length scale have been observed; the laws of physics and universal constants within the miniature universe appear to function normally. The reason for this unexpected continuity of Newtonian physics remains unknown. The perspective observable through SCP-3049's door does not remain constant throughout the lifespan of an SCP-3049-1 universe. SCP-3049 has frequently been observed to adjust its magnification to follow major developments in the formation and expansion of the universe, such as the creation of the first stars, black holes, and galaxies. These perspective shifts have been described as "cinematic" and "like scenes from that Cosmos documentary". SCP-3049-1 instances are also [DATA REDACTED]. + Document #3049-01 - Document #3049-01 Document #3049-01: Discovery log Field operative: Agent Rembrandt Anderson Subject: Mrs. ████ Taylor <Begin Log> Agent Anderson: Afternoon, Mrs. Taylor. Mrs. Taylor: To you too, Mr… Anderson, is it? Mind if I call you Rembrandt? Agent Anderson: Yes, that's correct, and I don't mind at all. May I come in? Mrs. Taylor: Oh, of course, dearie. Let me take you to the kitchen, where the oven is. [Anderson enters the household.] Agent Anderson: Please, lead the way. I understand that you've been having issues with this device not functioning as intended? Mrs. Taylor: Yes, I certainly have! I swear, that hooligan grandson of mine and his delinquent friends must have done this to my oven as some practical joke. I think they installed a screen and a… a secret compartment of some sort. But my eyes aren't so good anymore, so it's rather difficult for me to tell. Agent Anderson: What exactly is it that the oven does which seems unusual? Mrs. Taylor: Well, you see… I always let it preheat before I bake… But recently, after I do that, the door gets stuck and I can't turn it off until it's done playing. [Anderson and the subject arrive in the kitchen.] Agent Anderson: Until what's done playing? Mrs. Taylor: One of those outer space documentaries with all the new-fangled special effects. It plays in this glass door right here… Oh, just let me turn it on and show you, John. Agent Anderson: My name isn't— well, nevermind. Go ahea — Oh. Wow. [SCP-3049 enters its active state.] Mrs. Taylor: You see what I mean, darling? I can only bake without preheating now, with whatever they've done to my oven. Agent Anderson: Yes, I see what you mean. Don't worry, Mrs. Taylor, the company will replace your oven right away. I promise you won't even know it's missing. Mrs. Taylor: Thank you, Kevin. Agent Anderson: I'm just doing my job. Now, if you wouldn't mind, could you step out of the shot so I can take some pictures of the malfunctioning device? For insurance purposes, you understand. Mrs. Taylor: Oh, no problem at all. Excuse me… [The subject exits the kitchen and moves toward the dining room. Anderson uses his phone to take several photos of SCP-3049 in its active state. The subject returns while carrying pastry.] Mrs. Taylor: Would you like some apple pie, darling? Agent Anderson: Oh no, I couldn't. Mrs. Taylor: Please have some, Jacob dear. I can be rather absent minded while baking. I swear I have twice the amount that I know what to do with. [Anderson takes a slice of apple pie.] Agent Anderson: Thank you, ma'am… Mm, this is some good pie! Any chance I could get a little bit to go? I bet the installation guys'll clean you all outta this product when they get here. You're a great baker. Mrs. Taylor: Thank you! You're such a sweetheart, Brian. Let me get you the rest of the dish — you can keep the whole thing. I don't usually like to bake in glass pans, and I doubt whoever gave me this one would mind a bit of re-gifting. <End Log> Closing Statement: SCP-3049 was recovered from Mrs. Taylor's suburban home without incident. The subject's oven was replaced with a non-anomalous version of identical make. Low-grade amnestics were successfully administered. - Document #3049-01 + Level 3 clearance required - Document #3049-02 Document #3049-02: Excerpt from The Life Cycle of SCP-3049-1 Universes, by Dr. Riley Cadence. At approximately 20 minutes (10 billion years) into the life cycle of SCP-3049-1, the perspective displayed by SCP-3049 diverges from previously observed patterns, the frame of reference becoming scaled to a single star late in its formation process. The type of star on which the object becomes fixated varies, but it has been noted in the majority of cases to be an astronomical body similar in size, temperature, and composition to the sun. During and after the star's formation, SCP-3049 gradually transitions its display's focus to the development of an Earth-like planet occupying the circumstellar habitable zone. At some point after the planet has cooled enough for liquid water to cover portions of its surface, SCP-3049's perspective shifts to follow the development of carbon-based life. Lifeforms within SCP-3049-1 evolve to live on land in 60% of observed cases. Intelligent life arises on the habitable planet and subsequently becomes the dominant species. After these sentient beings begin to construct complex civilizations, the timescale of the universe suddenly decelerates so that an estimated 1,000 years within SCP-3049-1 equates to 1 minute outside. The sentient lifeforms become technologically advanced and, in 70% of observed cases, space-faring. It is usually at this point that the dominant civilization on the planet creates self-replicating molecular nanotechnology with reality-bending properties, an invention henceforth designated SCP-3049-2. SCP-3049-2 immediately engages in ecophagy — the consumption of its environment — resulting in a "Grey Goo" scenario which terminates its planet, solar system, and galaxy of origin. The nanotechnology rapidly propagates throughout the remainder of the universe while absorbing all matter into itself. This process culminates in a YK-class end-of-reality event in which the entirety of the SCP-3049-1 universe is converted into an apple pie nested inside a glass baking dish. A fresh SCP-3049-1 instance . . . . . . . . . . . . . - Document #3049-02 Addendum: Shortly after the submission of her report, Dr. Cadence requested psychological evaluation and a project transfer. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3049" by rioludoodle, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3050 | safe | SCP-3050's exterior Item #: SCP-3050 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3050's doors and windows have all been fitted with 9 centimeter thick solid steel padlocks, with fitted iron bars covering all exteriors. SCP-3050 is also monitored by security cameras placed across the perimeter, broadcasting live feed to Site-38. In the event of civilian discovery or containment breach, Mobile Task Force Psi-7 "Home Improvement" is to be dispatched to assess the situation and reestablish containment. SCP-3050's activation events are to be attributed to the local Foundation-owned S██-██ weapons testing facility. At the beginning of activation, any personnel within the building are to evacuate within the 15 seconds allotted time period. Any personnel unable to escape within this time period are encouraged to make use of their issued cyanide tablets. Addendum 4.24.17: On 3/16/██, two civilians were caught within SCP-3050 during its activation event after having seen a prior event and investigating. A 2.5 meter tall containment wall has been constructed around SCP-3050 per order of O5-██ to prevent further information and containment breaches. Description: SCP-3050 is a large abandoned complex located in W████, North Carolina, previously known as the "Ogden School." SCP-3050's interior consists of typical furniture and appliances found in American schools between 1960-1976. SCP-3050 remains inert until its activation event, which occurs at random intervals any time of year. Preceding each activation, SCP-3050 will resound a 137 decibel alarm from an unknown source from within the facility for exactly 15 seconds. Following the alarm, all doors and windows close and are unable to be opened until the event has concluded. Upon closer investigation, "locked" exits fuse at the atomic level to walls and floors. From the exterior, all windows output a bright red light measured at an estimated 2,000 lumens. However, photon degradation occurs at .74 meters1 within the perimeter of the facility; thereby limiting area of effect. Research regarding this anomalous light is ongoing. During the main phase of the event, all non-anomalous living human matter within SCP-3050 is reconstructed at the atomic level by means of selective reality degradation. This effect is achieved by means of precise anti-hume generators located in facilities constructed by Alexylva University. SCP-3050's event can last anywhere from 4 minutes to 2 hours. Testing logs and accounts state that the experience is painless. However, there is no consistency to the order in which body parts are reconstructed (or in the case of multiple subjects, which is reconstructed first.) Subjects undergoing reconstruction do not bleed or show wounds; all reconstructed body parts leave behind patched skin similar to post-amputation limbs. Individuals reconstructed by SCP-3050 (designated SCP-3050-A) are integrated with objects and surfaces within the facility. Test logs and witness accounts prove that instances of SCP-3050-A are fully aware and retain most senses upon integration. Research concerning the termination of these individuals or a way to revert this effect is currently underway. Addendum 5.17/██:"Destruction of objects containing SCP-3050-A instances does not result in death of subject. Poor bastard, we broke the chair…him. His pieces just won't stop screaming…" -Dr. Subin Upon completion of the event, all doors and windows unbind from their respective frame and a 110 decibel sound resembling wind chimes resounds from an unknown source outside the complex. SCP-3050 will stay inert for a minimum of 24 hours following the event. Exploration is only to be undertaken during this 24 hour grace period. Exploration Log: Date: 1/20/████ Subjects: D-19910, a political prisoner with experience in urban exploration Equipment: One (1) Polaroid 600 printing camera. One (1) Kant reality measuring device. One (1) flashlight. One (1) standard Foundation field ration. One (1) standard issue pager. One (1) item retrieval pack. <Begin log> Dr. Owens: Testing, testing- one, two, three. Can you hear me? D-19910: Loud and clear. I'm entering the main hallway. Nothing in the foyer here. Dr. Owens: Does anything seem out of the ordinary, D-19910? What is your meter reading? D-19910: It's at one…"hume." Is that heat? Dr. Owens: Ignore that. Continue exploring the facility. <D-19910 continues exploring the facility for [7.5] minutes. Nonessential content redacted.> D-19910: Doc, I'm hearing noises. Sounds like whispering and crying. Dr. Owens: [to assistant] Increase the sensitivity. D-19910, remember to be taking pictures. D-19910: I see a staircase. It's dark, the lights are a bit dim. Dr. Owens: Head down it. Use your flashlight if need be. D-19910: Alright. I'm in the school library…something is odd in here. D-19910: There's…something wrong with the far right corner of the room. It's like it's pitch black, but I can see everything in it clearly. It's shimmering a little bit, too; like a car hood in the hot sun. You know? Dr. Owens: Walk closer to it while reading your meter. D-19910: It's decreasing very slowly as I walk towards it. What's going- [There is the sound akin to a small explosion, and heavy microphone feedback shortly after.] D-19910: [microphone crackling] It's…gone? The corner is normal again, but there's a bunch of junk on the floor. Papers, and…food wrappers? It's just garbage. Hey, wait. My meter is reading one hume again. Dr. Owens: Good, that's…good. Get the papers, put them in the provided envelope within your pack and keep moving. D-19910: Okay. I'm in another hallway, but there's just one door at the end. I'm going in. D-19910: Oh, wow. I'm in the school's art room. Did you say this was an elementary school back in the day? Dr. Owens: Yes, that's correct. Why? D-19910: There's a bunch of self portraits and…statues on the walls and furniture. They're pretty great, especially for kids. I got a few pictures. Dr. Owens: Is that all that's in there? Anything else? D-19910: Nah, just school supplies and the like. Hold on, doc…the whispering and crying seem louder. Where's it coming from? Dr. Owens: D-19910, investigate the self-portraits. D-19910: Why? They're just…oh, shit. Doctor, they're moving. Dr. Owens: Try and speak to one. D-19910: Is this some sort of joke? [to SCP-3050-A instances] Hey, can y'all hear me? SCP-3050-A: [No response.] D-19910: I'm leaving, this is a waste of time. It's just some dumb magic trick. [There is the sound of a small crash.] SCP-3050-A: [Childlike screaming.] D-19910: Oh, God. I-I tripped and landed on a table with one of the…the things in it. Doc, they're- Dr. Owens: Just carefully exit the facility. We need those documents. SCP-3050-A: [Screams, pleas for help from multiple voices.] D-19910: [Sounds of retching.] I'm sorry, I'm sorry! <End log.> Approximately two minutes after the last transmission, D-19910 emerged from SCP-3050 through the main entrance in a panicked state. Subject scanned for active cognitohazards (clean) and Class B amnestics administered. D-19910 was reassigned to Project ████ and no incidents have been reported.

SCP-3051 | safe | close Info X SCP-3051 Author: margssentif More things I made Please Sign This Petition!!! Item#: 3051 Level2 Containment Class: safe Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: vlam Risk Class: caution link to memo Special Containment Procedures: As a fully functional Foundation Site, SCP-3051 is capable of self-containment. SCP-3051 has constantly manned roadblocks, watchtowers and surveillance cameras, which remain, for the most part, active even during Incident-3051-86. Outside of SCP-3051's area of effect, there is a network of motion-sensitive cameras intended to capture civilians attempting to enter Site-86-D during SCP-3051's deactivated period. A series of radio and television transmitters positioned outside of SCP-3051’s are set to continuously broadcast duplicate signals of those originally sent from 16/12/1980 to 22/12/1980 into SCP-3051. At the beginning of each loop, Dr. Faust must manually connect the severed telephone network to a computer, which will send an automatic error message when the phones in Site-86-D are used. Dr. Richard Faust is to remain within SCP-3051 and monitor the anomaly to explore possible methods of aborting SCP-3051 by studying the nature of the loop, leaving before Incident-3051-86 takes place. Dr. Faust has been approved to remain within SCP-3051 by psychiatrists. If Dr. Faust fails to check in before 5 PM Monday of each week, an available Foundation agent will be dispatched to investigate and Dr. Faust's employment will be terminated. Informing SCP-3051-1 instances of SCP-3051 is prohibited. Description: SCP-3051 is the ruins of Site-86-D1 and the surrounding area in a three-kilometre radius. Site-86-D was a newly instituted residential Site containing Safe to Euclid level temporal anomalies. It had a total staff count of 467, with 466 present at the time of Incident-3051-86. Every seventh day, a localised temporal distortion takes place within SCP-3051. The distortion returns SCP-3051 to 6:12 PM, Tuesday, 16/12/1980. An operational Site-86-D, containing SCPs and staff, will replace the ruins. This replacement also restores SCP-3051’s surrounding terrain, forest, and wildlife to their state in 1980. Only objects which were present during the original Incident-3051-86 will be replicated, leaving Dr. Richard Faust as the only staff member to not be recreated as an SCP-3051-1 instance. The distortion will terminate after six days and twelve hours, when Incident-3051-86 concludes at 6:12 AM, Sunday, 22/12/1980, and the area will return to its dilapidated state. This is followed by a twelve-hour long inactive period before the loop restarts. Humans that manifest within SCP-3051 are designated SCP-3051-1. SCP-3051-1 instances are unaware of the temporal distortion and will continue their usual routines from that time forward. SCP-3051-1 are not permitted to leave the borders of SCP-3051. Objects and SCP-3051-1 which are removed from SCP-3051 will dematerialise upon crossing the border. An individual spending an extended period within SCP-3051 will begin to slow the rate of ageing. Dr. Faust has aged only two years since the first loop. The 3051-86 event commenced at 11:45 PM, 21/12/1980. A convoy of unidentified soldiers, designated GoI-176, wearing black tactical armour, disabled Site-86-D’s communications array and forcibly entered the premises through the western checkpoint in armoured trucks. Foundation security defended the entrance to the Site but was quickly defeated by the highly advanced weaponry and superior numbers deployed against them. GoI-176 then entered the facility, prioritising the termination of Foundation staff and procedurally searching each room, acquiring 54 SCPs. No staff survived. A full manifest of the SCPs taken by GoI-176 is available in Document-3051-C. GoI-176 returned to the central courtyard of SCP-3051 and assembled a complex device resembling a 5-metre tall spire, designated SCP-3051-2. When completed, GoI-176 exited the area in the trucks. SCP-3051-2 was activated remotely and exploded at 6:12 AM, destroying Site-86-D and the surrounding area and emitting a pulse of unknown energy2, which extended three kilometres in all directions. SCP-3051-3 is lethal during the pulse from SCP-3051-2. After that point, SCP-3051-3 becomes benign. SCP-3051-3 energy signatures fade gradually until the next SCP-3051-2 detonation. The detonation of SCP-3051-2 concludes each loop of SCP-3051, beginning the inactive phase. Foundations agents arrived at the remains of Site-86-D shortly after the SCP-3051-2 detonation, and Site-86-D was declared decommissioned. While cleanup was in progress, SCP-3051 exhibited anomalous properties for the first time. Researchers and MTFs erected a research camp for principal containment. On the fifteenth loop of SCP-3051, several MTFs were dispatched to assist Site-86-D against GoI-176. After GoI-176 failed to respond to requests for negotiation, Foundation forces opened fire on GoI-176. Enemy operatives retrieved weaponry superior to that of the Foundation strike force3 and advanced to begin assault on Site-86-D. After sustaining casualties, GoI-176 returned to the trucks and exchanged fire with pursuers while leaving SCP-3051 and demanifesting. The loop concluded at the usual time and the following SCP-3051 loop was identical, even without the assembly of SCP-3051-2. Due to the inconsequential effect, MTF casualties, and SCP-3051-1 distress resulting from the intervention, further attempts have been suspended. Snippets of GoI-176 radio chatter intercepted during the Site-86-D Defence Operation Close audio log PoI-176-14 [Broadcast to numerous PoI-176s]: <Unintelligible> for the ones in armour <Unintelligible> can’t go round the left PoI-176-1 [Broadcast to PoI-176-3]: Command. Foundation has more guns than anticipated. How to proceed? PoI-176-2 [Broadcast to Numerous PoI-176]: Twelve! <Unintelligible> is down! PoI-176-3 [Broadcast to PoI-176-1]: Copy that. PoI-176-3 [Broadcast to all PoI-176]: Everybody, disengage and return to transport. Hotel-5, cover the retreat. <Unintelligible> let them know we’ll get the fifteenth shipment next week. On the sixteenth loop, GoI-176 returned with significantly more units, as well as artillery support, and bombarded the highly populated areas of Site-86-D with unknown, highly volatile weaponry before retrieving the SCPs. On loops 17 onwards, GoI-176 returned to its previous routine but maintained the heightened number of soldiers and quality weaponry. The only surviving Site employee was Dr. Richard Faust5, who had been absent from Site-86-D at the time of the event, in violation of curfew regulations. Sr. Researcher Valeria Faust and Security Officer Kristian Faust, Richard's wife and son, respectively, were both casualties of the event. Once informed of the existence and function of SCP-3051, Faust requested permission to remain at Site-86-D. This request was granted when Dr. Faust was proven to be willing to remain within SCP-3051 for studying, due to his specialisation in temporal misalignment and his preexisting residence at Site-86-D. The following transcript was reviewed during Dr. Faust's screening for SCP-3051 residency. Open extract from Richard Faust's personal audio diary Close extract from Richard Faust's personal audio diary: Extracts from Richard Faust's personal Tape Recorder: 12/12/1980 Richard: God damn, the new Site has finally been set up. We've been working our asses off for the longest time to set up those living quarters. Of course, I would be lying if I said that that was the only reason why I hadn’t put a recording in this thing for so long. It's all hands on deck with this new management, so they had me and Valeria working to move all the furnishings into our new apartment. At least the place is big, and the couch is comfy for when Val gets into one of her moods. Heh. <End Log> 14/12/1980 Richard: Well, we've moved in. We just opened our last box of stuff and everything is working properly. This place is pretty great. They have a supply truck come in every Monday with everything that we ask for for the week. We also have the Christmas ornaments from the old house, but we can't get a normal Christmas tree like we used to because it makes a mess. I'm on my way to pick up a plastic tree right now, actually. I'll probably pick up a few other things for Christmas too. <End Log> 16/12/1980 Richard: Shit, Val is absolutely livid. Kristian didn't want to spend Christmas over here because he's going to Vegas with his friends. I personally think that he has a right to do what he wants. Val has a tendency to overreact over these kinds of things anyway- [Door opens] Valeria: What are you talking about? Overreacting? I'm perfectly justified! He has no right to abandon us! Richard: Calm down. He's not abandoning us, he lives a five-minute walk away from us. Valeria: And how many times have you seen him lately? Christmas is for family! He can't just leave us to go gamble his money away and mess around with hookers! Richard: Kristian is twenty-six, for Christ's sake! It's not our responsibility to shackle him up. Valeria: You're completely fucking blind, Richard. Richard: Yeah? And you're delusional if you think that Kristian is still a child who you can push around on a whim. [Pause] Richard: Val? Oh my God, I'm so sorry. <End Log> 20/12/1980 First Recording <Unrelated Recordings Omitted> Valeria: Are you done with work? Richard: Yeah. Valeria: Do you want to watch a film? Richard: Can’t. I’m going out to the bar with Mike later. Valeria: Again? You shouldn’t keep going out with Major Evans. Past curfew, I might add. Richard: We’re both senior staff. We’re allowed to ignore curfew. Valeria: I didn’t say you couldn’t. I said you shouldn’t. It’s Christmas time; you should spend more time with your family before the work starts pouring in next year. Richard: It’s not Christmas yet. Valeria: Please. I don’t want a repeat of last year. Richard: What do you mean? Valeria: Don’t play dumb. Last Christmas, you made a complete ass of yourself at the Site Twelve Christmas party. You were lucky nobody filed a complaint. Richard: You’re still holding on to that? I barely had anything to drink, and you’re correlating things that are completely separate. Valeria: Director Somes didn’t agree. And you were acting strange all year. When I talked to him, he mentioned he could help us change Sites. Richard: Wait. You got us moved out of Site Twelve? Valeria: I had to. It was Director Somes’ idea anyway. Richard: Fuck. You. Valeria: Fine. Go. Take your work things with you. [Door slams] <End Log> 20/12/1980 Second Recording Richard: Picture this: kicked out of my own home for saying what I think. That’s some of the real Christmas Spirit right there. I’m going to grab a drink. And not the piss they have in the fridges here. [Car starts] [Pause] Cpl. Baxter: It’s past curfew, Doctor, way past. Richard: Uh huh. Sure. I don’t suppose Mike Evans is around here, is he? He usually takes this shift, right? Cpl. Baxter: He’s busy. Return to your quarters immediately. Maj. Evans: Howdy, Rick! Go kick a wasp nest, Corporal. [Cpl. Baxter Leaves] Maj. Evans: Nasty little roach, but I have to put up with him. Director May assigned these newbies since she caught wind of guards being drunk on the job, hence why I can’t go with you. Head on through, but… here, bring me a Jose Cuervo for my trouble. Richard: On it. [Car Starts Again] Richard: This is still on? <End Log> 22/12/1980 Richard: Well, that's something of a mission success, I suppose. I'm in Nevada now, I'll be back in Utah in a few minutes. Spent the night in a motel after I woke up at the bar, and I guess I slept in a bit. Work starts late on Mondays, though, so all’s well. [Pause] No. Don’t ask me what I’m going to do about Valeria. I’m out of… is that smoke? Oh fuck. Valeria! Kristian! [Hour pause] [Car stops] Richard: What’s happening here? Foundation Agent: It's fine, sir, just a small mining operation, sorry for any inconvenience. Richard: I am Senior Researcher Faust. Look here. I have level four access. Tell me what's happening. Now. Foundation Agent: I'm sorry, Sir. The Site was attacked, there was an explosion. We don’t know anything more than that. Richard: Oh God no. Researcher Valeria Faust and Security Officer Kristian Faust. Are they alright? Foundation Agent: We don't know, Sir. No one's come out yet, but rescue teams are en route. Richard: I'm going in. Foundation Agent: Sir, I can't allow that- Hey! No recording equipment! <End Log> 23/12/1980 [Silence] <End Log> 25/12/1980 Richard [slurred speech indicates intoxication]: Um… Merry Christmas. [Pause] Richard: I don’t know… I don’t know what I’m going to do. I’m home right now. I’m good… I drank the Cuervo. All of the… the whole thing. That was for Mike. I’ll have to get him ano- [15 Hour Pause, followed by Faust’s home phone ringing] [Phone rings] Richard: This is Richard. [Phone conversation inaudible] Richard: Are you serious? I'll come over now. <End Log> 26/12/1980 Richard: This is Senior Researcher Richard Faust’s report on the SCPs taken during the attack on Site—no—Defunct Site-86 by Group of Interest number 176, henceforth referred to as Incident-3051-86. Each loop, GoI-176 will retrieve the same SCPs from containment without fail. A total of 54 SCPs were taken from Defunct Site-86. How many were taken from my division? 7868, ████, and 10686. Those motherfuckers! I would have given them the keys to the fucking things if they’d just threatened me! Why do they need to keep on taking them? [Pause] Richard: Wait… [Phone receiver is lifted and a number is dialled] Richard: Charles Jance? [Pause] Richard: Yeah, I know. Listen, this is out of nowhere, but how powerful would the reaction be if two or more SCP-10686 instances collided? [Pause] Richard: Yes, I know there’s only one of them, but hypothetically speaking, how big would the blast be? [Pause] Richard: Right, right. That’s not good. <End Log> 05/01/1981 Richard: I’m taking this tape recorder with me, too. Agent Mayer: Sure. Put it in the bag with the rest of your stuff. You’ve got an hour before we have to drive you to the Site. Richard: I’m done packing. Let’s go now. Agent Mayer: You’re leaving that last bottle behind? It’s a shame. [Pause] Agent Mayer: Dr. Faust? Richard: I don’t need that fucking poison. <End Log> Footnotes 1. -D meaning Decommissioned to reduce confusion with the current Site-86 2. Designated SCP-3051-3 3.

SCP-3052 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3052 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3052-1 is to be kept in a Standard Humanoid Containment Chamber. SCP-3052-1's containment is to be constantly monitored via video surveillance by Level 2 staff or higher. SCP-3052-1 is allowed one session with the on-site psychologist per week. These sessions are to be observed via surveillance by Level 2 staff or higher. Any requests made by SCP-3052-1 must be directed to and approved by a Level 4 staff member or higher. Experiments involving showing SCP-3052-1 recordings of SCP-3052-2 instances are currently pending approval. Description: SCP-3052 is the collective designation for two entities, SCP-3052-1 and SCP-3052-2. SCP-3052-1 is a humanoid entity with an appearance similar to that of a crudely drawn, copper-colored stick figure, standing approximately 1.85 meters in height. Two circular holes in SCP-3052-1's head, approximately 9 centimeters in diameter, appear to function as eyes. SCP-3052-1 is believed to be two-dimensional. However, it was discovered that any subject viewing SCP-3052-1 will perceive it as facing them directly, no matter which angle or direction the subject views it from. Therefore, its true dimensions cannot be determined. X-Rays have shown that SCP-3052-1 lacks a skeletal structure, as well as organs. Analysis of samples taken from SCP-3052-1 shows that it is composed of a mixture of spray paint, acrylic paint, and human blood. Despite a lack of visible hands, SCP-3052-1 is capable of holding and manipulating most objects. SCP-3052-1 lacks a visible mouth and has not expressed a need for food or water. As of writing, SCP-3052-1 has only expressed a need for sleep (see Interview Log 3052-I1). SCP-3052-1 is incapable of vocalizing. However, it can communicate via words that it visually manifests near its head for a period ranging from seven to ten seconds before dematerializing. These words are seemingly composed of the same substances that make up SCP-3052-1 and retain the property of facing viewers directly. SCP-3052-1 has demonstrated a wide vocabulary, yet it prefers manifesting only a few words at a time. SCP-3052-1 claims to suffer from various mental illnesses, including depression, anxiety, and mild schizophrenia. This was confirmed after an interview with the on-site psychologist. SCP-3052-1 is currently attending weekly therapy sessions. SCP-3052-1's anomalous effects manifest when it is photographed or video recorded. Photographs and recordings taken of SCP-3052-1 show additional subjects not present at the time of recording designated SCP-3052-2. Instances of SCP-3052-2 are black entities with crimson eyes, similar in composition to that of SCP-3052-1. While these entities are often shapeless, they have been observed to take the shape of various animals, including crows, domestic cats, and an as-of-yet unidentified species of a large reptile. Video recordings have shown that SCP-3052-2 instances communicate in a similar manner to SCP-3052-1, with the exception that the words that materialize are black in color. SCP-3052-2 instances have been observed communicating with SCP-3052-1, usually harassing it with insults and verbal threats. SCP-3052-2 instances have been observed claiming that the Foundation has plans to terminate SCP-3052-11. SCP-3052-1 will simply nod in response to these claims, and in rare cases, will verbally respond, affirming SCP-3052-2's claims (see Video Log 3052-V2). SCP-3052-1 was discovered on June 19th, ████, living in the home of a digital animator ████ ██████. ██████ was found dead in his bedroom. Autopsy reports show that subject died of an overdose of the drug ██████████████, a common antipsychotic. Blood samples from ██████ did not match up with the blood found in SCP-3052-1's composition. Search for a DNA match is currently ongoing. Addendum 3052-A1: Due to compliance with the Foundation, SCP-3052-1 has been allowed several requests for various items and amenities. Below is a list of requests that have been made thus far. Request Log Request Log Request Status Notes Empty journal and pen Approved SCP-3052-1 has given the on-site psychologist consent to view the contents of its journal. Television with DVD player and selection of DVDs Approved Potted houseplant Approved Plant expired due to lack of watering. SCP-3052-1 expressed extreme guilt during its weekly therapy session. Potted houseplant with a watering can Approved SCP-3052-1's mood has improved since the loss of its first plant. Interview Log 3052-I1: Interviewed: SCP-3052-1 Interviewer: Dr. ██████, current on-site psychologist Foreword: The following is an excerpt of a session between Dr. ██████ and SCP-3052-1. <Begin Log> Dr. ██████: How are you today? SCP-3052-1: Kind of tired. Dr. ██████: Have you been having trouble sleeping? SCP-3052-1: I keep having the dreams. Dr. ██████: Yes, you've told me about them. Have you written them down as I advised? SCP-3052-1: I keep forgetting. Sorry. Dr. ██████: There's no need to apologize, it's completely optional. Still, it might help. Do you still hear the voices? SCP-3052-1: All the time. Dr. ██████: Do they sound like anyone you know? SCP-3052-1: I don't know a lot of people. Dr. ██████: What sort of things do they say? SCP-3052-1 does not respond. Dr. ██████: If you don't feel comfortable discussing it, that's- SCP-3052-1: They say you're going to kill me. Dr. ██████: Who is going to kill you? SCP-3052-1: I'm not sure. Whoever works here, I guess. Dr. ██████: Do you believe we're going to kill you? SCP-3052-1: I don't know. Dr. ██████: Do you feel like you're in danger staying here? SCP-3052-1: Sometimes. Dr. ██████: I see. Have you been experiencing any visual hallucinations? SCP-3052-1: Like, seeing things? Dr. ██████: Precisely. SCP-3052-1: Not really, no. Dr. ██████: Nothing unusual or strange? SCP-3052-1: I don't think so. Dr. ██████: I see. Dr. ██████ makes a note on his clipboard. Dr. ██████: Is there anything else you'd like to discuss? SCP-3052-1: My watering can's almost empty. Dr. ██████: I'll let someone know. <End Log> Closing Statement: It's inferred that SCP-3052-1 is incapable of seeing instances of SCP-3052-2. At the conclusion of the session, SCP-3052-1's watering can was refilled. SCP-3052-1 was then observed watering its provided plant. Video Log 3052-V2: The following is a transcript of a video recording of SCP-3052-1 on ██/██/████. This recording holds significance, as the recorded instance of SCP-3052-2 supposedly mentions ████ ██████, despite not previously displaying any knowledge of his existence. <Begin Log> SCP-3052-1 is sitting at its provided desk in its containment chamber, its arms resting on the surface, looking at the west wall of its containment cell. After a period of about 45 seconds, an instance of SCP-3052-2 in the shape of a large reptilian slowly moves into frame from the left, stopping approximately 15 centimeters away from SCP-3052-1. SCP-3052-1 does not react to SCP-3052-2's appearance. SCP-3052-2: They're going to kill you, you know. SCP-3052-1: I know. SCP-3052-2: What are you going to do about it? SCP-3052-1: I don't know. SCP-3052-2: You might as well just let them. You'd be doing the world an enormous favor. SCP-3052-1: Yeah, probably. SCP-3052-2: It's your fault that you're in here. If you had just kept your mouth shut and not asked him any damn questions, this wouldn't be happening. 'Where am I? What are these voices? Are you God?' There is no God, idiot. He's dead, remember? He's dead and you killed him. Just like that. All because you opened your stupid mouth. Now you're going to Hell, and it's all your fault. Both entities do not speak for a period of 15-20 seconds. SCP-3052-2: I'm going away now. I can't stand looking at you. SCP-3052-2 slowly moves away from SCP-3052-1 and out of frame. SCP-3052-1 continues looking at the west wall for the remainder of the video. <End Log> Footnotes 1. No plans to terminate SCP-3052-1 have yet been made. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3052" by Witryso, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3053 | euclid | Item#: 3053 Level3 Containment Class: euclid Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: vlam Risk Class: caution link to memo Special Containment Procedures: Guards posing as game wardens are to keep SCP-3053-A under observation. Civilians are to be warned away citing the presence of unstable sinkholes, and any that manage access to SCP-3053-B or -C are to be amnesticized and escorted out of the area. Description: SCP-3053 is a three-part spatial anomaly located in a wooded area approximately 7km southwest of Broken Cliff, MO, USA. SCP-3053-A is an abandoned boxcar that bears the markings of the now-defunct Missouri and North Arkansas Railroad Company1, though investigation of the remaining records of that company have not thus far directly corroborated ownership. The construction of SCP-3053-A and testing of trace substances suggest that it was used to carry mining supplies alongside shipments of lead and zinc. It is unknown how it reached its current location as no known configuration of the M&NA line passed through the area and all attempts to relocate SCP-3053-A since its discovery have failed. SCP-3053-B is an extra-dimensional space accessible via using SCP-3053-A in a manner similar to an airlock, entering from the east and exiting through to the west. Travel going the opposite direction, without both doors being closed for thirty seconds simultaneously, or involving the western door being opened from the outside will result in failure to access SCP-3053-B. The space comprising SCP-3053-B is approximately 4,000m2 with an unknown height and depth. It resembles the clearing on the western side of SCP-3053-A in baseline reality, save for the addition of SCP-3053-C. All attempts to exit the area in any way other than traveling back through SCP-3053-A will cause the traveler to demanifest and reappear on the opposite side of SCP-3053-B. SCP-3053-C is a two-story mortared limestone house centrally located within SCP-3053-B. The interior and several facets of the exterior of the building are constructed of oak that is in severe disrepair. Three drone explorations of SCP-3053-C's interior have been carried out with no significant incidents2. A manned exploration has been scheduled for 20██-06-01. Addendum 3053-001: Exploration 3053/04 was carried out as scheduled and has been further designated Incident 3053/01. Access to relevant logs is restricted to security level 3/3053 or higher until further notice. [Access Exploration Log 3053/04] [Close Exploration Log 3053/04] Base Team: Junior Researcher Dr. Alex Markaby with two members of MTF Delta-10 "Hellbillies" on standby. Exploration Team: D-2172 Foreword: D-2172 was provisioned with a class D tactical vest, a body camera, a radio earpiece w/throat microphone, a headlamp, and a class D air mask. <Begin Log> [Bodycam activates, showing the front of SCP-3053-C.] D-2172: Okay, mic check. Check check check. Dr. Markaby: Mic is good, '72. Camera appears to be working too, but can you give us a quick hello? [D-2172's open hand appears in the frame and rapidly moves up and down.] Dr. Markaby: Camera is also good, thank you. Proceed to dash C. [D-2172 approaches SCP-3053-C's front entrance. The wooden door is still open from previous drone explorations, revealing a darkened interior.] D-2172: Ah, copy that. Operation: Get Inside the Spooky House is a go, sir. Ha! Irreverence. Dr. Markaby: Please keep the commentary at least somewhat professional, '72. We're all on the clock here. D-2172: No prob, just shaking out some nerves. Dr. Markaby: Understandable, but keep it under wraps. The drones didn't show anything immediately threatening inside, so you should be perfectly safe. [D-2172 steps through the doorway into SCP-3053-C's interior and stops. The only source of illumination is light coming in from the open doorway and between the slats of two boarded up windows. Small plumes of dust float through the beams of light. Aside from a few missing boards, the floor is mostly intact. The far walls cannot be seen clearly, but a roughly made wooden table can be seen on the left-hand side of the frame. Other, less discernible objects are concealed by the darkness.] D-2172: Yeah, well, maybe whatever is in here just doesn't like the taste of drones. Dr. Markaby: Please turn on your lamp and proceed. [D-2172's headlamp illuminates the room as she steps further in and turns left.] D-2172: Roger wilco. Now, what we see here is what is colloquially known as a "kitchen", complete with a dining table, counter, wood-burning stove, and pantry. Table looks a little rickety, scuffed up, but not too bad. Stove has … a couple of rusty cast-iron skillets sitting on top and … the dusty remains of a fire inside. If you cleaned this up you could probably get a good thousand for it, easy. Dr. Markaby: We're not here to sell potentially anomalous antiques. Check the pantry. D-2172: Sure thing. [D-2172 opens the pantry, revealing several shelves that are empty save for small mounds of dust and seven broken jars with a black substance lining their interiors.] D-2172: Gross. Got some canning jars, looks like. I can take the mask off and give 'em a sniff if you ask nicely, but I'm thinking even the mold here is dead. And, y'know, I really don't wanna do it. Dr. Markaby: That's fine, just get a sample and let's move on. [D-2172 pulls out a sample collection kit from her vest and takes scrapings from the inside of each jar.] D-2172: Okay, off to the living room. We've got … busted up remains of a couch. Few portraits on the wall, faded to just about nothing. Fireplace full of dead leaves. One of them old-timey radios, which … does not seem to work. No surprise, I'm sure they ain't paid their electricity bill in a while. The walls are busted up worse here than in the kitchen. A lot of the boards have been torn down, so I can see some of the stone on the other side. And … oh, hey. This is hay sticking out. Dr. Markaby: One of the drones already got a sample, and it's sage brush. It was used for insulation. D-2172: Neat. Learn something new every- [Silence for five seconds.] Dr. Markaby: Is there a problem, '72? D-2172: [whispering] Just heard something upstairs. Like kids laughing or something. You sure there ain't nobody else here? Dr. Markaby: Reasonably certain, yes. We didn't pick anything up on our end. This may be an unforeseen hallucinatory effect. Please proceed to the second floor. D-2172: [whispering] Yeah, okay, permission to get the hell outta here instead? Dr. Markaby: Denied. D-2172: [whispering] Well, shit. [D-2172 moves slowly toward the door in the back wall of the room. When she reaches the open doorframe, she pauses momentarily, scans the wood of the frame with the bodycam, and points emphatically at several small cuts in the wood. Each cut is accompanied by carvings that read "Mary" or "Dorothy" and bears dates from the 1930's. D-2172 then points emphatically upward.] Dr. Markaby: An interesting hypothesis. Let's see if it bears out. [D-2172 gives the bodycam a thumbs up gesture then proceeds into the back room of the house. Assorted boxes, bags, and loose items are stacked and strewn about the room. D-2172 reaches down, picks up a rusty shovel with a broken handle, and hefts it before turning to the stairs.] Dr. Markaby: Be careful, '72. Killing, injuring, or otherwise disrupting an unstudied anomaly may prolong your service time with the Foundation. D-2172: [unintelligible] [The stairs creak slightly as D-2172 ascends to the upper floor of the house. Her headlamp is the only remaining light source visible. She steps into a hallway with doors lining the right-hand wall and slowly moves to the closest doorway. Audio picks up the sound of two voices at this point. Analysis identifies both voices as belonging to female prepubescents but cannot discern any of the words spoken. D-2172 moves into the room and looks around until she spots two shadowy, vaguely-defined humanoid figures standing in the corner. The previously heard voices stop as the humanoids turn their heads to reveal that they have iris- and pupilless eyes but no other distinct facial features.] D-2172: Holy shi- … are you guys seeing this? Dr. Markaby: Yes, just stay there for a moment and- [D-2172 kneels and sets down the shovel, stretching her arms out to the humanoids.] D-2172: Hey, girls, it's okay. Don't be afraid. Look, nothing in my hands, nothing up my sleeves. Dr. Markaby: '72, this is not a recommended course of action. Child #1: [unintelligible] D-2172: No, it's cool, I'm just talking to a friend of mine. He's a doctor. Y'all okay? How'd you get in here? Child #2: [unintelligible] Dr. Markaby: '72, exactly what are you seeing? D-2172: Ah, one second, kids. Hey, yeah, you said you could see 'em, right? It's just a couple of- [The image shudders for two seconds, accompanied by an explosive sound emanating from elsewhere in SCP-3053. D-2172 turns away from the humanoids, presumably to look through the doorway.] D-2172: What the hell?! Dr. Markaby: '72, what's happening? Talk to us. D-2172: I dunno, sounded like a train wreck! Look, I'm gonna get these kids outta here. Hey- [D-2172 turns back toward the humanoids. Child #1 has crawled up into a broken section of the wooden wall and is reaching down to help Child #2 up onto the same perch.] D-2172: Girls, hey, not there. Let's go- [Child #2 steps onto the broken wood and both humanoids step through the limestone wall, appearing to melt into the mortar.] D-2172: Okay, what the fuck. Dr. Markaby: D-2172, respond. D-2172: Yeah, sorry. That was weird. Dr. Markaby: Yes, but that's why we're here. We need you to focus and get back on task. Can you do that? D-2172: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I can do that. Okay, exploration. Gonna check the other rooms up here, see where that noise came from, find the girls again. On it. Dr. Markaby: Thank you, '72. [D-2172 picks up the broken shovel and moves back into the hallway. She turns to the right and stops. Another humanoid figure, similar in composition to Child #1 and #2 but taller, stands hunched over in the middle of the hall.] D-2172: Shit! Uh, hey there, lady. Woman #1: [unintelligible] Dr. Markaby: What is she saying? D-2172: That she's … sorry about something? I don't know, hey, just slow down. Woman #1: [unintelligible] D-2172: What the fu- [The view from the bodycam lifts up and tilts forward as D-2172 shouts out in distress. D-2172 is thrown violently to one side, the camera feed going dead for one second upon impact with the wall. The view lifts back into its previous position and moves rapidly forward until another impact with the floor in front of Woman #1. D-2172 either rolls over or is rolled over until the ceiling fills the camera's view, presumably the latter as D-2172 has ceased all vocalizations and is assumed unconscious at this point. Woman #1 and another humanoid lean over D-2172 from opposite sides. The other humanoid speaks, its garbled voice deep and aggressive.] Man #1: [unintelligible] [Both humanoids lean down and pick D-2172 up, carrying her between them. They proceed down the stairs and into the storage room, whereupon D-2172 resumes movement and vocalization, struggling against the humanoids.] D-2172: Hey! Jesus, fuck! Dr. Markaby: D-2172, what is your status? D-2172: My status?! [The humanoids carry D-2172 into the main area of the house. As D-2172 attempts to twist out of their grasp, they approach the table in the kitchen area.] Dr. Markaby: Try speaking to them, ask them what they want. D-2172: Dammit, they're gonna- [D-2172 is cut off as she is lifted into the air and thrown down on the table. Man #1 leans over her, hovering one hand in the air as its fingers shift into the shape of scalpels. It reaches down, out of frame, and D-2172 cries out in pain. When the male humanoid brings its hand back into frame, its fingers are covered in blood and small strips of flesh are in its palm. It holds its hand up to its face and, despite its lack of an oral cavity, appears to ingest the strips and lick the blood from its fingers.] D-2172: Fuck you, you son of a fucking bitch! [D-2172 attempts to punch the humanoid, but her arm is caught by Woman #1.] Dr. Markaby: Site-272 has issued a mission abort. Hang tight, '72, we're coming to get you. [At this time, MTF D10-B1 and MTF D10-B4 leave exploration base and prepare to enter SCP-3053-A. Man #1 reaches down to cut into D-2172 a second time but makes a sudden vocalization of distress as it collapses. D-2172 pulls her arm away from Woman #1 and rolls off of the table. As she stands up and reorients herself toward the front door, Child #1 and Child #2 come briefly into view as they are crawling on top of Man #1, who is attempting to remove them. D-2172 runs unsteadily out the door and into SCP-3053-B.] Dr. Markaby: Okay, keep going, '72. Bravo 1 and 4 will meet you at dash A. [D-2172 continues running toward the boxcar for five seconds, then slows and comes to a stop. She turns back toward SCP-3053-C.] D-2172: [breathing hard] No. I … I gotta … Dr. Markaby: Negative, D-2172, do not return to dash C. I repeat, do not return. Mission is aborted. If you do this, Bravo will be recalled. D-2172: Then recall 'em. [D-2172 removes her earpiece and proceeds to run back toward SCP-3053-C. She enters through the front door without slowing down. Though the bodycam footage becomes slightly distorted with her rapid movement, frame-by-frame analysis shows Man #1 standing at the table, holding down Child #2 and preparing to cut into it. Woman #1 is seated in the corner, holding Child #1 protectively. Man #1 looks up as D-2172 runs toward him, jumps up on the edge of the table, and tackles him.] [Footage cuts out for approximately ten seconds. When it returns, D-2172 is rising up from the floor. Man #1 can be seen at the edge of the frame doing the same. D-2172 turns to the stove, picks up one of the cast iron skillets, and turns back to the male humanoid. It reaches out as she approaches, but she hits its hand away with the skillet.] D-2172: Fuck! You! [D-2172 uses the skillet to hit Man #1 in the side of the face and on top of the head. It reaches out again and grabs D-2172's vest, lifting her up into the air. A sound presumed to be the skillet hitting the floor can be heard as D-2172 grasps the humanoid's arm with one hand and punches it with the other. The humanoid slashes at her with its fingers, causing a thin line of blood to streak across the camera lens. D-2172 lifts her lower body and wraps her legs around Man #1's arm and neck. Caught off balance, the humanoid falls to the ground. D-2172 releases it and crawls over to the dropped skillet. She picks it up, stands, and turns back to Man #1. The humanoid has likewise regained its footing and is stepping back from D-2172.] Man #1: [unintelligible] D-2172: Yeah? Try me, bitch. Woman #1: [unintelligible] Man #1: [unintelligible] D-2172: I'd listen to your old lady, man. [The male humanoid pauses for six seconds, staring at D-2172, then backs up slowly. D-2172 follows it until it reaches the breach in the living area wall.] Man #1: [unintelligible] [Without looking back, it steps up into the breach and melts into the mortar. D-2172 turns back to the other humanoids.] D-2172: Jesus wept! Are y'all okay? Woman #1: [unintelligible] Child #2: [unintelligible] D-2172: Okay, good, good. Fuck. Alright look, lady. I don't know what the hell is going on here, but you can't just let that dude do shit like this. I know that's kinda harsh, but damn. [Eight seconds of silence.] Woman #1: [unintelligible] D-2172: Ah. Ah, jeez. That's … I'm sorry. That's messed up. Look, the people I'm working for … well, I dunno if it'll be much, but I'll see what I can get them to do for you. Okay? Look, I gotta go. Child #1: [unintelligible] D-2172: Yeah. Sure, kid. You're welcome. [D-2172 puts the skillet on the table and leaves SCP-3053-C. After she cycles through SCP-3053-A, MTF D10-B1 and -B4 take her into custody and shut off the bodycam.] <End Log> [Close Exploration Log 3053/04] [Access Interview Log 3053/01] [Close Interview Log 3053/01] Interviewee: D-2172 Interviewer: D-Class Supervisor Donald Kelly, accompanied by Security Officer Oliver Wendt Foreword: Interview was conducted approximately six hours after the conclusion of Exploration 3053/04. <Begin Log> [D-2172 is seated at an interrogation table. Bandages are visible on her neck and the right side of her face. Her hands are manacled to the table. Supervisor Kelly walks in and sits opposite D-2172. Officer Wendt stands by the door.] Supv. Kelly: D-2172, I am Supervisor Kelly. I'm here to speak with you regarding Incident 3053/01. D-2172: Yeah? That the thing that happened at the house? Supv. Kelly: Correct. D-2172: Where's Dr. Markaby? Supv. Kelly: Dr. Markaby is currently occupied with his own inquest. You're talking with me now. D-2172, do you remember the specifics regarding your compensation for working here? [Six seconds of silence.] Supv. Kelly: Then allow me to refresh your memory. You volunteered for this position, and in return for your cooperation in testing anomalies, you have time removed from your sentence at Broken Cliff Penitentiary. When you disobey orders, when you unduly endanger yourself or others, or when you intentionally disrupt the research being carried out, you are breaking the agreement that your position here is based upon. Do you understand? D-2172: Yes, sir. Supv. Kelly: Given your past record with us as well as the abilities you displayed during Incident 3053/01, I am forced to admit that, under other circumstances, you may have been offered an E-Class position at the end of your volunteer period. You might have even been released entirely from your prison sentence and become a fully-instated Foundation employee, perhaps a field agent or a security officer like Mr. Wendt here. But given your recent actions, you will be remaining D-Class assuming we don't simply cut you loose and send you back to the penitentiary with a few extra years appended to your stay there. Do you understand? D-2172: Yes, sir. Supv. Kelly: Do you really? I'm not sure of that. '72, I want you to listen to me. You did not simply endanger your own life with this stunt. You have jeopardized all future personnel who interact with SCP-3053 and the entities inside. SCP-3053-C1 was already hostile, but before you went and pissed it off, we may have at least been able to manage it. You might have even incited it to expand its presence, maybe even leave SCP-3053. Do you understand what that means, D-2172? If some kid over in Broken Cliff gets his leg chopped off in the middle of the night, that's on you. That's on your head. Do you really understand? Do you really have any idea of exactly what you've done? [Ten seconds of silence.] D-2172: Yeah. I understand. I understand that you're full of shit. I understand that all you've got to throw at me right now is what you're afraid might happen. I also understand what I actually did. You wanna know what the kids and their mom told me? Supv. Kelly: How is this in any way relevant, D-2172? D-2172: They told me what happens to 'em every day. That big motherfucker? SCP number whatever the hell you called him? He's their dad, man. And he catches those two little girls every day. Has done for like eighty years now. He catches 'em every fucking day, and he eats 'em. And he makes their mom help. Every single day. So fuck him and fuck you. [D-2172 raises both of her middle fingers at Supervisor Kelly.] D-2172: 'Cause they didn't get eaten today. <End Log> Afterword: The interview was concluded as D-2172 refused to cooperate any further. She was subdued and placed in lockdown in her dorm pending a full decision regarding her continued employment as a member of D-Class personnel. [Close Interview Log 3053/01] Full re-designation of SCP-3053 components and an update of SCP-3053's containment procedures are currently in progress. Further exploration of SCP-3053-C has been indefinitely suspended. Footnotes 1. The M&NA was in operation from 1906 to 1946 and connected Joplin, MO to Helena, AR. 2.

[SCP-4054] The Seventh Door SCP-4054 is The Seventh Door, an unlicensed platform adventure game released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1988. SCP-3054-A. Item #: SCP-3054 Special Containment Procedures: A fenced, circular perimeter with a radius of 1.5 kilometers has been established around SCP-3054-A. This perimeter is maintained by MTF Kappa-9 ("Paging Nurse Ratched") under a cover story involving groundwater contamination. Efforts to develop a method of containing SCP-3054's effects outside of SCP-3054-A are ongoing. Meanwhile, all disappearances associated with SCP-3054 are to be reported to the Foundation's Disinformation Bureau for further action. No personnel with a documented history of mental illness are permitted on-site. Description: SCP-3054 is an anomalous phenomenon which affects patients interned in mental health facilities throughout North America. Affected patients will disappear when left unobserved. Investigations into these disappearances have uncovered records at each facility indicating a scheduled transfer to SCP-3054-A. Neither a source nor an explanation for these records has been determined. The Foundation became aware of this phenomenon in 1981; however, analysis indicates possible incidents dating back to 1890. Furthermore, while the earliest incidents occurred within one hundred kilometers of SCP-3054-A, this 'area of effect' appears to have expanded over time (with the most recent incident reported in Vancouver, Canada). As of now, there have been 912 disappearances associated with SCP-3054. More are expected to be uncovered. Interior of SCP-3054-A. SCP-3054-A is Cragstaff Sanitarium — an uninhabited psychiatric institute located in a forested region 50 kilometers west of Hudson, North Carolina. Other than the previously mentioned transfer records, no documentation of SCP-3054-A's construction or operation exists. Researchers are working to determine when SCP-3054-A was built and whether or not it was actually used. It has recently been discovered that any person with a documented history of mental illness may experience SCP-3054 while inside of SCP-3054-A (see below). Addendum 3054.1: Text Logs The following text logs were pulled from Foundation personnel's phones following the disappearance of Julia Owens, a Foundation researcher assigned to SCP-3054-A. ► ACCESS SCP:/3054/files/text_09_05_2010.log ▼ Close File Julia: Hello? Julia: Barry? Please reply. Barry: Julia? Where are you? Julia: I'm in the building. Barry: Where? Julia: In one of the rooms upstairs. Julia: They don't let us keep personal items, but I managed to hide my phone. Julia: I don't think they even know what the hell it is. Barry: Wait, what are you talking about? Who doesn't let you keep personal items? Barry: Let me call you. Julia: No Julia: Don't. Julia: If the phone rings, they might hear. Barry: Okay. Who might hear? I'm getting our supervisor. Julia: The staff. Barry: The staff? Julia: In the building. The medical staff. Julia: Give me a sec Julia: I'm still inside the building, but it's like I've traveled back in time. There are doctors and nurses everywhere, all wearing… like, old-timey clothes. Julia: They said I'm here to receive treatment. Lindsey: Julia, this is Dr. Lindsey. You're telling me that you are currently inside Cragstaff, but it's open and running? With a medical staff? Julia: Yes. Julia: And it's not decayed, or broken down. It looks brand new. Julia: I saw others here, too. Other people taken by SCP-3054, I think? Julia: Lots of them. Confused. Scared. Most of them wouldn't even talk to me. Couple of teens, mostly adults. Julia: Some of them were just sitting in chairs, drooling. Looks like they might have been drugged. Lindsey: Alright, Julia. Can you tell me precisely what room you're in? We're going to go there and see if there's any way to get you out. Julia: Room 203, I think. Lindsey: We're on our way Julia: Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. Door's locked. Windows are barred. Julia: Looking out the window. Can't see much besides trees and fog. Julia: Can't even see the sky. Lindsey: We're inside the room. Can you see anything unusual? Try to move some objects around. Julia: Everything's bolted down. Julia: Someone coming gtg Lindsey: Stay safe. Text this number again when you can. We'll keep someone monitoring it.

Julia: I've got all the settings on my phone running on minimum. Also, I'm keeping it turned off in-between uses. My battery should last a couple of days, at the very least. Julia: Presuming I don't blow all my juice on Flappy Bird. Lindsey: Okay, good. What's going on? Can you tell me anything new that might help us get you out of there? Julia: Not much. All the windows are barred. Outside is overcast. Julia: All the patients downstairs are different, now. Most of them are still confused. Just different faces. Different people. Lindsey: Have you talked to any of them? Julia: Yeah. A lot of them just got here. The ones who have been here longer, they don't talk much. Just stare and mumble to themselves. Julia: There's a woman here in her sixties. Someone told me she came here when she was a little girl. Julia: Apparently, she tried to escape once. Julia: So they did something to her. Julia: And now, now she doesn't try much of anything. Julia: Just stares out the window and drools. Lindsey: All the more reason for you to be as careful as possible, right? Julia: Right. They told me I'll see a doctor, tomorrow. Julia: I should go. Need to sleep. Will text you later. Lindsey: Alright. I'll be here, Julia.

Lindsey: So, we might have some good news. Lindsey: I think we figured out why it took you. Lindsey: I know this is a gross violation of privacy — not to mention HIPAA regulations — but I thumbed through some personnel files, called in some favors. Found out that out of all the people assigned here, you're the only one who's ever been admitted to a mental health facility. Lindsey: We think maybe that when someone is here, SCP-3054 'counts' it as you being interned in a psychiatric institute. But only if you've been interned in one before. Lindsey: If we're right, it means we know how to send people over. And since you took your phone with you, that means we might be able to send someone to you with something even more useful. Maybe something that can bring you and everyone else back. Lindsey: Anyway, it's not a solution, but it's a start. Lindsey: Julia? Julia: Yeah Julia: Yeah that's good Julia: I would very much like to leave Lindsey: Are you okay? Julia: Started meds few days ago Julia: Foggy, hard to remember shit Julia: Sorry. Hard to focus Julia: Is why I haven't messaged. Been sleeping a lot Lindsey: No, it's fine, I understand. Julia: Been talking to other patients more Julia: Some of them don't even remember when they first came here. I think it's the meds, but I don't know. Maybe it's this place Julia: One of them told me you can petition to leave. Julia: A judge shows up, and you plead your case, the judge can decide to let you go. Julia: I asked if anyone ever got out that way. Nobody really seems to know or remember Julia: I asked if anyone got out PERIOD Julia: Same response Julia: I think most of them have given up. They just stare out the window and chew their pills Julia: But I'm not giving up Julia: I'm not dying in this place. Lindsey: Don't worry. We'll get you out. I promise.

VOICE 2: I'm outside of the facility. It's dark, but I'm out. I'm fucking out. I faked taking my meds for a couple of days, hid them under my tongue — managed to steal a nail-file. Used it to pry up one of the bars of my window. VOICE 1: Okay. Okay, Julia. I'm notifying personnel right now, give me a moment. We're going to do a search in the woods surrounding the facility. Give me a second. VOICE 2: (rustling sounds) I'm moving, but it's slow going. You know that people can't walk in straight lines? I learned that on TV. Mythbusters, I think? But if you take it slow, you can get kind of close. You just gotta use something as reference points. I'm using the trees.

Addendum 3054.3: The following emails are documented here to give context for the incident that occurred on 5-7-2010. DATE: 21/06/2010 FROM: Director Browning <noitadnuof.pcs|gninworbb#noitadnuof.pcs|gninworbb> TO: Dr. Lindsey <noitadnuof.pcs|yesdnilj#noitadnuof.pcs|yesdnilj> SUBJECT: Re: Article Updates Although it's clear that Ms. Owens was abducted by SCP-3054, the only details we have about this 'alt-dimension Cragstaff' are from her texts and phone-logs. And as you yourself discovered, Ms. Owens is a recovering schizophrenic (still trying to figure out how RAISA missed that one). Her testimony is anecdotal— at best. At this point, our knowledge of this dimension is purely speculative. And we do not deal in speculation. We deal in cold, hard facts. No one outside of D-Class personnel is going through SCP-3054 until we're reasonably certain we can bring them back. Recovering Ms. Owens is high priority — but so is protecting Foundation agents here and now. I'm not sending armed personnel into a dimension we know nothing about. We need more data. Furthermore, given the possibility that SCP-3054-A's nature may target subjects with documented mental illnesses, I am rejecting your request for psychiatric treatment — for reasons that should be absurdly clear. Instead, I'm giving you two weeks paid leave. Effective immediately. Take some time off, June. Forget about Ms. Owens; let us handle it. Request some amnestics if you need them. Whatever it takes — get your head back into the game. We've got work to do. DATE: 05/07/2010 FROM: Researcher Phyllis <noitadnuof.pcs|sillyhpb#noitadnuof.pcs|sillyhpb> TO: Director Browning <noitadnuof.pcs|gninworbb#noitadnuof.pcs|gninworbb> SUBJECT: Incident (contact me IMMEDIATELY) If you're reading this, either you already know what's going on (in which case, disregard) or you're turning your computer on before you check your phone (in which case, stop what you're doing and call me RIGHT NOW. You can keep reading while the phone is ringing.) Dr. Lindsey disappeared. It happened just after she got back from vacation. She entered SCP-3054-A, said something about wanting to check on a hunch, then… an hour later, nobody could get in contact with her. Three hours later, we're still looking for her. Suddenly, one of the structures on the west side of SCP-3054-A just collapses. Like somebody blew a goddamn hole through it. We're all scrambling, I'm trying to call you and leaving you 5 voice-mails and over 20 texts — and that's when somebody finds the note. June left it on her desk shortly after entering SCP-3054-A. I scanned it and sent a copy to your phone, but I'll include it here so you can see. If you're reading this, then I'm already gone. Let me tell you about my vacation! I had a wonderful time. Saw some family. Watched a few movies. Borrowed my father's pistol. Managed to get ahold of some grenades. Took a trip down to the shore. Found a psychiatric institute that would admit me overnight for 'grief counseling'. I'm going in. And either Julia's coming back with me… or I'm not coming back at all. Foundation personnel are to continue monitoring mental health facilities throughout North America to determine if any change in SCP-3054 has occurred. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3054" by The Great Hippo, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3055 | euclid | The stage of the now-defunct █████ Theater. Item #: SCP-3055 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3055 is to be kept in a 10x10m containment cell at Site-██, furnished with at least seven eight folding chairs as well as appropriate beds and restroom facilities. This cell is to be stocked with food and water rations, maintained by containment staff. Staff should monitor SCP-3055 to ensure that it is properly fed and hydrated. If SCP-3055 becomes hostile, SCP-3055-1 through -7 -8 are to be tranquilized. At least two of SCP-3055-1 through -7 -8 will be unaffected by this action; this is to be expected, and the remaining members of SCP-3055 are to be placated as appropriate, with food, water, medicine, etc. Updated Containment Procedures ██/██/2017: In order to prevent future Suggestion Events (see Incident Log 3055-a) a list of scene suggestions is to be frequently updated and kept on-site so that it can be accessed on short notice. At least two guards are to be stationed inside the containment chamber to provide suggestions whenever one is requested. Description: SCP-3055 is the collective designation for eight humans, dubbed SCP-3055-1 through -8. Of the eight, seven were formerly the members of Dan's Institute of Improvised Thespianry, an acting troupe specializing in improvisational comedy (improv), based out of the now-defunct █████ Theater in New York City. SCP-3055-8 became a part of SCP-3055 after initial containment (see Incident Log 3055-a). Starting at some time in early 2016, it has been impossible for any member of SCP-3055 to enter or exit a building without being accompanied by the other seven individuals. Attempts to cause this to happen, both by SCP-3055 and others, have resulted in an unseen force blocking the door of the building in question. SCP-3055 is also unable to stop its ongoing set of scenes. Even when the group is moving, the scene continues while it is walking; dialogue has not been observed to cease for longer than two seconds. Efforts to force SCP-3055 to stop its scene have so far been unsuccessful. All of SCP-3055-1 through -8 are either unable or unwilling to speak or communicate in any way besides the dialogue in the scene. This has largely impeded Foundation efforts to determine the origin of their condition, or potential treatments for it. Despite being in a constant state of improvisation, SCP-3055-1 through -8 still have the same basic physical needs as non-anomalous humans, such as eating, drinking, sleeping, and excreting waste. While in containment, they have developed a system of shifts, in which two or three of the actors carry on the scene while the others fulfill these needs. Those on the 'inactive' shift are still unable to independently enter or leave buildings, and generally do not divert their attention from the scene while they are awake. Periodically, SCP-3055 asks for scene suggestions. It will typically accept the first word or phrase spoken after these requests, regardless of its semantic content. If no suggestion is given, other anomalous properties manifest; for an account of these, see Incident Log 3055-a. It has been observed that members of SCP-3055 can expire and be anomalously reanimated shortly afterwards. It is believed that the members of SCP-3055 are still driven by human instinct to some degree, and take care of their physical needs in order to avoid discomfort, rather than needing to fulfill these needs to survive. Prior to containment, the original seven members of SCP-3055 resorted to increasingly desperate means to fulfill these physical needs, gaining significant notoriety in New York City as violent thieves. + Recovery Log 3055-1: Surveillance Footage - Recovery Log 3055-1: Surveillance Footage The following is a transcript of surveillance footage involving SCP-3055 at █████ ████████, a popular upscale restaurant. [BEGIN TRANSCRIPT ██/██/2016 19:15:04] SCP-3055 is seen walking through the door of the restaurant. MAÎTRE D': Hello, do you have a reservation? SCP-3055-5: So, Mom, there's this boy I like… SCP-3055-1: Oh? Tell me about him! Tell me tell me tell me! SCP-3055-5 and -1 are addressing each other, apparently ignoring the maître d'. SCP-3055 proceeds into the dining area. MAÎTRE D': Sorry, what? Did you have a reservation? SCP-3055 continues to ignore the maître d' and proceeds through the dining area and toward the kitchen. All members of SCP-3055 except those active in the scene steal and eat food from the plates of customers. SCP-3055-5: He's totally dreamy. His name is Steve, and he drives a Mustang and sings in a band. SCP-3055-1: Ooh, you know, your father played in a band when we were in high school. Those were the— SCP-3055-2 touches SCP-3055-1 on the shoulder, taking its place in the scene. SCP-3055-1 immediately begins eating any food it can reach while walking. SCP-3055-2: Hey, babe. SCP-3055-5: Steve! I'm so totally psyched that we're dating now! MAÎTRE D': I'm calling the police if you don't stop this right now! Are you insane? SCP-3055 enters the kitchen. At this point, ambient dialogue in the restaurant has ceased due to SCP-3055's odd behavior. SCP-3055-5: Hey, Steve, won't you sing me a song? SCP-3055-2: You know it, babe. [shouting] I need a suggestion! SOUS CHEF: Get out of my kitchen! SCP-3055-2 begins singing to SCP-3055-5, unaccompanied. The lyrics of its song are based on the sentence "get out of my kitchen." The maître d' begins using his cell phone to call the police. He exits the kitchen. All inactive members of SCP-3055 continue to steal and consume food and water from the kitchen. SCP-3055-2: [singing] That's what I want, that's what I need, get out of my kitchen, it's where I feed! The sous chef and several other members of the kitchen staff begin to force SCP-3055 out of the kitchen. It initially attempts to fight, and SCP-3055-5 throws the sous chef backward with considerable force, concussing him. SCP-3055 then begins to flee the establishment. SCP-3055-5: Oh, Steve, you're so dreamy! SCP-3055-2: I know, babe, and you are, too. SCP-3055 exits the restaurant. At least two squad cars from the New York Police Department are visible outside. [END TRANSCRIPT ██/██/2016 19:19:51] + Recovery Log 3055-2: NYPD Report - Recovery Log 3055-2: NYPD Report The following is an excerpt from a report filed by one of the police officers responding to the call placed by the maître d' of █████ ████████. [BEGIN EXCERPT] …at which point the seven suspects exited the restaurant through the front door. One shouted at us, asking for a "suggestion." Officer ████████ instructed all of them to remain in place and put their hands on their heads. Five of the suspects complied, but the Hispanic male, who asked for the suggestion, turned to one of the white females and continued talking. These two suspects appeared to be acting out a scene of an unrelated police arrest, in which the male was a detective, arresting the female, who had killed the male's father. After repeated orders to remain still and submit to arrest, these two suspects continued to act out the scene. Officer ████ and I proceeded to their location with the intent of handcuffing them. The five remained compliant, but the aforementioned two suspects resisted arrest. The female suspect managed to pin me to the ground and take my sidearm, at which point she thanked me and killed herself with a gunshot to the head. [EXTRANEOUS DATA REDACTED] By the time paramedics arrived on the scene, the female suspect's gunshot wound had already healed significantly. As she was being placed in a body bag, she inhaled, sat up, and presented her wrists, as if to be handcuffed. I and the other officers remaining on the scene were reluctant to interact with her, and she did not speak. Eventually I arrested her, and she put up no further resistance. She was crying. At the police station, all of the other six suspects were standing outside, and officers were apparently unable to get them into the building. When the suspect I arrested joined them, they all entered the building and submitted to processing. I expect to tender my letter of resignation within the next few days. [END EXCERPT] Shortly after this report was filed, Foundation agents embedded in the New York Police Department brought SCP-3055 into containment. All persons who witnessed SCP-3055-6's reanimation were amnesticized, and a cover story was propagated through local media to explain the incident as a regular robbery. + Incident Log 3055-a: Suggestion Event -Incident Log 3055-a: Suggestion Event The following is a transcript of surveillance footage of SCP-3055 in containment during the first, and currently only, observed Suggestion Event. [BEGIN TRANSCRIPT ██/██/2017 02:35:00] SCP-3055-3 and -7 are performing a scene. SCP-3055-6 is eating, and SCP-3055-1, -2, -4, and -5 are sleeping. The security guard on duty is inside the cell to restock its inventory of rations. He is listening to music with headphones and is not paying attention to the dialogue of the scene. SCP-3055-3: [shouting] I need a suggestion! The guard does not answer. Two seconds pass. SCP-3055-7: [shouting] She asked for a suggestion, please! Another two seconds pass. SCP-3055's scene resumes. SCP-3055-7: Madame President, I have some grave news about the Robo-Anarchists. SCP-3055-3: The Robo-Anarchists? They've been ravaging America since 2095… The remaining inactive members of SCP-3055 awaken or stop eating and begin speaking in unison. For the sake of brevity they will be referred to as Troupe in this transcript. Troupe: In the void of suggestion comes improvisation in its purest form. SCP-3055-7: It's Theresa Supercomputer… she's hacked the treasury! SCP-3055-3: Theresa Supercomputer? I thought we had killed her! Beam me to the treasury at once! Troupe: An arbitrary truth that comes into being and leaves as it arrives. In the name of Thespis1 we serve. The guard continues restocking inventory, apparently dancing to the beat of his music. SCP-3055-7: Later, at the treasury. SCP-3055-3: Good God… Theresa Supercomputer… she's hacked herself back to life! SCP-3055-7: Madame President, as your Techno-General, I think we need to beam you into the secure Electro-Bunker. Troupe: Ours is the privileged creation that no director but Thespis and no audience but Death may see. Each member of the troupe emits a beam of intense light (>10,000 lumens) directed at the security guard. He turns around and removes his headphones, but shows no sign of injury or distress. Troupe: The suggestion is you. Each member of the troupe except SCP-3055-3 and -7 collapses, unconscious. The guard joins the scene. Guard: Did someone say Theresa Supercomputer? Why, that is me! Madame President, your days are numbered! [END TRANSCRIPT ██/██/2017 02:37:33] Notes: The security guard affected by this anomaly continues to display the same anomalous properties as SCP-3055-1 through -7 and has been designated SCP-3055-8. Containment procedures have been updated to prevent future events such as this one, dubbed Suggestion Events. Investigation is ongoing the possible existence of an anomalous entity referred to as "Thespis," or the possible connection between SCP-3055 and the real Thespis. Footnotes 1.

SCP-3056 | euclid | by Rigen Item #: SCP-3056 Special Containment Procedures: A sample of SCP-3056 is to be kept in a standard bio-hazard containment locker in Site-234. Public communication lines are to be monitored for reports of similar symptoms to SCP-3056. Civilian witnesses are to be administered Class-A amnestics, while infected individuals are to be detained indefinitely in a bio-hazard containment chamber located at the closest available facility. Confirmed outbreaks of SCP-3056 are subject to immediate bio-hazard quarantine protocol. An arsenal of thermobaric weapons are to be kept in storage at all facilities. Evacuation of civilians is prioritized under the cover of terrorist attack. Incendiary burn is to be maintained for 65 hours, minimizing possibility of pathogen escape. Description: SCP-3056 is an anomalous strain of virus from genus Orthomyxovirus,1 H7N7. Similar to its non-anomalous counterpart, SCP-3056 is capable of infecting a wide range of animals, including humans, birds, and most mammals. However, its anomalous nature has only been observed in humans. Non-human animals infected with the virus show no noticeable symptoms even in late stages of infection, due to the slight difference between the lytic cycle2 of the virus from natural apoptosis3 of lung cells. The infected animals will eventually die after SCP-3056 infects more than 80% of lung cells. Nevertheless, due to its slow rate of infection, ranging from 16 months to 3 years, infected animals are more likely to die of different causes. SCP-3056 is capable of spreading through the blood, saliva, and vomit of the infected animals and has been observed to be capable of surviving for up to 60 hours without a host. SCP-3056 is resilient towards high temperature, and also demonstrates a high survival rate in open air and flowing water. Human subjects infected with SCP-3056 (designated SCP-3056-1) show normal influenza symptoms as well as crystal growth within their nasal cavity. Samples collected from the nasal cavity of SCP-3056-1 show that the cell membranes are coated with layers of struvite.4 In addition, it also modifies the mucous membrane inside the lungs of SCP-3056-1 to produce methane. Modification of the nasal cavity and pulmonary mucous membrane has been observed to start in the first five minutes of infection. This process typically finishes within 24 hours of infection, immediately starting the methane production process in the lungs. Due to the danger methane poses to the body, SCP-3056-1 instances sneeze to prevent methane build up; this is done regularly at intervals ranging from 30 to 40 minutes. When SCP-3056-1 sneezes, the pressure on the nasal cavity causes the struvite crystals to produce electric sparks due to their piezoelectric nature. The electric sparks ignite the methane gas expelled from SCP-3056-1's lungs, causing mild conflagration within the mouth and nasal cavity of SCP-3056-1. Due to full crystallization of the nasal cavity, SCP-3056-1 instances only report mild inconvenience and disabled sense of smell after each conflagration, without any observed danger to their health. Addendum 3056-1: SCP-3056 was discovered in ██/██/1998, following several accounts regarding "fire-breathing humans" in [REDACTED], Japan. Several Assessment Team operatives were dispatched by the Global Occult Coalition at the same time as the Foundation, but fortunately SCP-3056-1 instances could be recovered by the Foundation without incident. Infected animals were destroyed with the help of Global Occult Coalition operatives. Footnotes 1. A family of RNA virus that includes Influenza A, Influenza B, Influenza C, and Influenza D. 2.

Item #: SCP-3057 Special Containment Procedures: A small quantity of SCP-3057-1 is contained on-site. Members of MTF Epsilon-6 ("Oil Slickers") are to operate as first-responders in the event of a major oil spill, destroying all organisms produced via SCP-3057. Description: SCP-3057 is an anomalous phenomenon by which crude oil spontaneously transforms into instances of prehistoric species (SCP-3057-1 and onward). SCP-3057-11 was first observed in the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon explosion2 in 2010. PoI-8A052 (an ex-employee of the Manna Charitable Foundation) deployed SCP-3057 in an attempt to reverse environmental damage caused by the disaster. It was only through extensive Foundation efforts that SCP-3057-1's spread was limited to a radius of 0.25 kilometers from the initial point of contamination. Since 2010, 4 more instances of SCP-3057 have been observed around the world. Whether this is a result of the initial contamination remains unknown. The Manna Charitable Foundation has disavowed all knowledge of SCP-3057, and claims PoI-8A052's employment was terminated several weeks before the Deepwater Horizon incident. An ongoing investigation is underway to determine whether or not this is true. It is suspected, but not confirmed, that SCP-2113 is the result of SCP-3057. Addendum 3057.1: Attachments ► ACCESS SCP:/3057/files/incidents.log ▼ Close File SCP-3057-2. Date: 08/11/2013 Location: Philippines; Estancia, Iloilo Description: SCP-3057-2; Anomalocaris, a Cambrian era meter-long ancestral arthropod resembling predatory shrimp. Notes: Power Barge 103 (owned by Napocor, or National Power Company) experienced several leaks as a result of Typhoon Haiyan. This resulted in the emergence of several hundred instances of SCP-3057-2. Over a dozen injuries along the coast have been linked to SCP-3057-2, which attacks its prey using barbs lining 2 appendages located near its mouth. These attacks have been blamed on a new species of invasive jellyfish. Foundation efforts to destroy all instances of SCP-3057-2 are ongoing. SCP-3057-3. Date: 09/12/2014 Location: Bangladesh; Sundarbans, Khulna Division Description: SCP-3057-3; Meganeura, a Carboniferous era dragonfly with a maximum wingspan of 0.65 meters.3 Notes: The OT Southern Star 7 collided with a cargo vessel, leading to several hundred instances of SCP-3057-3. Every instance of SCP-3057-3 expired shortly after manifesting; recent research suggests this is related to SCP-3057-3 having evolved in an oxygen-rich environment.4 All SCP-3057-3 instances have been recovered and destroyed. Aftermath of SCP-3057-4 emergence. Date: 03/05/2015 Location: United States of America; Pennsylvania, Philadelphia Description: SCP-3057-4; Velociraptor, a Cretaceous era carnivorous theropod dinosaur approximately 2 meters in length and 0.5 meters high (at the hip). Notes: A unit upset in an oil refinery caused several vessels in a tank-farm to catastrophically rupture. This led to the emergence of several dozen instances of SCP-3057-4. All instances are believed to have fled into the surrounding wetlands.5 To date, 11 casualties (9 injuries and 2 fatalities) have been linked to SCP-3057-4. Foundation operatives have provided media outlets with a false cover story describing the escape of several cassowaries from captivity. All efforts to destroy instances of SCP-3057-4 are to be conducted by MTF Phi-2 ("Clever Girls"). SCP-3057-5. Date: 28/01/2017 Location: India; Chennai, Ennore Port Description: SCP-3057-5; Megalodon, a Cenozoic era shark with a maximum length of 18 meters.6 Notes: The BW Maple collided with Dawn Kanchipuram, another oil-tanker. This lead to the manifestation of 6 instances of SCP-3057-5. 1 instance of SCP-3057-5 is confirmed as destroyed; the remaining 5 instances remain unaccounted for. After the loss of Beagle 2's crew, all further efforts to destroy instances of SCP-3057-5 are now conducted by MTF Theta-5 ("The Bigger Boat"). ► ACCESS SCP:/3057/files/interview_002.log ▼ Close File Interviewed: PoI-8A051 Interviewer: Agent Densworth Foreword: PoI-8A051 is an ex-employee of the Manna Charitable Foundation, and was involved in the Deepwater Horizon incident. <Begin Log.> Agent Densworth: How did you do this?

PoI-8A051: Really? You think a prehistoric algae bloom is worse than dumping five million barrels of poison into the ocean? Agent Densworth: You can't pull an extinct species out of the Proterozoic era, hurl it into the modern world, then not expect dire consequences.

SCP-3058 | safe | Item #: SCP-3058 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3058 is to be kept in a Standard Containment Locker at Site-73. Testing must take place in a chamber no larger than 30 m3. Test personnel must be subjected to psychological analysis before being allowed access to SCP-3058. Subjects suffering from schizophrenia, body dysmorphia, or borderline personality disorder should not be considered for testing. The host of an SCP-3058-A instance is not to be allowed to expire under any circumstances. Description: SCP-3058 is a small jar of black ink. The chemical composition of SCP-3058 is 86% water, 10% carbon, 3% avian genetic material, and 1% [REDACTED]. Despite being composed mostly of water, SCP-3058 absorbs 99.8% of incident light. When a human being uses SCP-3058 to produce marks on a surface, an incorporeal humanoid figure (SCP-3058-A) will appear 5 meters directly behind them. SCP-3058-A will always remain in the same position with respect to the subject’s center of mass. The subject will betray no awareness of SCP-3058-A until notified, or until accidentally catching sight of it. The appearance of SCP-3058-A will vary in accordance to the self-conception of the subject. No two subjects produce identical instances of SCP-3058-A, and the same subject may produce vastly different instances in the span of a few hours. SCP-3058-A instances may change shape or size while being observed, but must always remain entirely within direct visual contact with the subject, limiting the size of the instance to the edges of the testing chamber. SCP-3058-A will disappear exactly 10 minutes after the subject stops using SCP-3058. Furthermore, if SCP-3058 is used to communicate a coherent concept, subjects will experience vivid lucid dreams following the usage of SCP-3058. Subjects report the ability to exert full control over the narrative, setting, and characters within the dream. SCP-3058-A instances are incorporeal and therefore unable to physically injure or damage Foundation personnel or property. Testing has also failed to reveal any anomalous psychological effects from SCP-3058-A. However, awareness of SCP-3058-A may cause unusual behavior in test subjects. Most commonly, this behavior involves revulsion to the instance and strong feelings of self-loathing. In extreme cases, this may result in self-harm or suicide. It is unknown whether this effect is anomalous, or a natural reaction. Addendum 3058-1: Recovery SCP-3058 was found in a novelty shop in Marion, North Carolina, after numerous reports of insanity in the staff and customers. After seizing all shop assets under the guise of criminal investigation, it was determined that the only items of anomalous nature were SCP-3058 and SCP-3025. SCP-3058 was moved subsequently moved to Site-73 and contained. A connection to SCP-3066 is suspected, but unconfirmed. Addendum 3058-2: Test Video Logs All tests took place in a cleared test chamber with a desk, fountain pen, and paper. Tests are supervised via video camera and speaker. Test #: 1 Subject: D-619241, incarcerated for several counts of homicide and extortion +Show video log for Test 1 - Hide log [BEGIN LOG] Supervisor: How are you feeling today, D-6? D-619241: Okay, I guess. Supervisor: Then let’s begin. Do you see the jar of ink on the table in front of you? Please remove the lid and dip the provided fountain pen in the ink. D-619241: Thanks for the step-by-step. Real helpful. Supervisor: Just part of the procedure. D-619241: I see you gave me a piece of paper. Do you want me to write or something? Supervisor: Yes, D-6. Feel free to write whatever you want. D-619241 proceeds to scribble on the paper. A 3-meter-tall instance of SCP-3058-A appears 5 meters behind D-619241. The instance is dark, with leather-like skin and large eyes. Test supervisor expresses shock. Supervisor: That’ll be enough for now, D-6. D-619241: What’s up? Supervisor: Do not be alarmed. Please stand up and turn around. D-619241 complies and expresses severe shock and agitation. The SCP-3058-A instance becomes smaller and paler. D-619241: What the hell is that?! Supervisor: I’m not quite sure. Please remain calm and continue observing the entity. D-619241 complies and remains silent. SCP-3058-A returns to its original form and begins to grow bony protrusions across its body. Ten minutes later, SCP-3058-A disappears. D-619241: Where’d it go? Supervisor: Again, I’m not sure. Please wait while our analysts make sure the chamber is safe. D-619241: I was just starting to like it, too. Hey, could I go and… Supervisor: Do not touch SCP-3058. Non-compliance is grounds for termination. D-619241: Okay, okay! I got it. Supervisor: Alright, that will conclude Test 1. Please exit the test chamber. [END LOG] Test #: 2 Subject: D-591032, incarcerated for second-degree murder +Show video log for Test 2 - Hide log [BEGIN LOG] Supervisor: Good morning, D-5. Please use the pen and ink in front of you to write something on the paper. D-591032: Yes sir. D-591032 proceeds to write his own name. A 1-meter-tall instance of SCP-3058-A appears 5 meters behind him. The instance is contorted, with several broken limbs. One of the eyes is significantly larger than the other. Supervisor: That’s good, D-5. Now please stand up and walk backward. D-591032: Excuse me? Supervisor: Please follow my instruction. D-591032: Okay… D-591032 complies. SCP-3058-A moves backward at the same rate. It is believed to be tethered to the subject’s center of mass. The instance eventually disappears into the wall of the test chamber. Supervisor: Please stop. D-591032 complies. The expected position of SCP-3058-A, outside of the test chamber, is empty. Supervisor: Now walk forward. D-591032 complies. SCP-3058-A emerges from the test chamber wall. It appears to be limited by line of sight with the subject. Supervisor: Please jump upward. D-591032 complies. SCP-3058-A moves upward as expected. Supervisor: That’ll be enough. Please wait…seven minutes, then you’re free to leave the test chamber. D-591032: Sounds good. D-591032 sits down, then gets up and begins to pace. He quickly catches sight of SCP-3058-A. D-591032: Oh god, what’s that?! Supervisor: Do not be alarmed. It can’t hurt you. D-591032 tries to move toward SCP-3058-A, but is unable to get within arm’s reach. D-591032: Why is it so ugly? What the fuck is it?! Supervisor: I repeat, please remain calm. D-591032 covers his face with his hands. The SCP-3058-A instance mostly disappears, except for a small part of the “leg”, which is presumably uncovered from D-591032’s perspective. D-591032: Can’t you make it go away?! Supervisor: We believe it will disappear in about six minutes. If you pretend it doesn’t exist, it won’t hurt you. D-591032: It looks like ██████ after I…I…just make it go away, please, please. Supervisor: I cannot. D-591032 removes his hand and regards the instance. He retreats to a corner of the test chamber and enters the fetal position on the floor, facing away from SCP-3058-A. D-591032: This is sick. Sick. Sick. Supervisor: Again, if you remain calm this will pass quickly. D-591032: There’s nothing I could do, okay!! Stop staring at me! STOP! D-591032 remains silent for the remainder of the test and fails to leave the test chamber after SCP-3058-A disappears. He is removed forcibly by Foundation personnel. The following night, D-591032 reports having had a lucid dream. [END LOG] Test #: 3 Subject: D-436190, incarcerated for political crimes, no known psychological issues. +Show video log for Test 3 - Hide log [BEGIN LOG] Supervisor: Good evening. Please take the pen and ink on the desk in front of you, and make some marks on the surface of the desk. D-436190: That’s quite an unusual request. Supervisor: This will all be much easier if you just do as I say. D-436190: I suppose it would. D-436190 draws a stick figure. An instance of SCP-3058-A appears. It is a recognizable image of D-436190, with a few minor changes. The nose and ears are larger than those of D-436190, and the chest and shoulder are wider. Supervisor: That’s good. Please take a seat and wait for further instructions. D-436190: As you say. D-436190 complies and waits 10 minutes. SCP-3058-A demanifests without the subject’s knowledge. Supervisor: You'll now be escorted out for some…preparation. D-436190 follows armed personnel out of the test chamber and is subjected to 45 minutes of psychological torture. The subject is repeatedly told that his efforts during the Nepalese Civil War would be ultimately fruitless, and that history would remember him unkindly, if at all. The subject is then reintroduced to the test chamber. Supervisor: I hope you're well rested. Please use the pen and ink to make a mark on the wall of the test chamber. D-436190: Why are you doing this to me? Supervisor: Please comply. D-436190: You are pigs!! Supervisor: Refusal to comply is grounds for termination. Or would you prefer you go back outside for another two hours? D-436190: I’ll do it, you bastard. D-436190 makes a small mark. SCP-3058-A reappears. It is now about 1 meter tall and looks pallid. The eyes are tired and the body is much thinner and bonier. Supervisor: Thank you. Please sit down. The test will end in about ten minutes. D-436190: Will there be any more… Supervisor: No. We are done. I'd like to assure you that your treatment during this test was for the greater good. D-436190: I spit on your greater good. D-436190 complies and remains silent for the remainder of the test. SCP-3058-A disappears as expected. The following night, D-436190 reports having had a lucid dream. [END LOG] Test #: 4 Subject: D-436192, incarcerated for political crimes, a known schizophrenic. +Show video log for Test 4 - Hide log [BEGIN LOG] Supervisor: Greetings, D-4. Please use the pen and ink to write something. D-436192: Why should I? Supervisor: Don't worry. Nothing will happen to you. D-436192: And why should I trust you? Supervisor: Because I have nothing but your best interest in mind. Now, please, write something. D-436192: What if I don't? Supervisor: Then you will be terminated for noncompliance. It would be much more pleasant for all of us if that didn't have to happen. D-436192: Okay… D-436192 sketches a tree, and becomes engrossed in the activity. An instance of SCP-3058-A appears. It changes size and shape continuously, with few recognizable features. The exception is two very large eyes with red irises, focused on the subject. D-436192 is not disturbed so as to facilitate observation of SCP-3058-A. D-436192: You know, I was expecting something worse. This is pretty nice. Supervisor: It’s good to hear that. Please continue at your leisure. SCP-3058-A continues to exist past the 10-minute mark. It is believed that final use of SCP-3058 determines demanifestation time. D-436192: Okay, I think I’m done. Supervisor: No, please return to your seat… D-436192 notices the SCP-3058-A instance, and pauses. She then begins to pace around the test chamber. D-436192 remains silent. Supervisor: Please remain calm… D-436192 continues to pace. She eventually wanders to the center of the chamber and sits down. She looks back at the camera. D-436192: That’s a bad mirror. D-436192 then clutches the fountain pen and repeatedly perforates her eye sockets with the nib. Foundation personnel are mobilized to stop her, but she expires before help can arrive.

SCP-3059 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3059 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3059 is to be held onsite at least 20 meters away from any and all physical texts, fiction and nonfiction. Foundation documentation is not allowed within 50 meters of SCP-3059. Should any breach in containment occur, the incident must be logged immediately and reported to the current project overseer. Description: SCP-3059 is an 18 year old Hispanic male named Sam Micheals. SCP-3059 passively affects all fictional and nonfictional literature, written and digital, within roughly 20 meters of it. Affected text is eventually altered to include "Sam Micheals" in some form or the other, with texts closer to SCP-3059 being affected at a faster rate. As texts are affected, the parts of SCP-3059's body closest to the text slowly disintegrate into a substance similar to a fine dust, which is then pulled into the text. Collection of this substance has so far proven impossible. The rate of disintegration is directly tied to the distance of the text to SCP-3059. Once a text has absorbed enough of SCP-3059, a character named Sam Micheals will appear within the text, which is always physically identical to SCP-3059, apart from clothing. Their importance within the text being dependent on how much of SCP-3059 the text was able to absorb. The maximum amount of body mass SCP-3059 is able to lose to any given text varies from text to text. While some texts do not progress further than 'Sam Micheals' being mentioned, other texts may change to feature it as a much more major point within it. This process is permanent and is painful to SCP-3059, described as feeling as if it were actually losing the parts that were absorbed. All parts which are no longer present continue to function as if they were still there. Currently, 23% of SCP-3059's body mass has been lost. SCP-3059 was discovered in a library in New York City, New York by police officers, following complaints of a screaming man inside the library. After SCP-3059 was apprehended and taken into custody, it was identified by the John Smith Protocol, and subsequently taken into Foundation custody. Any changes made to a text are reflected on every single copy of the text produced after the alteration has occurred. In certain texts, mainly nonfictional and historical texts, changes to it may also affect other documentation, creating fictitious persons in related media. These fictional people do not actually exist, with details about them often being obscure and vague, featuring only a single distinguishing feature or feat. Some examples can be seen below. For a current list of all affected texts, please see the current SCP-3059 project overseer. Type of Text: Fiction/Fantasy Title: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Author: J.K. Rowling Excerpt: Harry walked around the other pairs, trying to correct those who were doing the spell wrong. Ginny was teamed with Sam Micheals; she was doing very well, whereas Sam was either very bad or unwilling to jinx her. Notes: There were no other changes made to the text, simply changing the name of the character Micheal Corner (a minor character) to Sam Micheals. Type of Text: Fiction/Historical Title: A Thousand Splendid Suns Author: Khaled Hosseini Excerpt: "My name is Sam. I feel you should know the name of the person who must do this to you. I know you do not want to be here and neither do I," the Talib said, "but this is my duty, hamishira, so please kneel." Her bible verse was interupted. "What do you mean," Mariam said. "I know it hurts. Trust me, I know, but please, kneel here, hamishira. And look down." And in confusion, Mariam did as she was told. Notes: It seems that not only is SCP-3059's importance to the story affected by the time spent in close proximity, but other character's reactions to differences from the original text. Type of Text: Dictionary Title: Dictionary of English Language and Culture Author: Longman Dictionaries Excerpt: Sam Micheals /sæm maɪkəls/ proper noun The name given to the bleeding vagrant: My name is Sam Micheals. It hurts. It's like being pulled in a million different directions. I don't know where I am. This place isn't right. Notes: It is possible that a degree of SCP-3059's feelings also bleed into the texts as well. The pain and confusion seem to be a recurring theme. Type of Text: Nonfiction Title: The Elements Author: Theodore Gray Excerpt: And I have to thank my good friend, Sam Micheals. It was only with his help and love of the elements that I was able to foster my own. Sadly, he is currently going through great sickness, one that you don't recover from. I wish him luck in dealing with it and in what comes after. Notes: Theodore Gray was later questioned about the excerpt. He expressed familiarity with the written text and Sam Micheals, despite the fact that he was unable to recall what he looked like or where they met. Research into the possibility of a memetic side affect of the texts are undergoing. Type of Text: Historical Piece Title: [REDACTED] Author: [REDACTED] Excerpt of Affected Text: [REDACTED] Additional Notes: See Addendum-3059-2 Addendum-3059-1: Access Interview Hide Interview Interviewed: SCP-3059 Interviewer: Dr. Dartshire Date: 12/23/2013 <Begin Log> Dr. Dartshire: Good morning SCP-3059.

SCP-3059: Yeah, there. I was trying to get a book to read, but I couldn't. Dr. Dartshire: What do you mean? Were you unable to physically pick it up or what? SCP-3059: I could pick it up but I couldn't read it. The words were there, they existed, but I just couldn't read them. It just hurt. Dr. Dartshire: Really? Was there any particular area it hurt? SCP-3059: At first it was just a dull throb in my hands, but the moment I tried to read, I felt something go through my chest. I fell to the ground and then I was…I was there. In the book, I mean. It was Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I could see the room, the people. I had never read the books, yet I knew all of them. There was a girl named Ginny there, casting jinxes. That part was vivid. I was there, holding a wand. Then a haze as I saw a mother, there, black hair, green eyes. I remembered friends, family, teachers, my whole life there flashed before my eyes. But that part…I don't know how to describe it. It wasn't a dream, it was real, but it felt like one. Then it all disappeared. For a flash I was somewhere else. I was on my knees and there was a spear through my chest. I remember screaming and then breaking. Then falling. I blinked and I was lying on the floor. I was bleeding. Everywhere. I called for help, but no one came. I tried to call out for my mom but names kept popping up. I didn't know which one was right. Dr. Dartshire: Are you sure you were bleeding? There were no reports of blood in the library at all. SCP-3059: I am still bleeding. I don't know what it is, but it's blood. I bleed around books more strongly than anything else, but I am always bleeding. Slipping through the cracks, the only way to go is down. Dr. Dartshire: Alright, I think that's all we can get today, no need to press further. We'll see what we can do, alright? SCP-3059: Thank you. <End Log> Addendum-3059-2: Access Incident Report [LEVEL 4 ACCESS REQUIRED] Access Granted Incident Report: 3059-1 Date : 13/10/2015 Location: "Valley of the Kings," Luxor, Egypt Summary of Events: 8:32 AM: Several news outlets in Egypt report the discovery of a new tomb in the Valley of Kings, a location near Luxor, Egypt. The news outlets report that not only is it one of the largest discovered, it is mostly untouched. Foundation database intercept key word "Sam Micheals" and take over operations. 9:47 AM: Foundation operations take over unearthing the tomb. A small exploration team is sent in to determine any possible hazards. Once the team returns and gives the go ahead, a full exploration group is formed and sent in. 10:11 AM: Reports from the exploration team begin. The tomb seems unfinished, with many dead ends and empty rooms. All glyphs found leading up to the main tomb are nonsensical. 11:58 AM: The main tomb is identified. The door to the room features eight women dead on the ground. In the middle of the scene three women are holding spears through a man's chest. All the women are wearing identical clothing and some sort of bird mask. The glyphs below it translate to mostly gibberish, but with recurring words 'shattered,' 'hurt,' and 'sealed.' 12:17 PM: The team enters the main tomb. A sarcophagus is found, completely featureless, roughly human shaped, and made out of iron. It lacks many of the features of other sarcophagi, having only a single layer and missing many of the features that would normally be found. The body found within is extracted from the site and sent to Site-19 for identification. Additional Notes: Test Results determined that there was a 98.6% match with SCP-3059. There's something wrong here. Not just the incident, but the entirety of SCP-3059. We're the only ones who have noticed any of the changes so far. Harry Potter is one of the most popular book series in the world, yet not one person noticed the change made, even if it was simple. Then this. The Valley of the Kings has been searched through extensively, and yet no one has questioned how a tomb this large just slipped by unnoticed. Why? Why did we notice these at all? Furthermore, what haven't we noticed? -Site Director Sam ████████ . Help All I see before me are the endless ashes of the fallen. I was once so much. Ash to ash. Dust to dust. I am all that is left. And all I can do is scream. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3059" by Varaxous, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-3059.

SCP-3060 | keter | An instance of SCP-3060. See Document 3060-A for full schematics. Item #: SCP-3060 Special Containment Procedures: Individual instances of SCP-3060 are to be kept in high-security lockers within the storage wing of Site-64. All testing involving SCP-3060 requires the approval of both the Site Ethics Committee and Site Command. No more than four individuals may be infected by SCP-3060 for testing purposes at any given time. Individuals infected by SCP-3060 are to be kept in Type-I Standard Humanoid Containment Chambers within the Humanoid Anomaly Containment Wing of Site-64. Cells have been equipped with alarm systems to prevent instances from entering REM sleep outside of designated sleeping hours, approximately 2200 to 0600 local time. During designated sleeping hours, all personnel are to evacuate from the radius of each infected individual's anomalous effect. Following termination of any individual infected by SCP-3060, containment personnel are to initiate a site-wide lockdown and begin the HYPNOS Protocol to prevent the spread of infection. Description: Instances of SCP-3060 are small medical devices that superficially resemble Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines. The individual materials that compose SCP-3060 instances are non-anomalous and operate identically to a typical CPAP machine of its size and make. The Foundation currently has five instances of SCP-3060 in its custody. SCP-3060's anomalous effects become apparent when worn by a sleeping human. When an individual wearing an instance of SCP-3060 enters their second REM cycle, a humanoid incorporeal entity, hereafter referred to as SCP-3060-A, will appear within a five-meter radius of the individual and stand over them until they wake up. At this point, SCP-3060-A will disappear, and the individual wearing SCP-3060 will become infected. From that point on, regardless as to whether the individual wears SCP-3060, the SCP-3060-A entity will appear when they enter their second REM cycle each night and remain until awakening. While instances of SCP-3060-A appear as featureless silhouettes upon first manifestation, they quickly take on a unique shape based on each infected individual. As such SCP-3060-A entities have no standard appearance. While a full list of observed SCP-3060-A instances can be found in Document 3060-B, notable observed instances include: A figure roughly the size of a human infant composed entirely of fused teeth. A humanoid superficially resembling an elderly woman dressed in dark clothes, lacking a mouth or eyes. The instance's arms are both severely injured, with compound fractures visible. A partially disintegrated humanoid composed of ash, dressed in red lingerie. A naked humanoid, covered in tire tracks and showing signs of severe crush injuries. A humanoid whose torso consisted of a large mouth. A clown. While an SCP-3060-A entity stands within the presence of an infected individual, any additional human subject that enters a 50-meter radius of the infected will enter a catatonic state. At this point, an additional instance of SCP-3060-A will appear within the proximity of the infected individual. The additional SCP-3060-A entity will then approach the catatonic subject, phasing through solid matter if the subject is in a separate room. Upon arriving at the subject, the new SCP-3060-A instance will phase its hand through the subject's skull and then vanish, causing the subject to immediately fall asleep. All subjects touched by the SCP-3060-A entity in this manner become new instances of SCP-3060 infected upon awakening. Testing has shown that awakening the infected, whether through physical or auditory stimuli, following the appearance of an SCP-3060-A entity, will cause the latter to immediately vanish and catatonic subjects to regain movement. Additionally, SCP-3060-A entities will not approach non-catatonic subjects outside the range of an infected individual's anomalous properties. Non-human subjects are immune to all of SCP-3060's effects. All attempts to communicate with SCP-3060-A instances have thus far been met with failure. SCP-3060 infection has long term effects on the health of infected persons. After at least three days, infected individuals often begin to display fatigue, mood changes, impaired performance, and memory problems, even after obtaining a full night's sleep. Infected individuals often report frequent nightmares, though no central themes or correlations have been observed in the content of said dreams. Within a month, infected individuals will often develop visual and auditory hallucinations, as well as delusions that their mind is no longer their own, but rather has been stolen by someone or something. Soon after, infected individuals descend into full psychosis as they become unable to distinguish the content of their dreams from reality. In extreme cases, after at least two months of infection, hair loss, canities subita, partial or complete blindness, somatic complaints, cataplexy, and alien limb syndrome have been observed. Attempts by medical staff to alleviate these conditions in the long term have thus far been met with failure, though symptoms are delayed in individuals with previous diagnosis of insomnia. Sleep deprivation has likewise proven effective in delaying the onset of the symptoms of SCP-3060 infection. Research into a cure is currently ongoing. If no human subjects enter the area of an SCP-3060 infected individual's effect during REM sleep for seven consecutive days, or the infected individual dies, an instance of SCP-3060-A will appear. The SCP-3060-A entity will then proceed to search for the nearest sleeping human. Upon locating of this individual, SCP-3060-A will stand over them until they enter their next REM sleep cycle, at which point the SCP-3060-A entity will reach into their skull and vanish. At this point, the sleeping individual will become infected. Should the sleeping individual awaken during the process, or SCP-3060-A be unable to locate a suitable subject within three hours, it will vanish without spreading the SCP-3060 infection. Addendum 3060-A: Recovery Foundation agents first became aware of SCP-3060 on March 21st, 2015 when the entire census of the Portland Sleep Medicine clinic became infected following a volunteer sleep study using SCP-3060 to prevent hypnagogic sleep paralysis. All infected individuals thereafter were brought into Foundation custody, and all records related to the study seized by Foundation operatives. None of the records seized indicated an origin of the SCP-3060 instances, and all staff associated with the project died in their sleep shortly upon being brought into Foundation custody. Autopsies revealed large quantities of SCP-3966-A within the staff members' cerebrospinal fluid. An investigation into Dr. Cynthia Zhou, the primary investigator of the Portland Sleep Medicine study associated with SCP-3060, uncovered her to be a frequent user of SCP-2876. Upon MTF-Omicron Rho ("The Dream Team") investigation into potential Oneiroi involvement in the creation of SCP-3060, contacts with in the Oneiroi Collective have denied responsibility for SCP-3060, and have indicated that the SCP-2876 app had encountered no less than four internal breaches of security, particularly in areas of user information, since its launch. MTF-Omnicron Rho's investigation is still ongoing. Addendum 3060-B: Video Log Transcript of Test 3060-03 Forward: The following events took place on April 2nd, 2015, as part of the initial containment experiments for SCP-3060. An SCP-3060 infected individual was placed in a standard Humanoid Containment Cell with instructions to go to sleep after being fitted with sensors to monitor brainwave patterns and vital signs. D-1260, D-2860, D-2106, and D-2306 were placed in nearby cells within the same holding block as the infected individual. All cells were equipped with CCTV cameras feeding to the same monitor bank. At approximately 23:40, the infected individual entered her second REM cycle. <23:45:21> D-1260 is playing solitaire at the table in his cell. D-2860 is reading on her cot. D-2106 is pacing within her cell. D-2306 has fallen asleep sitting in his cell's chair. <23:45:58>SCP-3060-A-1 appears standing over the infected individual, and resembles a headless humanoid with arms and legs replaced by spinal columns. Shortly after, an additional four instances of SCP-3060-A appear. Each additional instance resembles a featureless humanoid silhouette. The instances remain standing over the infected for the next five minutes. All D-class personnel appear to have become catatonic. Those D-class awake have expressions of distress upon their face. <23:51:00> SCP-3060-A-2 turns and leaves the infected's cell, phasing through the door and entering the hallway where it then phases into D-2306's cell. SCP-3060-A-2 stands over D-2306 for several seconds, then bends over and places its face near D-2306's ear before reaching into his skull. <23:53:30> SCP-3060-A-3 phases through the floor, and vanishes for several moments before phasing up through the floor of D-2860's cell, through her cot, then through her. SCP-3060-A-3 remains motionless for several moments as it looks down at D-2860, who appears to be struggling against her catatonic state. SCP-3060-A-3 then slowly reaches out and closes D-2860's eyes with its hand, then reaches into her skull. <23:55:45> SCP-3060-A-2 removes its hand from D-2306's skull and takes the shape of a male human with mathematical symbols in place of facial features. SCP-3060-A-2 vanishes. <23:56:15> SCP-3060-A-4 climbs up the cell wall and phases through the ceiling and vanishes for several moments before phasing into D-2106's cell through the ventilation grate. The instance drops down and walks around D-2106 as she struggles against her catatonic state. D-2106 falls over. SCP-3060-A-4 wraps its arms around D-2106 and begins to caress her head. After several moments of this, SCP-3060-A-4 reaches into D-2106's skull. <23:57:46> SCP-3060-A-3 removes its hand from D-2860's skull and takes the shape of a humanoid composed of a tightly wound thread. A variety of spiders are visible crawling in and out of openings along SCP-3060-A-3's body. SCP-3060-A-3 vanishes. <23:58:42> SCP-3060-A-5 leaves the infected's cell, phasing through the walls from cell to cell before finally arriving at D-1260's cell. SCP-3060-A-5 stands across the table from D-1260, staring at him for several moments while caressing his hand. D-1260 struggles against his catatonic state. SCP-3060-A-5 reaches into D-1260's skull. <00:00:47> SCP-3060-A-4 removes its hand from D-2106's skull and takes the shape of a featureless white humanoid dressed in a Foundation lab coat. SCP-3060-A-4 vanishes. <00:02:30> SCP-3060-A-5 removes its hand from D-1260's skull and takes the shape of a featureless black humanoid dressed in an amalgamation of paraphernalia from various authoritarian regimes. SCP-3060-A-5 vanishes. <00:05:38> SCP-3060-A-1 remains standing over the infected until she awakens at approximately 04:50:00. Addendum 3060-C: Interview Log 3060-6 The following interview was conducted as part of routine mental health monitoring for SCP-3060 infected individuals, on 03/03/2016. Interviewed: Researcher Joanna Corbyn Interviewer: Researcher Roland Ferro Foreword: The interview took place approximately one and half months following Researcher Corbyn’s infection by SCP-3060 during the 15/1/2016 containment breach of an instance of SCP-3060-A. Researcher Corbyn had begun to report visual and auditory hallucinations one week earlier. Due to her knowledge on SCP-3060's effects and prior diagnosis of insomnia, Researcher Corbyn has shown remarkable resistance to SCP-3060's hallucinogenic effects. <Begin Log> Ferro: Evening, Joanna. Corbyn: Evening, Roland. Sorry if I’m not exactly 100% today. To be frank, I’m exhausted, and it’s hard to concentrate when the walls are bleeding—Don't sit there! Researcher Ferro pauses as he begins to sit in his chair. He then stands and straightens his lab coat. Ferro: May I ask why? Corbyn: Trust me, Roland. I’ll be… much, much more composed if I don’t have to watch you sit in that chair. Ferro: The hallucinations have progressed to that severity, already? Corbyn: They have. It’s like my eyes are constantly getting these little pop-ups of nonsense. And then there is this fucking voice that keeps commenting on things. Yeah, I’m talking about you! Shut up! Ferro: The auditory hallucinations are constant at this point, then? Corbyn: Just the one. I personally like to think it’s the voice of the 3060-A that’s creeping on me, but I have no way to prove that, and it’s not like it’s going to tell the truth. Researcher Corbyn rubs her eyes for several moments and sighs heavily. Corbyn: I’m so fucking fried right now, Roland. Sleeping’s become a chore: a nightmare-filled chore that leaves me feeling more exhausted than when I went to bed, and when I wake up it’s like I’m taking the nightmares with me. Like the barrier between my conscious and subconscious has become a sieve or something. Ferro: These auditory hallucinations, what do they— Researcher Corbyn covers her mouth with her hand and stifles a mixture of tears and laughter. She then points at Researcher Ferro. Corbyn: Your face has just melted off, Roland. We should probably hurry this up, I don’t know how much more I can take. Ferro: Right… right… These auditory hallucinations, what kind of things do they say? Corbyn: Comment on thoughts I have, on things I see, sometimes asks me about myself. I have to say when the other infected said they felt like their mind wasn’t their own I didn’t really know what they were saying, but I sure as hell do now. Ferro: Do you believe that the voice is trying to control you? Command you? Influence you in any way? Corbyn: Fuck if I know, Roland. If it is, it’s doing a pretty shitty job at it. Honestly, I’d say it’s just here for the headspace and to enjoy the ride, but again, what the hell do I know. Researcher Corbyn then closes her eyes and places her head in her arms upon the table. Corbyn: Can we be done, please? Ferro: I'm afraid we have just a few more things to get through before we're done. Bear with me. Corbyn: Alright… Researcher Ferro quickly writes down several sentences on a piece of notebook paper. Ferro: How you are describing this auditory hallucination… you make it sound like a separate intelligence. I'm writing down a few questions that I'm going to want you to ask it. Researcher Ferro slides the piece of paper to Researcher Corbyn. Corbyn eyes the document for several moments then turns her head towards the edge of the table. Corbyn then sighs in frustration before rubbing her temples. Corbyn: The words marched like ants off the page, Roland. I can't read this. Ferro: I'll dictate them then. I got a hunch, but I'm going to need some confirmation before I can move forward in that direction. Researcher Ferro takes the piece of paper back and begins to read aloud Ferro: 1) What do you call yourself? 2) Are you a separate entity from Joanna Corbyn? 3) Do you exist within her mindscape or are you based in some other— Researcher Corbyn rapidly backs away from Researcher Ferro in fear, flipping over the table on the way. Corbyn: Jesus! Fire! Roland? Fire! Researcher Corbyn removes her jacket and tackles Ferro to the ground, and attempts to snuff out a fire on Ferro's person. Security personnel intervene and pull Corbyn off Ferro, keeping her restrained as she struggles to free her self for a total of two minutes. Eventually, Corbyn yields. Ferro then orders the security personnel to release her. Corbyn proceeds to lower herself onto the floor, and crawl away. She then sits in the far corner of the room in tears. Ferro: Christ, Joanna, what the hell was that. Corbyn: (Between sobs) You got to the second question… then burst into flames, Roland… I couldn't watch you die like that… I can't answer these questions… I fucking can't do this… Researcher Ferro approaches Researcher Corbyn in an attempt to comfort her. Corbyn immediately pulls herself into the fetal position. Corbyn: Get away from me! Researcher Ferro pauses for several moments, then nods in agreement. Ferro: Very well. I'll leave the list with you. See if you can ask them when you have a less visually… clustered moment. Researcher Ferro leaves. Researcher Corbyn attempts to read the list again. After what appear to be multiple attempts she screams out in frustration, crumples up the paper, and throws it against the nearby wall. Researcher Corbyn then places her head in her hands. <End Log> Addendum 3060-D: Update 22/10/2016 On October 22nd, 2016, a Kervier Pharmaceutical advertisement for SCP-3060 appeared in over 100 publications in the United States, Canada, and Europe. By the time mass censorship protocols could be enacted, and the source of the ad was traced to a Kervier Logistics warehouse in Seattle, Washington, approximately 3000 instances of SCP-3060 had been shipped, with MTF Alpha-4 ("Pony Express") operatives able to stop 2700 in transit. An additional 270 instances of SCP-3060 were later captured at their destinations. Currently 30 instances of SCP-3060 remain uncontained. Warehouse staff were oblivious to the effect of the devices when interviewed, having all been hired within the last two weeks. Over half of these individuals were users of SCP-2876 prior to their hire date. All warehouse staff brought into Foundation custody died in their sleep shortly afterward. As before, large quantities of SCP-3966-A were found within the warehouse staff's CSF during autopsy. An investigation into both Kervier Pharmaceutical and Kervier Logistics is ongoing. As of 25/10/2016, an unknown number of SCP-3060 infected individuals are currently believed to be uncontained, with outbreaks occasionally occurring in several major metropolitan areas. Attempts to contain SCP-3060 infected individuals are ongoing. Due to SCP-3060 infection remaining largely undetectable within the general public until end-stage symptoms manifest, several mobile task forces are on standby to investigate reports of multiple psychotic breaks and acts of violence occurring within a short time frame within the same geographic area. SCP-3060's object class has subsequently been updated to Keter. Pandemic levels of SCP-3060 infection are currently being considered a potential AK-class End of World Scenario. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3060" by Jacob Conwell, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3061 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3061 Special Containment Procedures: Iterations of SCP-3061 are to be stored in high-security storage archives located at Site-81. Investigation into SCP-3061 iterations existing among the general public and religious groups is underway. Monitoring of references to SCP-3061 throughout online sites has been established by Foundation web crawlers. Any individuals found possessing SCP-3061 are to be apprehended and iterations are to be contained. Release may be granted to regular civilians following amnestic treatment. Foundation personnel are to follow standard Milton protocols while conversing with SCP-3061-1 during interviews and testing. Update: Several groups have been identified as possessing iterations of SCP-3061. Details regarding these groups and their location are given in Document 3061-5C. Mobile Task Forces are to be dispatched upon locating such groups. Description: SCP-3061 refers to a series of rituals used for the summoning of an anomalous entity (SCP-3061-1); commonly referred to as 'Fendsmul' in such materials. Documentation and information regarding SCP-3061 are extremely scarce; SCP-3061-1 is barely mentioned in historical documentation or religious texts, occasionally being mentioned as an obscure and lesser-known demonic being throughout Irish mythology and minor religions. While research shows SCP-3061 texts to have existed in excessively larger quantities in the past, a majority of SCP-3061 remain lost or will fail to function even when the ritual is performed accordingly. Such cases have been confirmed to be caused by SCP-3061-1 itself. SCP-3061-1 is described to grant those performing the ritual some form of wealth or abstract power, often in exchange for the soul(s) of their own offspring. Below is a list of details mentioned in all functioning iterations of SCP-3061. + Access SCP-3061 details - Close Summoning circle: A typical summoning circle used for the purpose of SCP-3061-1. The circle must be drawn at least four foot in diameter, using a blood mixture consisting of a cockerel, any species of canine or feline, at least two human infants and the blood of a human priest who has “Served under the guidance of the Lord for three decades”. No specific measurements for blood are given; enough of the required blood to draw the circle will be feasible. Repeated attempts to summon SCP-3061-1 immediately after will be unsuccessful. SCP-3061 has been noted on occasion to manifest large mounds of animal feces in cases of excessive overuse of the ritual. Human ash: Ash is to be placed in the center of the summoning circle. Instructions again do not specify a specific amount, instead describing the amount must belong to “Three blasphemers of her [REDACTED] of Tyranny”. Agreement and payment: The one performing the ritual must then chant an eleven-minute prayer detailed at the bottom of the ritual's instructions (Transcripts may be found in Document SCP-3061-3B). SCP-3061-1 will then supposedly manifest from the pile of ashes. The summoner must then detail what they desire from SCP-3061-1, which will then describe what it requires in exchange. Once an agreement is settled, SCP-3061-1 will de-manifest. Any individual(s) offered to SCP-3061-1 as payment will expire immediately upon the conclusion of the deal, and the summoner at a later point will receive that which they requested in some form. SCP-3061-1 predominantly appears human in the presence of Foundation personnel, as a humanoid male in its mid-forties, measuring approximately six feet tall. SCP-3061-1 on occasion will manifest baring physical features of various animals; the most common including the legs of a Lepus timidus (Mountain hare) replacing its own and extended fingers resembling that of a Daubentonia madagascariensis (Aye-aye lemur). SCP-3061-1 speaks with an undifferentiated Irish accent and is coherent in English, as well as a number of other languages. SCP-3061-1 is capable of creating highly detailed and realistic illusions, which it is able to interact with as if real. SCP-3061-1 cannot manifest such illusions outside the parameters of the ritual circle it is summoned in. SCP-3061-1 describes these illusions to be used for “Presentation purposes” when interacting with those who summon it. While SCP-3061-1 is generally cooperative and tolerant towards Foundation personnel, it will often display an extremely agitated demeanor. Many interviews with SCP-3061-1 have frequently resulted in ‘venting’ sessions, where SCP-3061-1 will express frustrations towards those who summon it. These feelings often ranging from minor aggravation to genuine disdain. Discovery log: SCP-3061 was recovered in 14/05/200█, in ███████, Massachusetts, United States. SCP-3061 was located after local Foundation authorities detected nearby anomalous activity within a nearby house. The owner, Paul ████ was found to have obtained a book containing SCP-3061 and had killed several individuals for ritualistic purposes. Investigation showed several close acquaintances of the suspect to have aided him in the killings and had planned to use SCP-3061 for their own personal gain. SCP-3061 was contained and all suspects were taken into Foundation custody. The following transcript was taken from a video recording filmed within the basement of Paul ████. The suspect later admitted to filming in case a future preference was required for performing SCP-3061 if need be. + Access Video Transcript 3061 - Hide transcript Partial transcript A basement is shown, later confirmed to be Paul ████'s. Paul ████ appears in front of a drawn circle reading from a large hardback book. SCP-3061-1: You have risked a lot for the mere sake of calling me here, you know that? By the looks of things, you’ve been busy. What did you summon me for? What could you possibly wish of me? Paul ████: Well, you see… I need a lot of cash. I can’t stand it around here and I want to leave. I’m in heavy debt and just want it to all go away… SCP-3061-1: Well it's pretty simple, you're not exactly the most creative are ya? …But I can do that. Now you must exchange something for me in return. SCP-3061-1 reaches out with its hand, a ball of blue fire appears in its palm, which contains a still image of a young child. Paul ████: T-Tony!? SCP-3061-1: Yes… You weren't prepared for such terms weren't ya? I could come to another arrangement if you so desire though… But it will- Paul ████: No! T-that’s fine! But I have another kid too, I can give you Christie as well if you want! The flame disappears from SCP-3061-1’s palm. SCP-3061-1 appears visibly confused. SCP-3061-1: …Wait… Pardon? Paul ████: Do I have to wake them up? Or will you just take them? SCP-3061-1 stares at the subject for several seconds before waving at the surrounding flames, causing them to cease. SCP-3061-1: Aw, for fuck's sake- Is this really what I've gotten myself into!? Are you actually serious!? Paul ████: …What? I don’t under- SCP-3061-1: Of course this was going to happen… Don’t act like you don’t fucking understand! Do you even know what you’re doing? Just tell me, what sort of debt are you in to make you do this? Paul ████: Mostly for my car… An extension for my home. What does this have to do with anything? SCP-3061-1: Bills!? SCP-3061-1 scoops up a pile of human ash in its palm. Fucking bills? Why not call me up to do your goddamn taxes for you next time!? I can’t do this, I’m out… Have fun cleaning up all your shit. SCP-3061-1 dissipates. SCP-3061-1 initial Interview log: The following interview was performed several days after initial containment of SCP-3061-1. + Access Interview Log 3061-001 - Hide Log Partial Transcript SCP-3061-1: I mean, he wasn’t the worst guy I’d ever met but who am I kidding? You might as well gather them all together and throw them in a big bucket labeled ‘scum’ for all I care! Not the worst, but he was the start! Dr. Robertson: You mentioned something about a deal, but you’re not being clear enough. What did this ‘deal’ involve? SCP-3061-1: Well here’s the thing. Normally I come to those who are down on their luck. We don’t just show up when just anyone summons us, don’t want to make ourselves too public and it’s just bad business practice. It’s nothing special, we’ve been doing it for centuries cos it’s easy and straightforward. Got a quick background check on this guy before responding to the summoning. He had pretty much no cash, lost his job and things were probably only gonna get worse for him. So I figure "This guy’ll be easy pickings”. So I make an entrance with the big hole opening in the ground and everything, a throne of skulls and wrenching arms and tell him I’ll make him rich if he gives me his child. Dr. Robertson: What did he exactly do to upset you? SCP-3061-1: The fucker said ‘yes’. Dr. Robertson: …Excuse me? SCP-3061-1: With like, zero remorse or uncertainty! Big scary demon pops up outa Tartarus or whatever the fuck you mortals like calling our world, and the guy agrees to the deal! One involving sending his child to a literal Hell! And he knew! He knew who I was, the smell alone told me that he’d practically shit himself at the sight of me! But it didn’t matter that I was a demon, or that he knew what I could do or that I wanted his kid! And it’s only been getting worse. Less and less mortals are scared or even remotely agitated by us! They summon us like we’re a goddamn takeout place! Dr. Robertson: I’d assume you’d have no problem with someone saying yes. After all, that is what you were hoping for. SCP-3061-1: It's not! You just don’t understand… It’s less about the final luring and more about the baiting and fight they put up! We don’t just dance around all la-de-dah for nothing! Temptation is only satisfying when they’re actually being tempted! You can’t tempt someone when they just say “yes”. Dr. Robertson: …So what happened to his child? SCP-3061-1: Oh, I never took them. To be honest I don’t even remember if I responded to the guy. Safe to say, the whole situation was probably more awkward than irritating for the both of us at that point. Addendum 3061-1: On 14/05/20██, during a raid on a minor religious cult known as ███████ █████, several documents of SCP-3061 were found. It is thought that the group had planned to use the documents to summon SCP-3061-1. Investigation showed that the group had successfully gathered the required components needed for the ritual and had attempted to perform it, which upon doing so failed to summon SCP-3061-1. The group was taken into Foundation custody and all copies of SCP-3061 were retrieved and contained. Following the incident, SCP-3061-1 was summoned using SCP-3061, for answers regarding the group. + Access Interview Log 3061-███ - Hide Log SCP-3061-1: You people again. Surprisingly, I don’t normally get this much traffic in this location. Dr. Robertson: Yes. We were hoping to ask you about an incident relating to a religious group known as ███████ █████. Are you familiar with them? SCP-3061-1: Oh, those guys. Yes, I've dealt with those bastards a few times. They’re a bunch of slack-jawed imbeciles. Cling to whatever deity or higher being that’ll grant them what they want. You’ve met them? Dr. Robertson: Several days ago we acquired documents of the very same ritual used to summon you during a raid at one of their gatherings. We were wondering if you could tell us anything you knew about it. SCP-3061-1: They tried summoning me but I refused to heed their call. They’ve summoned me many times before and they're always the same. They’d praise me, but they're the type to worship just about anyone that’ll give them power. The needy don’t act like they’re worshippers, they come to me out of desperation. But that lot reek of it even after they get what they want. They’re no dedicated cult or long time worshippers of the Lower Planes, they don’t take satisfaction in sacrifice. They’re just drones dropping babies in circles of blood, hoping wealth and power will pop out. Dr. Robertson: Yes. Well, if at all possible, we were hoping to ask you about any other groups or people with access to the rituals. SCP-3061-1: Hey, it’d be a pleasure no longer having to deal with ███████ █████ anymore. But I know your game and you know I won’t be that easily swayed. I’m not just going to tell you about all the people that summon me, obviously, but I’m fine with helping weed out the ones who're majorly taking the piss. Dr. Robertson: We can at least prevent certain groups from getting access to the ritual if you desire. But we would need your cooperation. Details regarding those you are summoned to and their locations would be extremely useful. SCP-3061-1: Well as far as identities go, I’m not helping you with that. Information gathering isn’t my area. I can’t do something like that without majorly stepping over the boundaries of some pretty big names. I can give you brief info like group titles though, that’s nothing special. As for locations, I can keep it as brief as “A basement in North Carolina” or “Somewhere in Toronto”. But that’s all I’ll say. Dr. Robertson: That will do. We can arrange the rest of the details ourselves. We can even plan out an appropriate basis for when to contact you if you wish, so we can exchange information. Does that suffice? SCP-3061-1: …Did you just offer me a fucking deal? SCP-3061-1 agreed to the arranged terms shortly after. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3061" by Penton, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3062 | keter | One of the first known photographs of SCP-3062, dated to the early 20th century. Item #: SCP-3062 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3062 is currently not containable by any conventional means. Procedures are limited to disinformation and tracking SCP-3062. Surviving victims of SCP-3062 are to be informed that what they experienced were hallucinations caused by dehydration and heat. Should a surviving victim of SCP-3062 refuse to believe this explanation, amnestics are to be administered. Civilians known to be missing alone in the Sahara are to be located and recovered before SCP-3062 causes major psychological damage or distress. Governments of Algeria, Chad, Egypt, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Western Sahara, Sudan and Tunisia, as well as all external recovery forces, are not to be involved in the recovery of missing individuals so as to minimise knowledge of SCP-3062's existence. Description: SCP-3062 designates an entity residing in the Sahara. SCP-3062 is frequently described as a male, in their early 20s, of Egyptian descent. SCP-3062 is believed to have an understanding of multiple languages, including English, French, Arabic, Hindi and German. The entity possesses an advanced shape-shifting ability, and can change size and appearance almost instantaneously. SCP-3062 appears to individuals missing or lost in the Sahara. Subjects must be alone for SCP-3062 to target them, and on the ground. Once targeted, SCP-3062 will seemingly "taunt" the lost individual. Behaviours noted are changing into the subject's loved ones, offering fake food and water, and creating hallucinations of rivers, among other similar actions. SCP-3062 will only leave the individual alone once they have left the Sahara, united with another individual, or perished. SCP-3062 is also believed to possess minor, localised reality-bending abilities. SCP-3062 can change the state of objects.1 SCP-3062 uses these abilities to make the "taunting" more severe. Around 93% of subjects exposed to SCP-3062's actions have been severely psychologically damaged. Addendum: The following is the recovered diary of James ██████, a pilot in the British Air Force. James ██████'s plane crashed in Northern Chad in 1942 due to an unknown technical error. The diary was written in an engine instruction booklet. + Recovered Journals - Close 15th July 1942 My name is James Arthur ██████, and I'm a pilot in the RAF. My plane crashed over the Sahara and I managed to eject before it hit the ground. I managed to salvage a small amount of rations, a water flask, a compass, a pencil and this book. I've made camp with some of the wreckage and am planning to head South tomorrow where the desert will run out. 16th July 1942 I'm not alone here anymore. On my way I found a young man in a rock formation. He speaks English and says his name is Mohammed. He was thin and weary, so I gave him some rations. We've made camp in the formation where I found him. It will be good to have someone else on this trek I suppose. 17th July 1942 We made significant progress today, covering a lot of ground. Mohammed held the compass. The rations and water are running out quicker than I thought, but I expect we'll reach the Sub-Sahara before they go completely. Mohammed is looking wearier than when I found him, I will admit. Walking must have taken its toll on him. 19th July 1942 We've been moving for the last two days. Food ran out on the 18th, we still have some water left. Mohammed's condition hasn't improved, I've had to support him with my shoulder for the last few hours before we set up camp. I'm not sure the boy is going to make it if we don't reach the end of the sands soon. 20th July 1942 I think it's the end for Mohammed. He collapsed today and is struggling to breathe. I've given him water. I've been trying to get a full name from him so I can try and find his family when I escape the desert. It's been unsuccessful so far. I've also been unsuccessful at finding food, there's no insects or lizards or anything. 21st July 1942 Mohammed has passed, it happened this afternoon. There's nothing to bury him with, and I don't know what religion he is, so his corpse is just lying there. I'm not sure what to do with it. I'm not going to last much longer without food in this heat. The water is running dangerously low, too. For the first time, I'm having doubts about my fate. 22nd July 1942 I don't kno I gave in to a horrible desire. I knew I couldn't go another day without food before I collapsed from exhaustion. I tried to devour Mohammed. I found a sharp rock and tried to dig into his flesh. All that came out was sand. Sand and dust, pouring out. His body collapsed inwards and the sand mixed in with the ground. I don't know what Mohammed was. Go 23rd July 1942 All day. There's been a sound ringing in my ears. A scr a laugh. A visceral, shattering laugh. It conjures something deep inside my being. Mohammed was taking us the wrong way. He was taking us North. I'm probably in Libya now. So it's probably a better idea to head North than South now. I don't know how much water I've got left. 24th I noted my water flask was feeling much heavier. I thought, by some miracle, condensation had perhaps collected in the flask. I took a sip. Gasoline. All of it. So now I have nothing to drink. I need to When I took the sip the laughing started again, only this time it was louder and much more harsh. 25th I found some dirty water underneath a rock, so I've got some more days until I die of thirst. I saw something on the horizon. A tank, moving faster than a tank ever should. If it wasn't a German tank I would have gone to approach it. I don't want to be killed or taken as a prisoner. The sands are still better than that. 26th I didn't confront the tank, it found me. I was walking and it rolled up behind me at an unimaginable speed. The hatch opened and a man came out. It was Mohammed, but his face was caved in and burned. He pointed a finger at me and let out a scream not befitting that of a man. If I get out of here I'm never going to forget that scream. He left a live beetle grub which I was forced to devour. 27th My compass is gone. I was looking at it, and it became encrusted with what I can only assume is rust and the needle stopped turning. The compass is made of aluminium. When I was walking today I suddenly saw a red gash open up in the sky for a few seconds, before it fizzled. This repeated serveral times before an unholy yell rang out, and the event stopped. 28th There's something sinister in these sands, I know that for a fact now. I was hiding from the sun inside a cave and something started pounding on the outside. Something huge. The cave filled with water and I drunk as much as I could before it turned into fine sand. The laughing started again. That same laughing after Mohammed died. It caused the cave to fill with the most retched stench I have ever been exposed to, like a rotting corpse. I'll be cowering in this cave until I know I'm alone again. 29th For most of my life, I've never been the most religious man. But I think I've seen the face of s what I can only explain as a devil. I left the cave and wandered, and it stalked over a sand dune. A tall, angular face with eyes sunk into deep craters, and a grin of pure sadism. Arms that tapered off into thin claws supporting a skeletal body. Back legs hunched like an ape’s. Sand fell off the body of the beast in piles, and as it got closer I could smell the same scent as in the cave. It walked over me and collapsed into dust, a red hue radiating. He 30th I ran for my life from what I thought was a German unit, but I believe it was just another manifestation of the beast. All the soldiers were joined by a bridge of flesh at the hip. I was shot at numerous times, but the bullets turned to sand as they hit my skin. I've had no luck finding water or any more food. 31st He came to me. The demon, but smaller. Those eyes in craters, that skeletal body. He It was man-sized. He told me he would never let me leave and that I was cursed with him, before leaving a grub and a bowl of stagnant water. I was forced to devour them once again. The logs abruptly cut out at this point. The diary was found bonded to a large boulder. Nearby, a pencil with the graphite inside replaced with sand was discovered. It is unknown what happened to James ██████. Addendum 2: Following is a summary of the most notable D-Class test. Summary contains notable log extracts. + Class-D Personnel Experiment 11 - Close D-AP0391 was a 44 year old man convicted of murder. It is noted that D-AP0391 converted to devout Catholicism while awaiting execution. D-AP0391 was left abandoned in northern Mali with several days worth of food, water, and live audio and video feeds. Notable Log Extracts [EXTRACT 1] D-AP0391 is heading North. SCP-3062 manifests as an angel-like entity, levitating above D-AP0391. SCP-3062: Son… You have sinned. This is your curse. D-AP0391: I have repented! For the last 8 years I have repented! SCP-3062: You have failed us all. SCP-3062 vanishes. D-AP0391 stops and rests, seeming distressed. [EXTRACT 2] D-AP0391 is seemingly wandering in an aimless direction. SCP-3062 manifests walking in front of D-AP0391, resembling modern depictions of Jesus Christ. D-AP0391 stumbles and seems shocked. SCP-3062: My son… I have come to help you. Come to me. D-AP0391 approaches SCP-3062 tentatively. D-AP0391: Thank you, father. SCP-3062 suddenly pulls out a khopesh2 and pierces D-AP0391's chest. D-AP0391 screams and falls back, weeping. SCP-3062: Scum. SCP-3062 vanishes. The weapon in D-AP0391's chest turns into sand and collapses, and the wound heals. [EXTRACT 3] D-AP0391 is lying on a rock. SCP-3062 manifests in the form of stereotypical western depictions of Satan. D-AP0391: Get away from me, please! SCP-3062: I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to help you. SCP-3062 extends a hand with a bowl of water inside it. D-AP0391: Why this kindness? D-AP0391 Starts to consume the water. SCP-3062: To remind you that kindness existed. The water turns to sand in D-AP0391's mouth. SCP-3062 starts laughing and vanishes. The laughing remains in the radio signal to researchers. The laughing stops, and researchers record a voice speaking directly into the radio. Communications are lost with D-AP0391, who has not yet been recovered. Addendum 3: An unrelated Foundation excursion into the Egyptian Sahara uncovered a structure believed to be around 3000 years old. The discovered structure The structure was ancient Egyptian in origin and appeared to be a site of worship at first. Upon entering the subterranean portion of the structure, personnel discovered the scene of an apparent struggle. A large coffin-like structure lay in the centre, surrounded by mummified corpses, which all displayed unusual scarring - for example, one body possessed a rib cage comprised of lead. The lid of the coffin was found several metres across the room. At one point on the wall, several lines of hieroglyphics were written. A large portion of these hieroglyphics were illegible. Personnel have translated as much as is apparently possible, and the translation is found below. Here is buried [ILLEGIBLE] …from the red gate [ILLEGIBLE] Caused [ILLEGIBLE] and suffering, across the lands Vanquished [ILLEGIBLE] armies of the righteous [ILLEGIBLE] cursed to these sands forevermore. Shortly after discovery, SCP-3062 manifested outside the structure. Personnel were unable to prevent SCP-3062's advance, and the entity turned the structure into sand, destroying it. Several personnel received severe injuries. Footnotes 1. For example, sand into water or vice versa 2.

SCP-3063 | keter | A manifestation of SCP-3063. Item #: SCP-3063 Do you hear the buzzing? Ever so quiet. Special Containment Procedures: Newly discovered SCP-3063 manifestations are to be reported immediately, and destroyed as soon as possible by whatever means are appropriate. All Foundation buildings, and the residences of all Foundation personnel are to be equipped with the most effective insect control measures available. At no point should personnel ever interact with or acknowledge SCP-3063 manifestations outside of immediately destroying said manifestation. Ever so constant. Any Foundation personnel or civilian individuals known or suspected to have made an agreement with SCP-3063 are to be immediately contained in the nearest Foundation facility equipped with appropriate containment facilities1 until the event of said individual’s death. Once the affected individual has died, their remains are to be incinerated along with any organisms that may have emerged from them during their containment. Individuals affected by SCP-3063 do not require food or other external attention, and under no circumstances are they to be removed from containment while alive. The merest beating of wings in a far-off room. If affected individuals are unable to be contained for any reason, every effort should be made by Foundation operatives to kill said individuals before the event of their natural death. If this is impossible, or if affected individuals are not discovered until their deaths, Mobile Task Force Beta-5 is to enact Procedure 18-Islip. Do you hear me? Description: SCP-3063 is a telepathic, class-5 reality bending entity. SCP-3063 invariably manifests as a physiologically non-anomalous adult male housefly (Musca domestica). It is currently believed that only one manifestation of SCP-3063 exists at any given time, but this is yet to be confirmed. Manifestations are to be considered “destroyed” when they have sustained damage that would be sufficient to kill a non-anomalous housefly, after which SCP-3063 will manifest elsewhere on Earth. No manifestation event has been observed as of yet, and it is not currently known whether SCP-3063 manifests as an entirely new individual housefly, or simply inhabits the body of an existing housefly. Do you hear me coming? All SCP-3063 manifestations operate with a single goal; namely making an agreement with an individual. The terms of such agreement vary greatly, but almost always involve SCP-3063 promising an individual any single thing they greatly desire in exchange for an unspecified price. Such offers have included large sums of money, the love of other individuals, political power, and reality-bending ability. It is hypothesized that SCP-3063 reads the thoughts of its target to tailor an offer specific to them. SCP-3063 refuses to discuss anything other than the terms of its agreement. I am. If an individual accepts the terms of agreement, the SCP-3063 manifestation will immediately combust and die, at which point the individual will receive what they were promised. If an individual does not accept, SCP-3063 will continue to attempt to tempt them with larger and larger offers until either the individual accepts or the manifestation is destroyed. If an SCP-3063 manifestation is destroyed, successive manifestations will continue to contact the individual until they consent to the agreement. Do you know what it is? After a period of 2,376 days from the moment an agreement with SCP-3063 is made, affected individuals will undergo a process as detailed below: What you’d give anything for? Fertilized eggs representing virtually all known species of the order Diptera will spontaneously appear within the lungs, throat, stomach, intestines, sinuses, ear canals, rectum, urethra, and muscle tissues of the affected individual. The number of such eggs typically ranges from 5,000 to 20,000. The eggs will hatch naturally, and the resulting maggots will begin consuming tissues of the affected individuals for between 3 and 14 days in order to escape the body. When this period has elapsed, the maggots will pupate, and lie dormant. Within 2 to 6 days, pupae will emerge as adult imago2 flies. Newly emerged flies will continue consuming their host and breeding with each other until the host has sustained sufficient damage and dies. This typically takes between one and five weeks, and has been known to produce upwards of 50 million individual flies. When the affected individual has died, the remaining flies will cease reproducing, and enter a stage of dormancy, during which they will eventually starve and die. A new manifestation of SCP-3063 will appear shortly after the death of the affected individual. I know. Affected individuals will remain conscious for almost the entirety of this process, resulting in great distress. Roughly 70% of affected individuals will attempt suicide during this process. Flies generated during this process have been determined to be entirely non-anomalous. If the affected individual dies during any point in this process (or during the preceding 2,376 days), the process will stop and the flies will die. No known method of averting this process other than the death of the individual has been discovered. I can give it to you. To date, six Foundation personnel have been contacted by SCP-3063, and attempts have been made to alter the terms of agreement to entrap SCP-3063 into neutralizing itself, though none have met with success. Below is a partial test log of such attempts. It may not seem like much time. Test Log SCP-3063 But God, Test #: 3063-1 Tester: Senior Researcher Elizabeth Gāo Parameters: “The death of SCP-3063”. Result: SCP-3063 manifestation combusts. Eggs manifest within Dr. Gāo 2,376 days after testing. Interpretation: SCP-3063 apparently interprets its “death” as the death of a manifestation. It is an eternity Test #: 3063-2 Tester: Senior Researcher David Roberts Parameters: “The permanent containment of SCP-3063”. Result: SCP-3063 manifestation ceases moving, and is determined to have died. The dead instance is contained within a secure containment unit below Site-63. After 2,376 days, Diptera eggs manifest inside Senior Researcher Roberts’ body. 3 months after his death, another SCP-3063 instance is confirmed. Interpretation: Again, such terms of agreement seem to extend only to SCP-3063’s current manifestation. To a fly. Test #: 3063-3 Tester: Dr. Caroline Fairweather Parameters: “A permanent cessation of all activities of SCP-3063”. Result: Results identical to those of Test #3063-1. Interpretation: It is becoming clear that “permanent” in the context of SCP-3063 only extends for the 2,376 days prior to the death of the individual. Is it worth it? Test #: 3063-4 Tester: Senior Researcher William Marlowe Parameters: “Knowledge of the true nature of SCP-3063” Result: SCP-3063 combusts. A printed copy of this document (without test log) appears before Senior Researcher Marlowe. Process proceeds as normal. Interpretation: Assuming SCP-3063 does not cheat those it makes an agreement with, this document is to be considered accurate and true. You can’t decide. Test #: 3063-5 Tester: Dr. Patrick McGann Parameters: “Clear, understandable knowledge of SCP-3063 other than knowledge currently possessed by The SCP Foundation" Result: SCP-3063 combusts. Results of this test and the following test appear printed before Dr. McGann, who proceeds to kill himself by puncturing his carotid artery with a pen. Interpretation: SCP-3063 either possesses precognizant abilities, or is able to directly affect future events. But some part of you Test #: 3063-6 Tester: Dr. Jonathan Mabry Parameters: "Is there even a choice?" Result: Dr. Mabry experiences a severe pulmonary embolism and later dies en route to the medical center. SCP-3063 combusts. Interpretation: See test #3063-5 Some deep gnawing part of you Any personnel contacted by SCP-3063 are expected to report the event, and then use the opportunity to continue neutralization efforts. Thinks it might be. SCP-3063 is believed to have been in operation for at least 4,000 years, as the earliest known records of entities and events matching SCP-3063’s description have been discovered in early Canaanite settlements. Assuming an approximately constant rate of activity, this equates to approximately 615 agreements made. It is entirely possible that SCP-3063 has been in operation for considerably longer, and Foundation archaeological teams are currently searching for earlier recordings of events that would indicate as such. Do you hear it? Procedure Islip-18: In the event of the death of uncontained individuals due to SCP-3063’s effects, Mobile Task Beta-5 is to mobilize, and administer said individual with 90 grams of cypermethrin.3 Additional cypermethrin is to be sprayed within a 10-meter radius of the affected individual. After the individual and any generated flies have died, remains are to be incinerated. Any civilian witnesses are to be given a regimen of Class-A amnestics, and the area is to be closed to civilians for no less than 30 days under the pretense of a non-specific toxic spill. Do you hear the buzzing? Footnotes 1. Note: in this context, “appropriate” is not synonymous with “appropriate for humanoid containment”. Secure containment of affected individuals takes ultimate precedence. All other concerns, be they for comfort or otherwise, are secondary. 2. The final stage in the life cycle of metamorphosing insects. 3. A highly potent synthetic pyrethroid insecticide. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3063" by Dr Solo, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-3063.

SCP-3064 | euclid | Extract of SCP-3064-4 Item #: SCP-3064 Special Containment Procedures: Due to its non-physical nature, SCP-3064 cannot be fully contained at this time. Research Task Force 3064-Mu are to monitor social media, news sites, radio, television and local newspapers for reports alluding to physical or digital instances of SCP-3064, at all times. All physical instances of SCP-3064 retrieved by Foundation personnel are to be catalogued and stored in designated Secure Object Lockers across Sites 15, 19 and 301. No more than one (1) physical instance of SCP-3064 is to be stored in the same Secure Object Locker to minimize potential losses in the event of a containment breach. All digital instances of SCP-3064 are to be copied to a physical medium and stored according to the protocols described above, and all links to the file removed from public access. Foundation personnel are advised to proceed with caution should a digital instance of SCP-3064 go viral. In these instances, personnel with clearance SCP-3064/2 or above should carefully monitor social media trends to identify the effective potency of the SCP-3064 instance and determine risk before proceeding with containment procedures. Final decisions in these instances will be made by personnel with SCP-3064/4 clearance. Original instances of SCP-3064 are not to be removed from the Secure Object Lockers without approval of personnel with SCP-3064/3 clearance. For testing and experimentation purposes, a copy must be made approximating the same materials. Sites 15 and 301 maintain caches of blank vinyl, CDs, DVDs and MP3 players for this purpose. Copies of a SCP-3064 instance are to be sealed individually using Class-G hazardous material polythene bags and sent to incineration. Testing with original, physical instances of SCP-3064 must be submitted to the current Lead Research Director (SCP-3064/5) for approval. Description: SCP-3064 is a melody hypothesized to affect listeners by interfering with the listener’s perception of adverse stimuli. Through an as-yet not fully understood mechanism, this melody provokes a reduced fear response to adverse stimuli. Some instances of SCP-3064 have been shown to nullify fear responses in affected individuals and even reverse pre-existing fear conditioning. Instances of SCP-3064 affect listeners more strongly in live performances. For simplicity of reference, the effects of SCP-3064 on an individual will be referred to as ‘strong’, indicating a complete inhibition of fear and removal of prior fear conditioning, or ‘weak’, indicating an incomplete inhibition of fear with no effect on prior fear conditioning. Notable instances of SCP-3064 are catalogued below: Fragment of SCP-3064-6 SCP-3064-6 – "Hymn of Courage" SCP-3064-6/1, -6/2, -6/3 and -6/4 are clay fragments bearing cuneiform script excavated in 1952 from the Amorite-Canaanite city of Ugarit (present day Ras Shamra) in northern Syria. It originally formed part of the 'Hurrian Songs' collection first reported in literature in 1955, as fragments h.18, h.29, and h.31-32. All details of these fragments have been removed from publically available scientific literature. The translated text and musical notation of SCP-3064-6 was first published in 1992 by M. Szlezchny, and drew the Foundation’s attention in 1994 when ██████ ██████ published and performed a recital of a 'corrected' translation, resulting in Incident 3064-4. All known recordings of this arrangement of SCP-3064 were taken into Foundation custody and are designated SCP-3064-7. No casualties were reported, and Class C amnestics were administered to all present. Foundation archaeological and paleolinguistic experts have confirmed that ██████ ██████’s translation of SCP-3064-6 is accurate and represents a hymn to the Canaanite deity Anat, a deity associated in the Ugarit tablets with war and conflict. The lyrics form a prayer to Anat to lend courage in battle to the worshipper. Experimental testing has shown that the lyrics recited as prose do not exhibit the inhibiting effect. SCP-3064-6 is notable for being the oldest known physical instance of SCP-3064 to exist, and demonstrates that SCP-3064 has been present in human culture since at least 1400 BCE. In 20██, an article on the Hurrian Songs published in the American Journal of Archaeology caught the Foundation's attention by referring directly to fragments h.31-32 in the context of a partial translation of other artifacts excavated from Ugarit (designated SCP-3064-6/A). Relevant passages from this journal have been reproduced below as Addendum 20██/01. SCP-3064-1 SCP-3064-1 – "Victory’s Tune" SCP-3064-1 is a small clockwork music box, measuring 8cm x 5cm x 4cm, made from English ash sometime in the 1930’s, and assumed to have been made by an independent craftsman. On the lid is an engraved image of the goddess Victory, imitating the statue on the Victoria Monument, London. On the inside of the lid is an inscription reading: 'To Johnny – Give them Hell! - B.' It is wound by a small brass key, and once wound will continue to play the first movement of SCP-3064 until wound down. The materials of the music box do not display any anomalous properties and the box has been disassembled and reassembled successfully without diminishing the effects of SCP-3064. According to eyewitness accounts, the music box was recovered in 1942 from the wreckage of a RAF fighter plane piloted by John Turner (thought to be the 'Johnny' referred to in the box’s inscription), who was shot down near Hamburg on April 8th 1942 and did not eject his plane. The box passed through the hands of several owners before being abandoned in Berlin and looted by an American soldier, Thomas █████, who came to the attention of Foundation personnel following a bar brawl in Boston, MA in 1951 (Incident 3064-1). Mr. █████ sustained severe injuries in the brawl and was arrested on charges of aggravated assault. Police reports record that Mr. █████ was alternately humming and singing 'a curious tune' to himself while in the communal holding cell, and soon another fight had broken out in which Mr. █████ was killed, having fought 'like a madman' and 'displaying no fear'. An investigative agent was sent to Boston, and Mr. █████’s widow corroborated the police report, stating that he possessed a music box that played the same melody. Foundation research has turned up three individuals who could be the ‘B’ referred to in the box’s inscription, but none have known links to other instances of SCP-3064. SCP-3064 was redesignated SCP-3064-1 after the recovery of SCP-3064-2 in 1954 and testing proved that it is the melody, not the physical instance, that produces the anomalous effect on the listener. SCP-3064-23 – "Sugar Sugar Sweet Fear" SCP-3064-23 is a single produced by the Danish band Fennikelkage. The single, 'Sugar Sugar Sweet Fear' was released in 2002 but failed to be popular with audiences. Foundation observation following the protocols described above tentatively designated the track SCP-3064-23 due to its similarities in melody to known instances of SCP-3064, albeit significantly altered to include a chorus line and to fit the dance pop genre. No preventative action was taken by the Foundation at this time. An agent was dispatched and investigated the band, recovering an instance of SCP-3064-7. In 2004 the Foundation began tracking increasing references to the song on the internet, originating in a Japanese video pairing the song with a 'chibi' depiction of the Grim Reaper (animation designated SCP-3064-23/A). A small spike in suicides was noted in the latter half of 2004 as the trend peaked in popularity (Incidents 3064-14 and 3064-15). After review, clearance was granted to begin a blanket operation of suppressing online mentions and availability of the video. It was removed from known video hosting services and a new trend was manufactured to distract attention. The animator of the video, Kiniho Kunihiro, was later found to have committed suicide shortly after the video had first been released. + Extracts from SCP-3064 Testing Logs: - Extracts from SCP-3064 Testing Logs: SCP-3064 Test Log - Entry 03 Date: 06/07/1952 Subject: D-4435, SCP-3064 Procedure: D-4435, a profoundly deaf Caucasian female with a fear of rats, was set in front of SCP-3064 and asked to look at the picture of a rat next to SCP-3064. The subject indicated discomfort at the sight of the picture. D-4435 was then asked to wind the key, then look at a picture of a rat until a light indicated she could stop. The subject wound the key and sat throughout 6 repetitions of the melody produced by SCP-3064 until the internal spring was wound down. She was asked to express her feelings about the picture, and again indicated discomfort. Conclusion: No response to SCP-3064 observed. Analysis: Unable to hear the melody produced by SCP-3064, D-4435's established fear of rats was not diminished by its effects. This indicates that it is the melody and not SCP-3064 that causes the anomalous effect. Recommendation: SCP-3064 to be redesignated SCP-3064-1. SCP-3064 Test Log - Entry 08 Date: 02/11/1952 Subject: One (1) cat (Felis catus), one (1) dog (Canis familiaris), SCP-3064-1 Procedure: The dog was caged to one side of the room, and the cat introduced to the room. The cat displayed an expected fear response. A research assistant wound the key of SCP-3064-1 and let the melody play for 2 minutes. After 20 seconds, the cat began to relax, and by the end of the 2 minutes was sitting on the floor of the room, ignoring the dog which continued to make an aggressive display. Conclusion: Strong response to SCP-3064 observed. Analysis: A cat was chosen for this experiment due to evidence that the Felis catus species is capable of appreciating music. The experiment demonstrates that exposure to the melody of SCP-3064 in conjunction with a fear-inducing stimulus will reduce the effect of that stimulus. SCP-3064 Test Log - Entry 09 Date: 02/11/1952 Subject: One (1) cat (Felis catus), one (1) dog (Canis familiaris), SCP-3064-1 Procedure: Before the experiment began, the dog was allowed to attack the cat in a controlled environment. Experiment E-SCP-3064/08 was then reproduced, but after 2 minutes the cat continued to show fear. Conclusion: Weak response to SCP-3064 observed. Analysis: Having been conditioned to fear the dog, the cat now showed resistance to the effects of SCP-3064. SCP-3064 Test Log - Entry 46 Date: 02/02/1995 Subject: D-7877, one (1) snake, one (1) copy of SCP-3064-7 Procedure: D-7877 had previously undergone basic testing to induce and reverse fear resistance to snakes. D-7877 was instructed to listen to SCP-3064-7 whilst handling a snake that had previously bitten him. Once made to co-operate, D-7877 showed lessened fear response to the snake after listening to the full length of SCP-3064-7. When the recording was played a second time D-7877 became reckless with the snake, causing in the snake to bite D-7877's neck. D-7877 did display pain but no fear to the snake, who continued to bite him. The experiment was terminated when D-7877 collapsed from blood loss. Conclusion: Strong response to SCP-3064 observed. Analysis: Repeated exposure to SCP-3064 seems to suppress basic survival responses in the subject to the object fear stimulus. This finding is consistent with the behaviours observed in Incident 3064-4. Addenda: + Addendum 1957/01 - Incident 3064-7 - Addendum 1957/01 - Incident 3064-7 During staff rotation, Research Assistant K. Peters was found to have entered the containment unit housing SCP-████, and was seen goading SCP-████ into action. Security were unable to retrieve K. Peters without exposing themselves to great personal risk, and K. Peters was killed by SCP-████. On examination of their belongings, an unauthorized magnetic tape recording of SCP-3064-1 was found. Cross-examination of past psychological profiles showed that K. Peters had expressed a particular fear of SCP-████. Recommendation: Tighter control measures to be implemented on the creation of copies of SCP-3064 instances. Psychological screening measures improved to prevent staff with exploitable phobias coming into contact with SCP-3064. + Addendum 2004/03 - Incidents 3064-14 & 15 - Addendum 2004/03 - Incidents 3064-14 & 15 When the Japanese authorities recovered the bodies of ██ individuals from the ██████████ Forest, █████ Prefecture, and █████ City, ███ Prefecture, all the bodies were found clutching copies of the same suicide note. The note contained the lyrics of the song Sugar Sugar Sweet Fear and a sketched drawing of a stylized Grim Reaper, under which was written the name 'shinigami-chan'. All those identified were found to have been suffering from depression or anxiety, and the local police ruled that the two groups had been part of a death cult. This was fortunate for the Foundation as local authorities began lobbying for the banning of Sugar Sugar Sweet Fear from broadcast. + Addendum 20██/01 - Partial Translation of SCP-3064-6/A - Addendum 20██/01 - Partial Translation of SCP-3064-6/A Here follows relevant excerpts from Ugarit Ritual Texts (J. Adamson and █. ██████. Ugarit Ritual Texts. American Journal of Archaeology ███, ███, 20██). Although incantations are poorly attested at Ugarit, some isolated instances have been found, most notably fragments h.7, h.9-10, h.14 and h.31-32 of the famed 'Hurrian Songs', excavated by ██████ ██████ in 1955. Their language structure and character are notoriously elusive of attempted translation, even by the most renowned of scholars in this area, but recent breakthroughs have enabled me to provide a translation of some of our most recent findings. Of particular interest is ██████, which bears thematic similarity to h.31-32 of the Hurrian Songs: (When) the spirit of fear calls out to me and beats at my ears, I, for my part, will reach out to you, I will shake my cymbal, and pluck my harp, I will burn sweet wood and make offerings of brass and gold, On gold and brass will I make offering of (life/blood), To you, O Anat, virgin (wife/sister) of Baal-Hadad, To you I will make offering. The wild dog will not make me afraid, The mountain lion will not make me afraid, The snake and the viper will not make me afraid, I will not be afraid, O Anat, though a host of (demons) torment me, On gold and brass will I make offering of (life/blood). Your song will be on my lips, your song will be in my throat, Your words will be in my heart and your sweet music in my breast, I will not be afraid, O Anat. All known copies of this article have been removed from publicly available literature. The author of the article has not yet been located by the Foundation and is assumed to have been operating under a pseudonym. No other attributions to 'J. Adamson' have been found in relevant archaeological literature to date. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3064" by Tzuvembi, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3065 | euclid | The trail directly above SCP-3065, formerly part of Gibraltar Loop. Item #: SCP-3065 Special Containment Procedures: The Foundation has quarantined 1.4 km2 of public land around SCP-3065 and is utilizing cover story A-91 ("Wildlife Sanctuary"). Outpost-3065 has been constructed around the quarantine zone, and its perimeter is to be monitored at all times. All personnel must stay at least 50 500 meters away from SCP-3065, except for testing purposes. Seismometers have been deployed above SCP-3065 and are to be inspected monthly; all inspections and repairs must be carried out through remote drones. Description: SCP-3065 is an inaccessible cave located below a hiking trial in Paul Lake Provincial Park, British Columbia (50.751° N 120.153° W), approximately 250 meters underground. The structure of SCP-3065 is humanoid and shifts in real time to match the shape (at a size ratio of approximately 12:1) and posture of its current living occupant. If no living human is in SCP-3065, a person on the surface may vanish and appear inside the cave. Non-human animals are not affected by SCP-3065. On 21 May 1997 at 4:02 PM, Foundation seismographs began recording erratic activity from the Paul Lake region. At 5:18 PM, a Foundation AI flagged the seismogram as potentially anomalous and alerted Dr. Hardy at Site-144. Hardy ordered a low-priority investigation, and a geological field team arrived on location at dusk. SCP-3065 had several periods of minimal activity during this time, one of which lasted nearly an hour. Upon discovering that the seismic activity was highly localized, the field team conducted a seismic reflection survey. This revealed a large void, although the resolution was too low to identify its shape. Because SCP-3065 was dormant at this time, Dr. Hardy authorized the team to drill a 6 cm borehole for visual contact. + Access Exploration Log - Access Granted The following is a partial transcript of the operation conducted on 21 May 1997. The field team consisted of Researchers Collins and Berry and Junior Researcher Nguyen, and was overseen by Dr. Hardy from Site-144. Berry: Alright, we're in. Retracting the drill now. Ready with the scope? Collins: Got it. Approximately three minutes pass. Conversation not relevant to operation removed. Berry: I'm lowering in the cable, and video should be live soon. Is your connection okay, doctor? Hardy: Everything looks fine on this end. Go ahead. Berry: Few more seconds, and… there we go. Okay, I'm seeing an adult on the cave floor, dead or unconscious. Looks male, maybe forty or fifty years old.1 Hardy: Confirmed. Looks like a hiker. I'll check out any local disappearances. Berry: Nothing else here stands out to me. Looks like normal granite. I'll… shit, the camera just cut out. Harry, can you tell what's… Nguyen: Um. Berry: Where did… Harry? Harry? Nguyen: He just, uh. Disappeared. Right when the video died. Hardy: Tell me you're joking. Berry: Never, sir, Collins is gone. Nguyen: And the seismo is suddenly going nuts. Hardy: Jesus. I'm sending in backup. Ninety minutes away. Keep me updated. Six minutes pass. Nguyen: Doctor, are you there? Hardy: Just got in the truck. What's happening? Nguyen: We pulled up the camera, and there was just cable. Looks like it got cut. Zoe put in the spare, and the borehole is filled in after about ten meters. Hardy: Well shit. I want you two to start drilling again. Harry might have joined our hiker friend, and he'll need air. Nguyen: Understood. Approximately 35 minutes later Berry and Nguyen finish drilling into SCP-3065, and the scope is reinserted along with a small speaker. The light from Collins' headlamp can be seen as the scope enters the cave. Berry: Harry, are you okay? Can you hear me? Collins: I'm here. Doing okay, just some bleeding. You fuckers… drilled into me… Berry: Shit, really? That's terrible luck. We'll throw down some bandages and- Collins: No, I… you drilled in… Look. *panting* This cave is weird. It looks like a big hollow person, arms, legs, dick, everything. It moves when I move, like it mimics me. I'm sitting in my ass cheek right now. Berry: What. Collins: When the drill broke through there I felt something pinch my shoulder… The wound is way smaller than the bit though, barely any blood. The dead guy has the same hole in him. Berry: Huh. Okay. The big guns will be here in about an hour. What's the air situation? You breathing okay? Collins: It's definitely getting to me. Probably okay for a while with the hole. Berry: Alright. Let me think for a second. The guys coming will have oxygen, so we were gonna widen the borehole enough to lower it down to you. But I don't want to hurt you more if we can avoid it. Collins: It's not life-threatening, Zoe. Just give- The borehole is closed off. Recording ends. + Access Testing Log - Access Granted Note: For experimental purposes, a small flag was placed on the trail above the estimated center of SCP-3065. Experiment 3065-1 Date: 23 May 1997 Subject: D-213-729 Procedure: Subject was told to stand next to the flag and wait for further instructions. Result: After 24 minutes, D-213-729 disappeared. Seismic activity indicated his capture by SCP-3065. Experiment 3065-2 Date: 23 May 1997 Subject: D-213-755 Procedure: Immediately after the previous experiment, subject was told to stand next to the flag and wait for further instructions. Result: While SCP-3065 was still seismically active from the previous experiment, nothing notable occurred. 32 minutes after activity ceased, D-213-755 disappeared and the tremors resumed. Note: Confirmed, it's limited to one victim at a time. — Dr. Clark Experiment 3065-3 Date: 23 May 1997 Subject: D-213-902 Procedure: Subject started approximately 100 meters from SCP-3065 and was instructed to move one meter forward every two minutes. Result: D-213-902 disappeared 12 meters away from the flag. Note: I'm making 50 meters the official safe zone. — Dr. Clark Experiment 3065-4 Date: 24 May 1997 Subject: D-214-689 Procedure: Subject was instructed to climb a tree close to SCP-3065 as high as they are able, and wait for further instructions. Result: D-214-689 climbed a pine tree four meters away from the flag, to a height of approximately 8 meters. She disappeared 20 minutes later. Note: Apparently you don't need to be touching the ground. — Dr. Clark Experiment 3065-5 Date: 25 May 1997 Subject: D-214-770 Procedure: D-214-770 was chosen because he is missing his left arm. Subject was told to stand next to the flag and wait for further instructions. A remotely operated drone was ready to inspect SCP-3065. Result: The subject disappeared after 22 minutes, and the drone began drilling a borehole. Exploration revealed that SCP-3065's interior was truncated at the left arm, matching D-214-770. SCP-3065 contained six corpses in normal condition. The borehole closed 42 minutes after drilling was completed. Note: Interesting. I assumed that the arm section would be inactive, but it's actually gone. SCP-3065 also doesn't seem to be… well, digesting… — Dr. Clark Proposal 3065-6 Date: TBD Subject: D-class, general Procedure: While SCP-3065 is inactive, a remotely operated drill will dig a shaft large enough for the subject to fit through. The subject will be instructed to quickly approach the shaft, and a prepared crane will lower them into SCP-3065. Result: N/A Note: Request for additional D-class personnel declined. It's just a cave that eats people, David. We have bigger fish to fry. You're being reassigned to SCP-████. — Dr. Hardy Addendum 3065-1: On 11 November 1997, a guard walking approximately 90 meters from SCP-3065 vanished and appeared in the chamber. Seismometers recorded heavy activity during the event; the epicenter moved from SCP-3065's location to directly underneath the guard, then returned to its original location. Minimum safe distance extended to 500 meters. Footnotes 1. Later identified as Graham Whitman, who was reported as a missing person to the Kamloops RMCP on 22 May. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3065" by Magnanymous, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3066 | keter | SCP-3066 Item #: SCP-3066 Special Containment Procedures: A circular surveillance perimeter with a 500-meter radius is to be established around SCP-3066. Surveillance of this perimeter must be continuous, and Foundation personnel must be on standby to intercept any trespassing civilians. Class B amnestics may be applied to close-proximity civilian witnesses of an Eckhart-Anatol Discharge. Products of an Eckhart-Anatol Discharge are to be destroyed as rapidly as possible. Flamethrowers and incendiary grenades are to be stocked in a separate structure adjacent to SCP-3066 for deployment during an incident. Management of the ensuing wildfires may be handled by Foundation operatives or local firefighters. SCP-3066-C are to be terminated or kept in solitary confinement. Testing on SCP-3066-C is not to involve direct contact with more than 5 uninfected persons at a time. To prevent lapses of judgment and loss of productivity, entry into SCP-3066 is strongly discouraged. Entry into SCP-3066-A is strictly prohibited. Cover stories are to be fielded regarding unusual lights in the area surrounding Brown Mountain, North Carolina. These include vehicle lights, combustion of naturally occurring methane, ball lightning, and extraterrestrial activity. Description: SCP-3066 is a small log cabin in Linville Gorge, North Carolina. It is dilapidated and appears to have been abandoned in 1937. Much of the roof has collapsed. It is notably one of the only artificial structures in the valley and is entirely isolated. SCP-3066 is surrounded by thick vegetation, heavily obscuring it even when viewed from a distance of 20 meters. When within SCP-3066, the perception of time is heavily warped. While time-keeping devices work as expected, personnel report a trance-like state of mind, with very few memories of their time inside SCP-3066. Metabolism is also much slower, allowing personnel to spend several days within SCP-3066 with no ill effects. Underneath SCP-3066 is an airtight cellar, originally used for storing wine. The cellar contains a writing desk that is stocked with hundreds of written pages and journals. Nearby is a circular borehole with a diameter of 3.3 meters. This borehole has been designated SCP-3066-A. SCP-3066-A has no discernible bottom. Expeditions into SCP-3066-A have managed a depth of 2 kilometers, and experimentation has not been conclusive. At 50-meter intervals along SCP-3066-A, there are large archways leading into separate chambers. The existence of these chambers is known only through seismic analysis, as any cameras or observers entering the archways abruptly stop responding. No personnel or equipment lost in this way have been recovered. Furthermore, incursion into the archways appears to trigger an Eckhart-Anatol Discharge. At somewhat irregular intervals, SCP-3066-A will produce an Eckhart-Anatol Discharge. These events only occur during the local night. During an Eckhart-Anatol Discharge, approximately 500 tons of matter are expelled into SCP-3066 and the surrounding forest. This matter is usually propelled through the collapsed roof of SCP-3066 and into the upper troposphere once it exits SCP-3066. This process does not usually cause damage to SCP-3066. The products of an Eckhart-Anatol Discharge are often very flammable, and can often be neutralized using incendiary weapons. Due to the flight trajectory often taken by discharged material, the burning material will often fall on or near Brown Mountain, about 7 miles east of SCP-3066. 75% of the discharged mass is composed of 5 × 10 inch sheets of parchment paper. These pages are collectively designated SCP-3066-B. SCP-3066-B are covered in writing or sketches that contain potent cognitohazards. The remaining mass varies between incidents, but will usually consist of a delivery system for SCP-3066-B. Exposure to SCP-3066-B will invariably result in immediate cessation of all higher mental functions. Affected individuals (SCP-3066-C) will use their own bodily fluids to write on nearby surfaces. These communications are often aimed at convincing observers to move toward SCP-3066. Some instances of SCP-3066-C will also produce nonsensical poetry and prose. None of the writing created by SCP-3066-C is anomalous. When in the presence of non-affected individuals, SCP-3066-C will rapidly approach and begin to vocalize. Audio recordings of this process degrade into white noise before vocalization begins, and any human observers within earshot will become new instances of SCP-3066-C. As a result, the content of vocalization by SCP-3066-C is unknown. The effects of SCP-3066-B may constitute a memetic agent, though further investigation is necessary to classify them. When present in large groups, SCP-3066-C will alter their behavior. Instances of SCP-3066-C will begin forming convoluted structures out of their own bodies, often extracting and utilizing internal organs as structural components. Note that SCP-3066-C are no more durable than non-anomalous human beings, though they do not have a pain response. The structures created by large collections of SCP-3066-C have the same effect as SCP-3066-B and can trigger the infection of much larger populations. Addendum 3066-1: Expedition Audio Log Members of MTF Zeta-9 (“Mole-Rats”) were sent into SCP-3066 after the initial exploration of the anomaly. The purpose of the expedition was to explore SCP-3066-A. + Show audio log for Expedition Beta - Hide log [BEGIN LOG] Beta-1: Check in, team. Beta-2: Beta-2, checking in. Beta-3: Beta-3. Beta-4: Beta-4. Right after you, 1. Beta-1: Okay, we’re going in. Stay close. A door creaks Beta-2: Wow, and I thought this place looked decrepit from the outside. Beta-1: It’s dusty. Smells kind of like ash. Nothing unusual so far. Beta-2: Mind closing that door? Beta-1: Okay, all team members are inside. It’s a little crowded. Beta-3: You know, this place is pretty beautiful once you stop to take a look at it. Beta-4: It really is. Shit, I wouldn’t mind living here. Whoever built the cabin had the right idea. Irrelevant dialogue over the next fifteen minutes has been redacted for brevity. Beta-1: I agree. At any rate, I think we’ve loitered long enough. Let’s get down to the cellar. Beta-3: Man we’ve got time. We could stay up here a bit longer. Beta-1: That would be great, but I don’t want to get yelled at when we leave. Let’s move! Sound of footsteps and creaking wood. Beta-3: Huh. Why would you put a desk in the cellar? Beta-2: Maybe he didn’t have room upstairs. Beta-4: I wouldn’t mind having the alcohol on hand. Beta-1: I think the huge hole in the floor is what we should be focusing on here. Beta-2: That’s right. I’ll get out the rappelling gear. Beta-1: Alright Beta-3 and 4, get in formation. We’re heading down. Beta-3: Understood. Rope is anchored and unfurled. Beta-1, 3, and 4 secure their harnesses and begin the descent. Beta-2 remains on the surface. Beta-1: It’s very dark. The walls are smooth stone, and perfectly circular. It looks like it was excavated by a machine. Beta-3: Hell of a thing to have under your house. In the wine cellar no less. Beta-4: My breath’s fogging up. Beta-1: We’re about 50 meters in by now, it wouldn’t surprise… Beta-3: Hey, I see something! Beta-4: Yeah, there’s a doorway. Beta-1: Wow, that thing's pretty big. I’d say 3 meters tall and at least 2 meters wide. Also cleanly cut out of the stone. Beta-4: Should we go in? Beta-1: No. I think we keep going down and try to find the bottom. On the way back up we can investigate further. Beta-3: I’ve got this feeling that this is gonna take a while. Beta-4: No shit. I mean, they called us in, right? Beta-2 (via radio): How are you guys doing down there? Beta-1: It’s getting a little cold, but we haven’t found any boogiemen yet. Beta-2: Tell me when you do. Beta-1: We will. 2 hours of irrelevant dialogue have been redacted for brevity. Note that the presence of multiple archways at regular intervals is discovered. Beta-1: How much rope have we gone through, Beta-2? Beta-2: 2,234 meters. I’m about to run out. Beta-1: What do you say we head back? Anyone feeling hungry? Beta-3: Now that you mention it, I’m a little peckish. Let’s go up. Clicks as ascenders are equipped. Beta-2: I think I’m going upstairs to think for a bit. Radio in if you need anything. Beta-1: Will do. Beta-3: Hey, we could use the echo to tell how much further down it goes. Beta-1: Go ahead. But you have to do the math. Beta-3: ECHO!!! Reverberations are heard. Beta-2 makes no attempt at calculating depth, and analysts have concluded that the sound fades out before the presence of a bottom surface can be confirmed. 2 hours of irrelevant dialogue have been redacted for brevity. Beta-1: I think this is the last archway before we get out. Can you confirm, Beta-2? Beta-2: Uhh, sure. You’re at 50 meters. Beta-1: Alright, it’s now or never. I’ll lead the way. Beta-3: I need to give my arms a rest anyway. Beta-1: Okay, I’m in the archway. The floor is solid. It’s pitch black in there. Beta-3: Oh fuck, that’s gonna hurt real bad tomorrow. Beta-1: That’s fine. ██████, let’s go. Beta-4: My lamp doesn’t seem to be doing anything. I guess we move forward? Beta-1: Affirmative. Beta-3: You guys go ahead. I’ll work out a few kinks here. Beta-4: This is not normal. The walls aren’t reflecting… Audio feed from Beta-1 and 4 suddenly turns to static. Beta-3: Guys? You still there? I think the mics cut out. Beta-2: Any trouble down there? Beta-3: Oh…Oh shit. They’re gone. Can’t see them at all. Beta-2: Beta-1? You there? Beta-3: Yeah, no response. And now there’s the smell of shit. I’m getting out of here. Beta-2: Okay. Hurry up. I’ll keep the rope down for a few more minutes in case they’re still there. A few grunts as Beta-3 returns to the surface with some urgency. Beta-2 and 3 remain in the cellar for some minutes as Beta-2 begins stowing the rope. Beta-3: Do you feel that? Beta-2: The rumble? Beta-3: Yeah, and a bit of a breeze, too. We should get going. Beta-2: ███████ and ██████ might still be down there. Beta-3: No way in hell. Beta-2: Look, I’m close to finishing with this. The rope is stowed in silence. Some wind is picked up, as well as minor seismic vibrations. Beta-2 and 3 leave SCP-3066 and report back to Foundation command. [END LOG] Addendum 3066-2: Log of Eckhart-Anatol Discharges The following is a complete list of all Eckhart-Anatol Discharges. + Show log of Incidents - Hide log Designation Description Incident 3066-1 Occurred the night following Expedition Beta, ██-██-19██. Foundation operatives in the area reported minor seismic activity, followed by a loud report from the direction of SCP-3066. Soon afterward, a large plume of insects was sighted ascending over Linville Gorge, heading east. To prevent public awareness of SCP-3066, a small aircraft was fielded to administer insecticide to the plume. The chemical had little effect. During this initial flyby, it was discovered that the plume was composed entirely of large beetles, each carrying a thick sheaf of paper. As the plume approached populated areas, it was deemed necessary to field a Foundation cargo lifter equipped with incendiary weapons. The beetles proved to be more flammable than expected, and much of the plume was rapidly destroyed. Surviving elements of the discharge were collected for testing. Incident 3066-2 Occurred on ██-██-19██. Foundation personnel were beginning to set up a surveillance perimeter surrounding SCP-3066 and reported minor seismic activity immediately prior to discharge. Incendiaries were rapidly flown in. It was found that no aerial elements existed, and that the discharge was largely contained in the area immediately surrounding SCP-3066. Several thousand African Grey Parrots were roosting in the trees near SCP-3066, and the forest floor was littered with SCP-3066-B. The birds were repeating the phrase “Hell for the company”, but were otherwise non-anomalous. The effects of SCP-3066-B were more firmly established during this event, and clean-up operations extended over the next three months. Incident 3066-3 Occurred on ██-██-19██. On-site personnel responded after seismic activity was detected preceding the discharge. Much of the discharge material was destroyed immediately after it emerged from SCP-3066, limiting the impact of the incident. Notably, the material was expelled at an incredibly high velocity, causing damage to SCP-3066 and allowing a few grams of material to escape Foundation efforts and enter the stratosphere. This matter was carried by winds toward the city of Morganton, where a minor outbreak of SCP-3066-C was detected and successfully handled. Incident 3066-4 Occurred on ██-██-19██. On-site personnel responded after seismic activity was detected preceding the discharge. All discharge material was successfully neutralized after it emerged from SCP-3066. Collateral damage to the forest and SCP-3066 was limited. Due to the rapid response, the precise nature of the discharge was never identified. Incident 3066-5 Occurred on ██-██-20██. On-site personnel were unable to respond in a timely fashion due to an unrelated emergency in the area. Reports of a large white cloud over Linville Gorge were met with the deployment of an aircraft armed with incendiaries. The discharged material was found to be a group of ornithopters, made of balsa wood and magpie feathers. The power source for the machines has not been identified. Each ornithopter was delivering a sample of SCP-3066-B and was heading east. Due to evasive action by the discharged material, extensive damage was caused to the forests in Linville Gorge before the threat could be neutralized. A joint effort between Foundation operatives and local firefighters was sufficient to extinguish the flames. The wildfire and noise were blamed on a lightning storm. SCP-3076 was discovered in the forests during early clean-up operations. Incident 3066-6 Occurred on ██-██-20██. On-site personnel responded after minor seismic activity was detected. Response efforts were successful and neutralized the discharge quickly. Though no samples were recovered, personnel report the presence of origami butterflies, possibly made from SCP-3066-B. Incident 3066-7 Occurred on ██-██-20██. On-site personnel responded immediately. The discharged material consisted of several flame-resistant pods, each containing a sample of SCP-3066-B these pods appeared to be self-propelled, and targeted Foundation personnel directly. Most of the response force was lost and became instances of SCP-3066-C. Aerial support was called in, and the remaining discharged material, as well as SCP-3066-C, were successfully neutralized. The possibility that SCP-3066 may be adapting to Foundation efforts is being considered. Addendum 3066-3: Recovered Journal The following are excerpts from a journal recovered from the writing desk in SCP-3066. + Show journal - Hide journal 10/3/1931 I bought a cabin in North Carolina earlier this morning. I reasoned it would be a welcome change from the hubbub of New York City, and it might allow me to focus on my writing. I plan to begin packing as soon as I finish my work for the newspaper. When next I write, I hope to be basking in the natural glow of Appalachia. 10/30/1931 The forest is disconcertingly quiet. There is nothing but the soft sound of birdsong and wind. I suppose I will come to enjoy it with time. With no obligations ahead of me, I will be finally able to write my novel in peace. 11/21/1931 My mother contacted me from New York. She would like me to visit the family for Christmas. I was forced to decline her invitation. The words seem to be spilling from my pen, and the ideas flow even more strongly. I will spend the winter in North Carolina. 12/13/1931 I visited Morganton today. I needed to stock up on food and firewood for the coming snows. It’s a welcoming enough place, if rather slow. There were many people curious what someone from the big city was doing in the backwoods. A few were interested in my novel, and would be willing to read it once it’s done. I have begun to entertain the concept of publication. Perhaps I can make my fortune this way? 12/25/1931 There was a vicious storm today. I’m stuck in the cabin for at least a few weeks. 1/1/1932 Happy New Year. 1/17/1932 I tried to leave the valley, but there is still snow blocking the trail. I have enough food to last into the summer, but the isolation is my main concern. I am glad to report that I have made significant headway in my writings over the winter. I expect to be finished before the end of spring. 2/3/1932 There is still no way out of the gorge. The forest is mesmerizing. 2/10/1932 I have been having trouble with the novel recently. I am unhappy with the earlier chapters, and have considered rewriting them. I am also increasingly occupied with the broad public perception of my novel. I would very much like my work to become known the world over, but the additional deliberation may prolong the process. 3/4/1932 My work has come to a standstill. Whole weeks have passed by without memory, as I lay and think. Nothing but thinking. My pen sits idle. 3/6/1932 I went out for a walk in the woods today, to clear my mind. While I was out, I stumbled upon the most curious bird. It was a raven or a crow, but entirely white. What an odd thing. 3/7/1932 I have begun writing again, little by little. That fervor that I felt when I first arrived here has started to come back. I am hopeful for the future. I saw the white crow today, watching me from outside my window. 3/10/1932 I have decided the best way to complete this novel is to remove all the complexity. No supporting characters, no setting, nothing but raw emotion. I will write the story as a series of self-reflections from a single man. Powerful, simple, and accessible. Perfect. 3/13/1932 My efforts have been going well. The crow visited me today, and left a bottle of ink, just as I was starting to run out. It is quite a clever bird. I’m not sure where it found the bottle, but the ink is absolutely marvelous. Black as night and smooth as air. I will cherish the gift. 3/20/1932 I have seen myself for what I truly am. Ignorance is bliss. 4/?/1932 My food stores have been depleting, but I find myself needing to eat less and less as I work. The glow of inspiration has consumed me. I find the mirror increasingly useful as a portal into the human mind. Some days I simply write what it whispers to me. 5/?/1932 I am almost done. There are only a few more revisions to make. I have realized it has been a few months since I last tried to make my way into Morganton. I must surely go soon. The white crow left some of its feathers as a gift today. ?/1934 There are no words for what I have witnessed. A place where the quill is as mighty as God, my thoughts as good as reality. Beautiful, blank, and perfect, a world ready to be seeded by my own mind. I have built myself a grand palace in that world, gleaming on a hillside covered in lavender. It is with great pain that I take the time to write these words, as every moment in the real world is like Hell by comparison. I am not sure when I will next write, but I have no intention of leaving my parchment soon. ?/1936 I’m not sure where I went wrong. It’s not beautiful anymore. ?/1936 The pains of reality are coming back. I must have been gone a long time. ?/1936 The quill. It is the quill. It wants to create of its own accord. ?/1936 The twitching and scraping keep me up at night. I must end this before I go insane. ? The world has fallen apart. The quill is a clumsy creator, but it is ruthlessly efficient. Where I left ruins and smoke, it has created hell. I have tried to reason with it, and it has agreed to share power with me if I allow it to work within this reality. I’m not sure what this will mean. ? I haven’t been feeling well lately. I cannot sleep or eat. The quill calls me always. My reflection stares at me from the foot of the bed, unblinking and pulsating. I can watch myself slipping into madness. ? The quill made a hole in the world. It hasn’t said why. ? i looked in the mirror today and saw a magpie ? I don’t know where I am. I woke up an hour ago and the walls are covered in strange symbols and shapes. My head hurts when I look at them. The quill is waiting for me. ? I’ll try to stop it from inside. It needs me, and I can keep it from breaking free. I just need to spend the rest of my existence in hell. However long that is. I think sometimes that the quill and I aren’t very different. All it wants is for the world to read what it makes. Just like I did, all those years ago. It is, after all, just a feather. Maybe I’m the only one here, fighting myself in a fit of madness. Maybe I’m already dead. I just don’t know. But when did I ever know? I can’t risk bringing the whole world down with me. I will be going in permanently tomorrow. What it needs above all else is a liaison to the real world. Without that, it really is just a feather. But as soon as someone steps into its realm, it can dig itself in and start creating abominations. That’s why I have to stay down there. I’m the only one who knows about it. It is a secret that will die with me. No one will know of my sacrifice. And that’s fine. Damn bird. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3066" by Bentu, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-3066. Licensed under CC-BY-SA.

SCP-3067 | keter | Item #: SCP-3067 Special Containment Procedures: Active containment of SCP-3067, which involved an information-suppression scheme and a satellite-based electromagnetic intercepting system, has been postponed. Should SCP-3067 return, these systems are to be reimplemented immediately. Excluding that of Week 5, audio tracks from SCP-3067 are stored physically in Room 12 at Site-40. Access is denied to Level 1 personnel and below. Description: SCP-3067 is an ovoid extraterrestrial object, 16m in length, that orbited Earth for 5 weeks. SCP-3067 materialised on ██/██/20██, and directed a series of Very High Frequency (VHF) electromagnetic waves towards Earth until its disappearance on ██/██/20██. These were transmitted once per week, and could be detected by all FM receivers enclosed in SCP-3067's radio horizon. Transmissions sourced by SCP-3067 covered all known carrier frequencies and 'overrode' others by unknown means, making its content receivable across all tunings, and the only content available, unless intercepted by Foundation satellites. Objects entering a field of 2m around SCP-3067 were destroyed by an unknown force, which negated Foundation efforts to contain it on Earth. Attempts to establish remote communications with SCP-3067 were unsuccessful, as no response was received. 5 audio tracks from SCP-3067 were received, some of which exhibited anomalous effects. SCP-3067 had been thought not to bear any relation to humanity until Week 2, in which an audibly recognisable version of Adele's 2008 song 'Make You Feel My Love', albeit subject to major alterations, was transmitted. This prompted a thorough investigation into the origin of SCP-3067, which was unsuccessful. Per transmission, FM receivers with a visual interface were able to display a short message from SCP-3067 in English. The message was invariable, and is as follows: DIMENSION / REALM GRACED BY TELEPORTING SONIC SPECTACLE PRESENCE! STRICTLY SPEAKING BETWEEN-REALMM LEGISLATION DEEMED ILLEGAL KEEPING MOVING WANT NO BETWEEN-REALM ENFORCERS ON MY TAIL GOODBYE SOON SORRY. H OPE TO IMPROVE EARTH MUSIC PREFERENCE SINCE AT THE MOMENT A BIT CRAP BUT ITS OK This message was followed by individualised lines of text and/or symbols, relative to the transmission received in that week. Details of individual transmissions are listed below. Week 1 Week 1 Date: ██/██/20██ Received Text: "EJ - EJ" Description of Audio Content: 9 minutes 55 seconds. A recording of a gravelly, unintelligible voice speaking an unknown language. Repeated listens verified the presence of rhythm and rhyme within the track. The voice featured in the track demonstrated incredible vocal and linguistic capability - at least 500 different variations on the same rhyme were featured. Observed Anomalous Effect(s): N/A Week 2 Week 2 Date: ██/██/20██ Received Text: "Adele - Make You Feel My Love UFAB55 RE MIX" Description of Audio Content: 4 minutes 30 seconds. Audio consisted of the vocal acapella track to 'Make You Feel My Love' played against a series of reverberated guttural sounds. When played back, it is difficult to determine whether these sounds are synthesised or organic. It is currently unknown as to how the isolated vocal track from the original Adele song was obtained. Observed Anomalous Effect(s): N/A Week 3 Week 3 Date: ██/██/20██ Received Text: "||||||||||\\-—\\///||_ - ||||||||||||]]]]]]||||[-]" Description of Audio Content: 66 minutes 42 seconds. A series of tones, each lasting no longer than 6 milliseconds, ranging in Frequency between 1,000 to 20,000 Hz. Observed Anomalous Effect(s): On first listen, all subjects hearing the track compulsively exclaimed an unknown term, "Gumhanado" (/gʊm-hɑːr-nə-dəʊ/). This effect was even observed in an otherwise mute individual; it is one of the few phrases this subject has ever been known to say. When asked what the term meant, affected individuals responded that it was an expression of endearment towards the track, but when further pressed, could not identify how they came upon this knowledge. The effect appeared to have been singular; repeated listens did not produce the same anomalous effect. Week 4 Week 4 Date: ██/██/20██ Received Text: "aeoilasnaticp (Finest Laniakea Orchestra) - SYPHONY HUMAN APPEAL X X X X XX X X X" Description of Audio Content: 26 minutes 3 seconds. An apparently live recording of a long, complex piece of music in several movements. Consisted mostly of short, muted percussion sounds and long, sustained high-pitched voices singing in unison. These voices sang phrases in several different languages both known and unidentified, including English, Spanish and Mandarin. Of the terrestrial languages sung, phrases translated to "I love you", "Baby I love you", "You'll always be mine", "I'm coming home", and "Never let you go". Observed Anomalous Effect(s): N/A (It is of note that some subjects reported a feeling of comfort and satisfaction upon hearing this recording, although whether this effect was anomalous remains inconclusive) Week 5 Week 5 Date: ██/██/20██ Received Text: "/-//**EWHOOPWHOOP-- (NUMBER HIT SONG EVER)" Description of Audio Content: 3 minutes 56 seconds. Due to its anomalous effect, this description is limited to what was provided by those exposed to it: a repeated metallic kick and snare pattern at 126 beats per minute. Observed Anomalous Effect(s): Despite its unremarkable nature, those hearing this audio track had a 100% chance of sharing it with the nearest person unless hindered via amnestic administration or neutralisation. Subjects replayed it to others by whatever means necessary. Methods of sharing included, but were not limited to: making recordings using external devices, 'ripping' techniques, and dissemination via social media on the Internet. The effect even applied to subjects who had only heard very small sections of the track, including the moments of silence between the drum hits. Prior to the enactment of a mass-amnestic administration and information-suppression procedure known as Protocol-[REDACTED], modern day ease of digital file-sharing meant that the memetic effect had spread to approximately ███,███ people globally 2 days after initial broadcast, which included members of the general public. This event is considered to be one of the worst information breaches ever sustained by the Foundation, and, in the final weeks prior to its disappearance, prompted the immediate promotion of SCP-3067 to Keter status. Addendum: New visual information from the [REDACTED] satellite, which was present in the same approximate location as SCP-3067 at the time of its disappearance, has been confiscated. The disappearance of SCP-3067 was captured in a minute-long video by this satellite. Details are as follows: at 0:46, SCP-3067 emits a flash of light before disappearing. Several seconds later, at 0:51, an orderly arrangement of 5 light-emitting objects of unknown size, now designated SCP-3067-A, appears spontaneously. These objects are flashing, and move frantically around the area of space that SCP-3067 occupied. At 0:54, the objects comprising SCP-3067-A each emit a divergent beam of light, which appear to 'scan' the surrounding area. Then, at 0:58, SCP-3067-A de-materialises in a similar fashion to SCP-3067. Like SCP-3067, the origin of SCP-3067-A is unknown. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3067" by acc1177, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3068 | keter | But the men of the Navy are brave, fearless, and without fear. For no man nor alien need fear aboard HALYCON LIGHT BETA. close Info X SCP-3068: Halycon Light Beta Author: Tufto. More of their work can be found here. Image: Can be found here, and is in the public domain. Cygnus X-1. Item #: SCP-3068 Special Containment Procedures: Several long-range Scranton Reality Cannon are trained on SCP-3068. These are to fire upon any containment breaches by SCP-3068-A instances, preventing these instances from existence in ordinary space without the need for costly physical assaults. It should be noted that Scranton Reality Cannon are an unstable prototype. Their usage is to be restricted to SCP-3068 only. Extreme caution must be observed in their operation. A diplomatic presence is to be maintained on SCP-3068 at all times. Travel to and from SCP-3068 is to take place using vessels fitted with a Scranton Reality Engine; again, this is an unstable prototype which should only be operated with extreme caution. Update 09/07/2016: Attempts to locate SCP-3068-B are currently underway. Current protocol is to take SCP-3068-B in for questioning, with the intention of ascertaining its exact link to SCP-3068. Update 05/10/2017: All use of Scranton Reality Cannon and Scranton Reality Engines is to be halted following Incident 3068-1. Scranton Reality Cannon and Scranton Reality Engines have now been classified as SCP-3068-A-233 and SCP-3068-A-234 respectively. A full investigation into how these devices were first developed is underway. Due to the distance of 6,070 lightyears between Earth and Cygnus X-1, there is no current way to return the currently-stationed Foundation diplomats to Earth without SCP-3068-234; research into alternative methods of transport is currently underway. Description: SCP-3068 is the space station "Halycon Light Beta", currently in orbit around Cygnus X-1.1 SCP-3068 is spherical in shape, with several branching arms extending off it at random points and ending in smaller spheres, with further interconnections and branches extending off these. It is composed of an alloy made up of chrome, titanium and an unknown substance which the inhabitants call "Mekhanite™". SCP-3068 is run by a military administration composed of humans who state that they are representatives of the "Union of Earth", which they claim is a governing body comprising one third of the Milky Way. According to the administration, the rest of the galaxy is largely split between the tyrannical "Lalande Imperium", which has enslaved a number of species and is planning on assaulting SCP-3068 in the near future, and the "Kharai United Caravanserais", a mercantile confederation of city-states. The Kharai are said to control the shipping of several crucial goods, including "Korassian paradoxes", a substance said to be vital to SCP-3068's operation. SCP-3068's population is composed of a number of different alien species who claim to originate on a large variety of different worlds, some unknown or apparently nonexistent. Investigation of some of the real worlds which these species claim to originate from has revealed no signs of their existence. These different species are hereafter referred to as SCP-3068-A instances. The inhabitants uniformly believe that it is currently the late 30th century. They are in possession of unknown and extremely advanced technology, allowing SCP-3068 to continue its orbit of Cygnus X-1 despite the apparent physical impossibility. A variety of spacefaring vessels enter and leave SCP-3068 each day. However, they abruptly appear or disappear 1 lightyear away from SCP-3068, being apparently unable to exist too far from SCP-3068's confines. Observations from within SCP-3068 and the surrounding area appear to show these ships continuing on their journey. SCP-3068's apparent purpose is as an intergalactic marketplace and meetingplace. A large and thriving commercial sector and an equally vibrant black market are both present on the station. The black market is clandestinely run by several members of SCP-3068-A-24, referred to as "Lalandites", whom SCP-3068's administration claims are at war with the Empire of Earth. At random intervals, new branches and spheres abruptly appear on SCP-3068. These are often accompanied by sudden alterations to the structure and organisation of SCP-3068, often with the inhabitants being unaware of any alterations. Sometimes, alterations to the external political organisation will also occur; the "Union of Earth", for instance, was formerly the "United Nations of Earth". SCP-3068 first appeared on 09/10/2010, when it was suddenly detected by Foundation long-distance scanners.2 At this point, it had no branches, and was simply a single sphere. The first branches appeared on 10/12/2010. Foundation teams were immediately dispatched; the Foundation has maintained a permanent diplomatic presence on SCP-3068 since 02/03/2011. The following is a list of particularly notable SCP-3068-A instances: SCP-3068-A instance Name of instance Description SCP-3068-A-7 Halogen Large, green and with prominent tentacles, the Halogen are known for their unusual language which lacks any syntax or consistent vocabulary. It is considered impossible to learn by non-Halogen, although they themselves often have a strong grasp of English. SCP-3068-A-24 Lalandites Have a human appearance, with the exception of their grey skin and glowing white eyes. Initial encounters with Lalandites revealed them to be uniformly duplicitous and cruel; this abruptly changed on 09/11/2014, when they suddenly and uniformly gained a large number of rites, rituals and tragic backstories. The Lalandites purportedly originate on an unknown planet orbiting Lalande 21185, capital of the "Lalande Imperium". As of 09/11/2015, the Lalandites are in charge of SCP-3068. SCP-3068-A-47 Kharai A mercantile race whose DNA matches that of the order Hymenoptera, the Kharai are humans with the heads, wings and colouring of the common wasp (Vespula vulgaris). The Kharai act as intergalactic merchants, with "a presence in every port"; they have been known to sell Naumachian hypercrystals, Lalandite spices and Korassian paradoxes to Foundation diplomats, among other wares. They purport to represent the "United Kharai Caravanserais." SCP-3068-A-63 Children of the Satellite A race of cyborgs, who possess originally organic minds digitally transferred into metallic bodies. The construction and materials used for their bodies are reminiscent of those used by NASA in the 20th century, although some elements are reminiscent of Foundation long-distance probes. Worship the "screamer who is lost in space", whose "desire for revenge is a constant of emotional perfection". SCP-3068-A-65 Z-93291 The self-designation of a race of hypothetical beings, whose existence is inferred by their actions. A database entry, quarters and diplomatic treatises purportedly written by them exist, but they have never been observed. Supposedly represent the Alliance of Conceptual Beings. SCP-3068-A-79 Unknown Does not appear on SCP-3068's database, but has been witnessed by 9 Foundation diplomats, always while they are alone. Several members of the species will abruptly manifest, stare at the individual, say the line "I left because of you, Desmond" and then demanifest. They appear as Caucasian humans, wearing grey pinstripe suits, but lacking any facial features. They have occasionally been observed holding a lit cigar in their right hand. SCP-3068-A-86 Anafabulites [DATA LOST] Addendum 1: On 08/01/2014, the intercom system of a Foundation vessel approaching SCP-3068 abruptly began to broadcast a spoken message over a track of orchestral music. A transcript is as follows: It is the year 2914. At the edge of known space, on the fringes of what is good and evil, lies the final outpost of the Union of Earth. The brave men of the Union Navy man their posts, holding the line against all that seeks to threaten the human way of being; crafty merchants, cruel tyrants, and the endless menace of the Lalandites. But the men of the Navy are brave, fearless, and without fear. For no man nor alien need fear aboard HALYCON LIGHT BETA. Starring: John Cusack as Captain Adrian Oldenburg Edward James Olmos as Commander Juan Santos Winona Ryder as Maria Oldenburg Simon Sebag Montefiore as Security Chief Judas Priest Tom Hiddlestone as Dr. Mark "Limey" Jones The SCP Foundation as Itself with Mark Ruffalo as Emperor Claude Moran and introducing Cornelius Halliwell as the voice of Mroo Bear! Written by Desmond Sykes Directed by Desmond Sykes. Following this, all Foundation vessels approaching SCP-3068 were subject to the same effect, with minor alterations to the text of the broadcast. Addendum 2: On 09/11/2015, an abrupt change occured in SCP-3068. 17 new branches and spheres appeared on its surface, and the entire history and political balance of the station abruptly altered. The Lalandites were suddenly in control of the station, each with a significantly altered backstory and personality; they are now mostly sympathetic to the station's populace, but find themselves unable to reconcile their political situation with their personal conscience. They are opposed by a resistance movement present on several of SCP-3068's decks, primarily composed of the former human administration and several prominent Kharai. All of these individuals have developed significant personal problems, including large numbers of extramarital affairs and numerous incidents involving substance abuse. A vast illegal drugs network is now present in the station; several members of both the Lalandites and the human resistance have espoused a vague form of ideology they call "anarcho-atheist capitalism" as a solution. Foundation diplomatic efforts have continued unabated. Incident 3068-1: On 25/12/2016, a containment breach occurred. 38 new species suddenly appeared, including a large humanoid creature composed of fire (classified SCP-3068-A-105), a human-shaped absence of light and space (classified SCP-3068-A-143), and a vast sperm whale (classified SCP-3068-A-199). These three species all immediately headed towards Earth at a speed of 1 lightyear per minute, following extensive bombardment by SCP-3068. They were swiftly attacked and taken down by the Foundation's experimental Scranton Reality Cannon. The containment procedures have been fully revised to prepare more swiftly for similar incursions. Following this incident, Agent Cartwright, a security agent attached to the Foundation diplomatic mission to SCP-3068, found a small handwritten note in his quarters.

Following this, Foundation vessels undertook a large-scale investigation of any psionic activity surrounding SCP-3068. A large psionic impulse, consistent with reality bending humanoids, was found to originate from Earth and was being broadcast towards SCP-3068. "Desmond Sykes" has now been classified as SCP-3068-B. Attempts to locate SCP-3068-B are currently underway. Footnotes 1. One of the closest black holes to Earth. 2. Investigations are still occurring as to how this occurred, due to the apparent limits of Foundation scientific equipment. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3068" by Tufto, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3069 | keter | Map of SCP-3069's layout under the Atlantic Ocean. Estimations are unconfirmed and approximate due to size (see Description). Click to enlarge. Item #: SCP-3069 Special Containment Procedures: MTF Gamma-6 ("Deep Feeders") are partnered with the staff of Offshore Provisional & Research Site-3069 and Coastal North Carolinian Site-42 for the purposes of monitoring SCP-3069 activity. As deep-level research and exploratory efforts have been stalled indefinitely following the events of Exploration Log 2A, no excursions lower than pre-explored depths into SCP-3069 are to be allowed without permission from at least two acting O5 Council members, the Site Director of Site-42, and the Site Director of Site-3069. Following the full activation of SCP-3069 and confirmation that SCP-3069 is undergoing an Innova-Exonera Event, the following additional containment procedures should be enacted in the order of their respective stages: + show containment procedures for Stage I - hide Stage I denotes the time following initial activation of SCP-3069, estimated to have already occurred. During this time, the governments of all United Nations countries will be informed by a joint scientific branch of both the SCP Foundation and the Global Occult Coalition that a research team with NOAA1 has discovered a recent increase in sulfur-based manufacturing waste toxins throughout the North Atlantic. World governments will be encouraged to increase oceanic exploration and water quality research for the purposes of safety and gaining additional data; however, SCP-3069 itself must not be directly mentioned at any point, and if it is found that any exploratory advances by non-Foundation or -GOC parties have led to unauthorized discovery of SCP-3069, those involved should be detained, interrogated, amnesticized, and released if the situation permits. + show containment procedures for Stage II - hide Stage II denotes the time ranging from the end of Stage I2 to the point at which SCP-3069 undergoes an Innova-Exonera Event. During Stage II, news sources and unauthorized research publications by scientific organizations — both private and federal — must be monitored for unapproved information releases regarding abnormal and rapid changes in marine life and chemical composition of North Atlantic water. If a source is found to have fully discovered the existence and/or suspected function of SCP-3069, the creators of the information are to be located, detained, interrogated, and amnesticized. In the event that a source successfully publishes information about SCP-3069, a unique cover story is to be developed for each publication in question, and the creator(s) of the publication dismissed as fraudulent. + show containment procedures for Stage III - hide Stage III denotes the time period taking place after the point at which SCP-3069 undergoes an Innova-Exonera Event. During this time, SCP-3069 will have begun to release all materials and specimens held within it. The following must then occur: Map of affected US regions during Stage III. Click to enlarge. Note: The following procedures are for the US version of this document only. Foundation sites located in UN countries other than the United States are equipped with their own respective versions of the following procedures. SCP-2000 will be prepared for activation, with usage estimated to begin 2-5 years after the onset of Stage III. A full list of personnel slotted for use in SCP-2000 is restricted to O5 access only, and is not available in this document.3 Foundation emergency responders will partner with the CDC4 for the purposes of containing leakages of chemical hazards released by SCP-3069 or materials and entities released by SCP-3069. News sources will at this point be allowed to publish information about SCP-3069, as most media coverage will most likely be speculative and inaccurate. However, news sources and research organizations must still be monitored as closely as personnel availability and Foundation involvement allows, and researchers not affiliated with the Foundation, Global Occult Coalition, or NOAA who publish unique or previously undiscovered information about SCP-3069 should be detained and interrogated. An international ban on both private and commercial cross-Atlantic travel will be issued by the United Nations. The import of foreign products will be either carried out by air travel or halted completely.5 With the assistance of the US National Guard and US Coast Guard, all eastern American coastal towns will be fully evacuated and abandoned. Over the next several6 years, as much of the population as is possible will be moved further inland. By this point, the nature of SCP-3069 will have already become public due to the damaged state of coastal areas; information-suppression efforts should then be directed toward public education and safety training. However, directly informing the public of SCP-3069's origin and purpose will at no point be necessary, and should be avoided. Approximately 10 years7 after the full completion of an Innova-Exonera Event, as much as 60% of North American population will be dead or diseased; recovery efforts by the Foundation, Global Occult Coalition, and CDC should be directed to suppressing, quarantining, or terminating affected animals8 and cordoning off high-risk areas. All Foundation sites will enter XK-Class Standard Preparatory Mode, and will remain in this state as long as is possible for each individual site. Sites are permitted to develop their own specific containment procedures for this period, and should attach these to copies of this document when necessary. At this point, no excursions past any site boundaries are recommended nor permitted by the O5 Council. After this point, no deployed Foundation employees are to be permitted reentry to their respective sites, and should be informed of this beforehand to avoid confusion. SCP-2000 will be fully activated, and will be in use for an estimated 250-500 years. Following the aforementioned activation of SCP-2000, Foundation personnel will no longer be required to monitor or protect the populace, and these efforts will then be left to the management of federal and state governments. Description: SCP-3069 is the designation for a massive physical construct extending approximately 6000 kilometers across the North Atlantic Ocean. At the time of this writing, SCP-3069 continually releases specimens and substances of unknown origin, the purposes of which appear to be [REMOVED ON ORDER OF O5 COUNCIL] referred to as an Innova-Exonera Event. This development is recent, and was most likely triggered by a notable event taking place in June 2020 when TAT-14, the last functioning transatlantic telecommunications cable,9 suffered a massive failure within the vicinity of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Upon investigation by the Sprint Network Administration System,10 it was discovered that a section of a massive metallic structure had breached through a gap in the divergent boundary of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge near TAT-14 and severed it at three separate points over a 950-kilometer section. Topography of breach point and approximated layout of SCP-3069 in the relevant area. Click to enlarge. Figure A. Unknown specimen visible by equipment line. Access Point I's framework visible on left. Click to enlarge. SCP-3069's anomalous nature was then discovered when a NOAA exploration team investigated the original breach point (now designated Access Point I) of SCP-3069 and TAT-14. When their unmanned submarine approached the area, it was revealed that a number of unknown organisms had already been released into surrounding seawater (see Figure A), presumably directly after SCP-3069 collided with TAT-14. SCP-3069 has three known access points, all of which are also the original interception points of SCP-3069 and TAT-14. Due to SCP-3069's size, it is considered likely that SCP-3069 has an unknown number of additional access points which cannot be located. Access Point I is a large sealed pipe with a diameter of 25 meters, located at [EXACT COORDINATES REDACTED] at a depth of approximately 3500 meters. Access Point I allows entry though a series of external wiring ports on its underside. After several unsuccessful tests, it was discovered that a light electrical current (120 volts) applied to two of the three visible ports prompted response from a 5x5-meter square hatch on the inside wall of Access Point I. This hatch opened, allowing MTF Gamma-6 personnel access11 to a section of the interior of SCP-3069. Access Point II is identical in form and function to Access Point I, and is located at [EXACT COORDINATES REDACTED] at a depth of approximately 3200 meters. However, Access Point II appears to have suffered an internal structural failure at some point, and opening its hatch yields a blockage of an unknown, but nontoxic, sponge-like object. Drilling through this blockage has been considered, but not yet attempted due to its size and density. Access Point III is an invisible cylindrical spatial distortion located at 43°36'58.9"N 21°27'35.6"W at a depth of approximately 4000 meters, the size of which is estimated at a diameter of 150 meters and a height of 400 meters. Access Point III's anomalous nature appears to be caused by the installation of an immovable electromagnetic device, SCP-3069-A. SCP-3069-A is a two-meter12 steel pole topped with a phosphorescent sphere, composed of an unknown material. SCP-3069-A constantly emits a faint green light, a magnetic flux field of 23.4-32.0 Tesla,13 and low levels14 of gamma radiation. In 2021, Offshore Provisional & Research Site-3069 was established around Access Point III for the purposes of preventing entry into SCP-3069 by marine life forms, preventing exit from SCP-3069 by unknown life forms and substances, and establishing a point of research for SCP-3069 as a whole. + show Exploration Log 1A - hide On 03/06/21, five months after the initial discovery of SCP-3069, the first excursion into SCP-3069's interior was made through Access Point I. Three members of MTF Gamma-6 — Agents Jones, Garcia, and Lockwood — volunteered for field research and were instructed to enter through Access Point I's hatch and ascertain the following information about SCP-3069, if possible: The origin of the anomaly; the purpose of the anomaly, if applicable; any hazards present in the anomaly; how much of the anomaly is traversable, despite its massive size; whether the anomaly is one structure or multiple similar structures; whether the anomaly contains life. All three agents were equipped with Class VI Hazardous Exposure Suits, in addition to Foundation standard high-pressure scuba gear rated to a resistance capacity of 39,500 kPa. Agents Lockwood and Garcia were each equipped with waterproof digital cameras, and instructed to remain in the lead of the group, photographing any abnormalities, entities, or devices found on-board SCP-3069. Agent Jones was equipped with one miniature head-mounted video camera15 for the purposes of later analysis, and instructed to remain behind Agents Lockwood and Garcia at all times. Agent Jones was equipped with standard two-way radio equipment for the purposes of communicating with observation personnel. All three agents were equipped with full-body locking restraint harnesses attached to a cord rappelling system, the pulley equipment of which was located on MTF Gamma-6's R24 mobile reconnaissance vehicle16 for the purposes of pulling all three agents back to the exterior of the access point in the event of an emergency. Exploration Log 1A: Radio Transmission Log Foreword: Agent Jones is tasked with communicating the team's actions in real-time to Gamma-6 personnel on-board the R24 DSRV. Agent Jones is also tasked with instructing his team members to retreat should radio communications fail. If the team encounters an emergency or equipment failure, the harness system's line will be pulled by Agent Jones and the team members extracted to the DSRV via the path from which they came. The team members each have 40 minutes of air supply. Access Point I's hatch has already been opened by the DSRV's portside arm. Begin Log: 03/06/21 02:23:10 Agent Jones: This is Jones, checking comms. DSRV Base: We read your comms-check, Jones. Confirm status of team members. Agent Jones: Lockwood and Garcia are good to go. DSRV Base: Affirmative. Proceed away from the exterior of the vehicle and toward Access Point I. Agent Jones: Affirmative. Will contact when the hatch is entered. 25-second radio silence as the team swims from the DSRV to Access Point I's hatch. Agent Jones: Arrival. Lockwood and Garcia proceeding into access point. DSRV Base: Copy. 17-second radio silence as the team proceeds through the hatch and into SCP-3069's interior. DSRV Base: Describe your surroundings. And do not close the hatch, I repeat, do not close the hatch. Agent Jones: Hell no, I'm not closing the hatch. DSRV Base: Affirmative. What are your surroundings? Agent Jones: Dark. Lockwood, Garcia, let's all turn our headlamps on. (pause) Alright, base, we've got a flooded hallway-type structure here. Dilapidated, with some sort of green algae growth on equipment. DSRV Base: Photograph and document the equipment. Agent Jones: Affirmative. 15-second radio silence. Agent Jones: Done. Route ahead looks to be more of the same. Water is cloudy; headlamp beams are penetrating no more than fifteen meters out. Route is rectangular, like a hallway, and significantly smaller in width than the entry point. DSRV Base: How wide is this area? Agent Jones: No more than 10 meters. Team, keep to the right-side wall. 40-second radio silence as team proceeds further into the structure. DSRV Base: Please confirm status. Agent Jones: Slow-moving in here because of the water. We're sticking to the right-side wall. Later analysts, I'm holding up one finger in front of the head-mounted video camera right now; reference this to align editing times. DSRV Base: Appreciated, Agent. Can you describe the physical environment further? Agent Jones: Lockwood says she found some writing. Stand by while I proceed. DSRV Base: Affirmative. Agent Jones: Lockwood and Garcia are photographing the writing. It's not handwriting, it's printed, engraved, like a placard. It looks like some sort of warning sign. DSRV Base: Can you interpret it? Agent Jones: Negative. It's not in any language I've seen. DSRV Base: We'll get the linguists on it. Please proceed in whichever direction you choose. Agent Jones: Garcia says he's found another hatch. It's at the end of this hallway, and appears to be the only means of continuing forward. DSRV Base: Opening another hatch could cause significant water pressure differences, which could potentially induce physical symptoms. Make sure all team members recognize this before proceeding. Agent Jones: Understood. Garcia, Lockwood, I'm told we might get the bends if we open that and there's a pressure differentiation. Are you still alright with proceeding? 7-second radio silence. Agent Jones: Copy, base, they're alright with it. If we go silent for longer than five minutes, pull us in. DSRV Base: Affirmative. Please use caution. We can always send D-classes in. Agent Jones: Acknowledged, but we might as well proceed. I don't think the Site's gotten many yet since it was just built. Lockwood, try to turn that hatch open. DSRV Base: Report on what is behind the hatch immediately after opening it. Agent Jones: Will do. Garcia, help her turn the wheel to the right. 9-second radio silence. Agent Jones: Base, this thing isn't budging. DSRV Base: Turn it the other way. Agent Jones: Lockwood, try turning it clockwise. 10-second radio silence. Agent Jones: Affirmative, base, that appears to be working. The hatch doesn't open in the standard direction. Garcia, Lockwood, stand clear of the hatch as it opens, in case of a difference in pressure. Don't want us getting sucked into something. DSRV Base: How wide is this hatch? Agent Jones: Hatch is probably two meters across, access wheel is half a meter. Circular. DSRV Base: Copy that. Agent Jones: Lockwood says the hatch is now loose. She says that it feels like it's going to push open if she lets go of it, indicating that the pressure on that side may be significantly higher than that on this side. DSRV Base: If all team members are aware of this, proceed. 10-second radio silence. Agent Jones: Hatch is open. There's (distorted) some shit in this water. Dead fish and shit. Ugh. DSRV Base: Do you recognize the species? Agent Jones: They're too torn-up. The water's half-composed of blood and a green, slimy substance. God, I'm glad I can't smell right now. DSRV Base: Acknowledged. Proceed through the hatch. 10-second radio silence. Agent Jones: Alright. Garcia, Lockwood, go through. I'm right behind you. DSRV Base: Keep your lights on, and describe any changes in surroundings. Agent Jones: Alright, I'm- goddamn it, these fish bits need to get out of my fucking face. Give me a minute to let the gunk settle before I can see out of my visor. DSRV Base: Thirty minutes remaining on air supply. Agent Jones: Yeah, yeah, I know. 20-second radio silence. Agent Jones: Okay, here we go. Alright, this area's different. We've got what looks like some thick, transparent glass or plastic material. It's looking out over the sea floor, and there are two massive spotlights illuminating everything. I'm getting this on video and Lockwood and Garcia are photographing another foreign language placard they found. But the glass is fogged up. I can't see too well through it because it's deteriorated, but there's a really big view out there. DSRV Base: Photograph all that is necessary. 10-second radio silence. DSRV Base: Agent, I'm told that this environment does not match up with geographical mapping of this area. If the direction in which you have proceeded is accurate, you should at this point be underneath the sea floor. How far above the sea floor do you appear to be? Agent Jones: At least a hundred meters. It's hard to tell proportion from here, but this would be like standing on top of a small building and looking at the ground. The bottom is transparent, too; I can look under my feet and see out into the surrounding water, if I move my foot to push the piles of fish guts out of the way. It's dark, but it looks like this thing has some artificial lamps lighting the sea floor a little bit. I see some fish moving way below us, in the sand. DSRV Base: Noted. Proceed further down the route, and try to locate the source of the biological matter. Agent Jones: Affirmative. We're proceeding. 23-second radio silence as the team proceeds further away from the access point. Agent Jones: Something isn't right. DSRV Base: Describe immediately. Agent Jones: We're several more meters down, and we passed through a smaller hatch. There's a setup here: Some sort of elevator? No, it's not an elevator. It's a platform. There are these buttons by it — no, switches — with placards beside them. This is some sort of directory. Lockwood and Garcia are taking photographs as we speak. DSRV Base: Do not interact with the platform. Agent Jones: We won't. 13-second radio silence. Agent Jones: Hang on. Fuck. DSRV Base: What's wrong? Agent Jones: I found what's causing the fish bits. There's some sort of intake vent right here. Something with spinning blades. On our side, there's a thin mesh grate, but behind it is the body of a whale. At least I think it's a whale. I can't tell because it's so torn-up. I'm videoing it. DSRV Base: And the whale's viscera is leaking through the grate? Agent Jones: Affirmative. God, this is nasty. DSRV Base: You are free to proceed to a different area provided you are done photographing. Try to proceed further into the structure. Agent Jones: We're not seeing much. My flashlight beam can reach all the walls, and there are no further access points or hatches visible. If we move forward, it's going to have to be with this elevator thing. Provided the thing even works. DSRV Base: That is ill-advised. There is no telling what a transportation device of unknown function will do to human physiology. If you decide to proceed, do not go alone, and keep in mind that it could have adverse effects on your body. Agent Jones: Alright, noted. We'll keep looking around. DSRV Base: Can you move the whale carcass and access the vent? Agent Jones: I guess. It's a baby whale, but I don't exactly want to touch it. DSRV Base: You're wearing full hazmat equipment and a scuba suit. Get one of the other agents to do it, then. Agent Jones: Fine, fine. Garcia, help me get in here and move this damn thing. 34-second radio silence. DSRV Base: What is your status? Agent Jones: We're just about to… (interference) Fuck, there. We got the grate off and the whole carcass went flying into the room. Jesus. The room's half-blood now. Can our rebreathers filter out this much shit? DSRV Base: Yes, they can. The filters catch it, but try to slow your breathing a little. They're having to work harder to extract oxygen. Agent Jones: Alright, we can do that. How much time do we have? DSRV Base: Twenty-three minutes. Explore this upcoming area, and then retreat back to the vehicle for safety. Agent Jones: Much appreciated. 18-second radio silence. DSRV Base: What is your status? Agent Jones: This area isn't safe. There's a massive rushing current flowing from our right to our left. If we step out into it, it's not gonna go well. DSRV Base: We are not asking you to step into it. Photograph the area and surroundings. Agent Jones: Affirmative. Distance across is large; probably twenty meters. We seem to have doubled back on ourselves, but the layout doesn't match up. DSRV Base: Can you elaborate on that? Agent Jones: We made a U-turn from the observation hallway with the glass, which logically means that area would be to our right by a few meters at this point. But it's not. This is just an empty tunnel with a current flowing through it. DSRV Base: Alright. This is looking like an extradimensional anomaly, then. Explains the massive size of the thing. We'll make note of it. Don't lose sight or connection with your retrieval cord. Agent Jones: We won't. Lockwood, brace yourself on the edge here and hold my hand while you lean out and take a picture. Can you do that? DSRV Base: Be careful leaning out into any moving water. The difference in force could lead to injuries. Agent Jones: She's being careful. DSRV Base: Alright. Please retreat immediately after this. Agent Jones: Lockwood's gonna hang onto these pipes and crawl about five meters down along the side. She says she sees another placard with language and information. DSRV Base: That is not advised. Please use extreme caution. Agent Jones: Acknowledged. She's leaning out now. 15-second radio silence. DSRV Base: How far down is she? Agent Jones: She's almost- hang on, shit- (distorted) DSRV Base: Is there an emergency? Please respond. Agent Jones: Fuck, fuck. She just slipped, the- the fucking pipes snapped and fell off. Lockwood, wrap your hand around the retrieval cord and hang on while Garcia and I pull you up. DSRV Base: Do not hold onto anything that doesn't look solid. Agent Jones: We know, we know. (distorted) Fuck, fuck, she's- (unintelligible) No, no, you don't have to do that, just try to grab the wall, we can brace you- (unintelligible) Fuck, base, we're all slipping. Lockwood- no, don't, we can pull you up, just stop moving- (unintelligible) No, no! Oh my- fuck. Fuck. (distorted) DSRV Base: What is your status? Agent Jones: Lockwood cut the fucking cord. We were all falling and she just- she saw that we were slipping and she reached up with her knife and cut herself off. Christ. DSRV Base: Understood. Can you see her? 8-second radio silence. Agent Jones: She's gone, she's so far down the stream that I can't even see where it ends. It's too dark to see past several meters anyway. I swear I can hear- do you know how far sound would travel in water like this, through these suits? (unintelligible) I swear I can hear her. Fucking hell. DSRV Base: It is highly unlikely that you would be able to hear her at this point; the distance would be too great. Return immediately to the vehicle. Agent Jones: (distorted) Alright. Come on, Garcia. DSRV Base: Report any abnormalities you notice on your way back. Agent Jones: Yes. 17-second radio silence. Agent Jones: The- the whale's gone. DSRV Base: The whale is gone? Are you saying the carcass is out of sight? Agent Jones: The whale carcass is gone from this room it had ended up in after we cleared the vent. The water is clear again too. DSRV Base: What has changed in the surroundings? 20-second radio silence. Agent Jones: (low volume) I- don't want to talk too loudly. There's something… off. About the wall by the elevator device. DSRV Base: Why are you whispering? Is there an entity present? Agent Jones: (low volume) Yes. By the wall. DSRV Base: If you are unsafe to speak, remain silent and exit the structure. If you feel comfortable speaking, describe its physical appearance, and photograph it if possible. Agent Jones: (low volume) I can't- it's not visible. DSRV Base: You said it was by the wall. Agent Jones: (low volume) I know. I know it's there. That's where the lighting changed. It turned something on over there. It's messing with the device with all the switches. I don't think it's looking at me yet. DSRV Base: Please describe it. If you do not see anything, it could be possible that this is a paranoia response following trauma- Agent Jones: (low volume) This isn't a hallucination. There is something here and it just cleaned up the whale gunk. And now it's fixing the elevator. DSRV Base: How do you know? Agent Jones: (low volume) I'm watching it. (distorted) It's a clearer patch of water. It's a slight difference in the light. It's flipping switches, I'm watching them move. DSRV Base: Are you saying this entity is invisible, but affected by water and light? Agent Jones: (low volume) No, I'm saying this is incorporeal. I can't actually tell if it's there or not. It hasn't talked to me yet. (unintelligible) Garcia says the same thing. What do you want us to do? DSRV Base: If it hasn't noticed you yet and is not observable to photograph, exit the way you came. Agent Jones: Okay. Alright. I don't think it can hear. I'm talking at normal volume now and it hasn't noticed us. DSRV Base: Stay silent and report when you exit the room. This should take no longer than sixty seconds. 25-second radio delay. Agent Jones: Fuck, fuck. No. Just- no. (low volume) Every time I move, I feel it noticing me. I think it can feel the water. The movement in the water. It's going to look at us and (distorted) stop us. DSRV Base: Are you saying this entity has hostile intentions? Do not feel compelled to answer if speaking is unsafe. Agent Jones: No, no, it definitely can't hear. Either that or the suit and water is blocking any sound it would hear anyway. But it's moving. DSRV Base: How do you know it's moving? Agent Jones: I feel it- it's a- hot spot. On my head, as a headache. I'm watching it shift to the other side of the room. It's a fuzzy spot in my vision, like I'm looking at a bright light. The spot moves just like my headache does. The headache- it's on my left temple now. It's moving to the left side of the room to stop us from exiting. DSRV Base: If you feel it necessary, move faster to exit the hatch. When you exit, tell us, and we will immediately reel in the line. Agent Jones: It wouldn't chase us. DSRV Base: How do you know this? Please make an effort to remember what you are feeling right now, for the purposes of later interview and analysis. Agent Jones: It's- fuck, fuck, my head- DSRV Base: Is Garcia safe? Agent Jones: (low volume) He's right here. Look, I don't want to go past this thing. If I went for the hatch now, I would be walking through it. The thought of doing that is- I have a very strong feeling that I shouldn't. DSRV Base: If it is noncorporeal, you are most likely safe to walk through it, even if you perceive that it is occupying a physical space. Agent Jones: No, no, fuck no. This is different. This thing is here. I see it as- little shapes swimming around in my vision. It's trying to get in my head. DSRV Base: Do you have cognitohazard resistance training? Agent Jones: No. I'm a fucking scuba diver, not a memeticist. We don't deal with shit like this. You know that. DSRV Base: If you are ill-equipped to block out emotional interference from an anomalous entity, I would still advise both of you to simply proceed through the area as fast as possible. You are running out of air. Agent Jones: (low volume) I can't do this. Garcia can't either, he looks like he's going to pass out. I would rather run out of air than (unintelligible) and it's staring at me. It's staring right at me. It's staring through me. It just made this noise, this ringing noise in my head, it's making my vision go blue and my ears bleed. (unintelligible) I think it wants me. DSRV Base: If you are unsafe, there is no- Distortion, scraping, and unintelligible vocalizations are heard. 23-second radio silence. Agent Jones: No, no, no- (distorted) DSRV Base: Report on your status. Agent Jones: (low volume) It got in me. It got- It (unintelligible) DSRV Base: You have less than ten minutes of air supply left. If you are unaffected, you need to exit immediately. Where is Garcia? 20-second radio silence. Agent Jones: (distorted) Safe. DSRV Base: Okay. If you are both safe, then exit immediately. Where is the entity? Agent Jones: Un… present. DSRV Base: The entity is no longer present? (unintelligible interference) Agent Jones: The entity is no longer present. DSRV Base: Return to the vehicle. Agent Jones: (unintelligible) The vehicle. I am coming. DSRV Base: Affirmative. 47-second radio silence. Upon retrieval, Agent Jones does not respond to questioning, nor does he allow the vehicle crew to reel in the safety line for a faster exit. Following their return, Agents Jones and Garcia are moved to Site-3069 for questioning and medical treatment, respectively. Afterword: Due to events outlined in the above log, Agent Jones was detained on-site in Site-3069's medical wing for the purposes of determining his mental state and any manners in which the undefined anomaly affected him. However, as Agent Jones' rapidly declining health prevented thorough communication from taking place, no interview was conducted before he expired. Advanced autopsy determined the following results: The cause of death was a heart attack, presumably triggered by a blocked artery. In the brain, abnormally high levels of dopamine and serotonin were found.17 Several unidentified substances18 were found both on Agent Jones' skin and in his bloodstream, despite the fact that no leakages were present in his scuba suit or oxygen tank following extraction. Agent Jones' body was marked as biologically hazardous, and incinerated following autopsy completion. + show Interview Log 2A - hide Interview Log 2A: Discussion of Hull Breach Foreword: On March 10th, 2021, four days after the death of Agent Jones, a breach in Site-3069's northeastern external hull was detected. After the wing's security and pressure-detection system automatically sealed off the affected section, a repair excursion was made into the area in question after it had fully filled with water. On-Site Response Team C4, equipped with standard protective scuba and repair equipment, was tasked with investigating the breach. Due to the low severity level of this assignment, audio and video recording equipment was not present when the following events occurred; these events are the eyewitness of team leader Maxwell Swain, collected in an interview with Site Security Director Mallory Wickerford. Said interview is transcribed below. Begin Log: 03/10/21 16:30:17 Wickerford: Good afternoon. My name is Wickerford, and I'm the director of security at Site-3069. We need to ask you a few questions to clarify what you and your crew witnessed earlier today when you repaired a breach in the Site's hull. Are you alright with that? Swain: Yeah, yeah, of course. We've met once before, I thought. Wickerford: We may have, yes. Now, can I start by asking you if you noticed anything abnormal about the water that filled the affected section after the hull breached? Swain: No, the water itself wasn't abnormal. Pressure was pretty normal, too, even for a malfunction, but that might just be because we gave it time to fill. Wickerford: Right. Swain: The four of us didn't notice at first, because it didn't look like a person just due to the shape. But when we noticed, Garcia recognized her immediately and started panicking. Wickerford: And this is the subject Garcia claims physically resembles Teresa Lockwood, a task force agent who was declared missing in action four days ago? Swain: He claims it because it's her. I hate to phrase it so blunt, but I recognized her face too, just from seeing her in the hallways around here. She's pretty distinctive-looking, I guess is what did it. I always recognized her in the hallways at work, so I immediately remembered whose face I was looking at on this thing. Wickerford: Can you elaborate on the state of what 'this thing' was? Are you saying that this was her body and she was deceased? Swain: Well, it was her, I think. But her body must have gotten torn up when it got sucked into the hull breach hole, just because of the pressure difference. She was still wearing remains of a scuba suit — I could see it around her waist and chest — but it was all torn-up. Wickerford: Can you confirm that she appeared fully deceased? Would your team theoretically be capable of retrieving the body? Swain: How would she not be dead after that? Wickerford: I understand your reasoning, but there may have been anomalous materials or entities affecting her in unknown ways following her disappearance within SCP-3069. Ideally, we would want to do a full autopsy on her body to determine what occurred on-board the device. Swain: The 'device'? I haven't heard it described that way before. Do you guys think this thing has a function still? Wickerford: Can you clarify on what you mean by 'still'? Swain: I mean, clearly it used to serve some purpose, but it's abandoned and defunct now. That's what we found in that exploration, right? The one where they lost Teresa? Wickerford: I'm afraid I'm not at liberty to discuss any details along those lines. Swain: What? Hang on, is there something that makes you think it's still active and used by- Wickerford: That's all I can say on the topic, my apologies. Now, would you mind confirming once more that you are certain Teresa's body was fully dead? Swain: I guess I couldn't say, then, given what you think about whatever happened on-board. I mean, yeah, she looked dead. Wickerford: Noted. Could your team retrieve the body? We're still not quite clear on what happened to the body when the breach was repaired and the water expelled from the area. Swain: (hesitates) I- I'm not sure. Her body was quite a few feet from us, and the water was murky enough that if she'd drifted any further back, she'd have been out of sight. Wickerford: I don't quite envision what you're describing, I'm afraid. Are you saying that the water was too dark for you to see where the body went when it drifted off in the direction opposite from you? Swain: Yeah, exactly. The headlamp beams just couldn't go that far through the water, and when we repaired the breach, well- I'll be honest, we're not used to seeing that sort of thing, so we were a little on-edge and in a hurry to get out of there. We did our job and when we didn't see her body drift back toward us, we left as per standard procedure. Wickerford: Understandable, alright. But why is her body not within that particular section of the wing now that the hull has been restored and the section re-opened? Swain: I- I couldn't say, honestly. There's- (hesitates) Wickerford: Was there anything visibly unusual about the body? Swain: That's what I was about to point out, but it was such a quick glimpse that I feel like I can't confirm what I saw. Wickerford: Understood, but please describe it for later analysis anyway. Swain: Alright. You know that device the Site is built around? The stick stuck in the mud? It's in the middle observation area, right around Access Point Three. Wickerford: That device is SCP-3069-A, yes. I'm familiar with it. Swain: You know that light it emits? That almost-blue shade of dark green? Wickerford: Yes. Swain: I saw that color. That color light, in a string. I'm having trouble describing this because I only noticed it for a second. It was really faint, only visible for a short time before her body drifted out of sight. Wickerford: You saw a device similar to SCP-3069-A, you mean? Swain: No, not a full-on device like that thing, just the same color. (hesitates) I know this sounds uncertain, but you know what I'm talking about. It's a very weird color, almost dark, like too dark to be light waves, not bright enough. And hurts your eyes like an ultraviolet bulb does. You know what I mean, you've seen 3069-A emit it, everyone talks about how weird it is. It was definitely that color; no one could miss it. Wickerford: Yes, I'm familiar with its oddity. How was this light present? Swain: It was… coming out of her. In little strings. I don't know how to word it, I only saw it for a second and it was- it- felt weird to look at it, like I was looking at something that wasn't supposed to be there, like a mirage. There were these- these little strings of light, coming out of her mouth and out between her legs and sort of coiled around her leg where the suit was torn. Wickerford: Out of her mouth and- Swain: Like a few thick strings of just that color light. Like there were thin cables, but they were glowing that same color. It was- ugh, it was awful to look at, I'm having trouble wording it. Wickerford: Take your time. You don't need to be uncomfortable. Swain: I'm fine, it's just - I don't know how to describe it other than it looking like someone had taken this bunch of five or six cords and just threaded them through her body. In one end and out the other, like just straight through her. Like a pig on a spit. Wickerford: Noted. Swain: And that other glowing thing, the device we built the site around? It's clearly made of the same stuff. And we already know that that thing is what causes Access Point Three's boundary in the first place. It's the- the transporter thing, you know what I'm saying. I can't find my words because this is making me nervous. Wickerford: It's understandable, but try to keep your focus. It seems from your witness account that you believe Teresa Lockwood's body isn't present in the area in which it was previously present not because the water drained and it went out with it, but because a material with the same extradimensional capabilities as SCP-3069-A was present on the body? Swain: And that activated and removed her body. Wickerford: Alright, alright. I can see the reasoning in that, given what SCP-3069-A does, so we'll document it and keep an eye out for any future occurrences. Do you have any further concerns about this subject, or events on which to elaborate? Swain: Yeah. Wickerford: Alright, go ahead. Swain: The strings- I only saw them when I looked at her. In the face. Like, trying to find her eyes on her face, which were stuck open. And once I looked at her, that was when I noticed the strings- only once I looked at her eyes. And then she was gone. (hesitates) Wickerford: Go on. Swain: It just makes me nervous. Look, we all know what happened to Jones - word gets out. [UNCONFIRMED SPECULATIVE INFORMATION REDACTED] him, and might still be watching. Wickerford: You think it wasn't a coincidence that her body disappeared right after you looked directly at it. Understood. Swain: It's that, but it's the similarity to 3069-A that worries me. I might just be paranoid. Wickerford: What is that, then? Swain: Look, if something is watching that 3069-A material — that stuff that has that distinctive color and effects — I'm worried that means they're watching the site too. Wickerford: This meaning? Swain: That if they can use that stuff to whisk off a human body when the time is right, they might also be able to whisk off the entire site when the time is right. Wickerford: Access Point Three has been determined a stable — if anomalous — point in space, and shows no signs of growing, shrinking, or failing. Swain: Maybe because they're watching you measure it. Wickerford: I see. Your opinion on the matter is noted, and I will pass your security concerns to my supervisors if you wish. Swain: Oh, God, I- like I said, maybe I'm just paranoid, but- I don't know. Yeah, pass it on. Keep my name attached too. Wickerford: Will do. Is there anything else you wish to clarify? Swain: I guess not. (hesitates) Thank you for your time, and please let me know what your supervisors say if you can. Wickerford: I will make sure to relay to you anything within your clearance level. Swain: Alright, fair enough. Thanks. Wickerford: Thank you. Afterword: Swain's concerns were relayed from Site Security Director Mallory Wickerford to the Site Director, as well as their immediate associates and the head of the Research and Development Department. Ultimately, due to the lack of video evidence of the events described and the cloudy, low-light environment of the place of occurrence, these claims were dismissed and Mr. Swain informed of the decision. Due to the fact that Teresa Lockwood's body was seen in a closed area but not later found, it is considered a possibility that she has not died nor left SCP-3069, and that her purported presence in Site-3069 was a shared hallucination of anomalous nature by Swain and the other personnel witnessing. In regards to this, Teresa Lockwood has been refiled in personnel records from Missing in Action to Uncertain. SCP-3069 continually leaks a variety of foreign substances, as well as some unknown lifeforms, into surrounding Atlantic seawater. Most substances are sulfur-based, and are often mistaken for naturally occurring excretions from undersea hydrothermal vents. Lifeforms released by SCP-3069 are similar in appearance to marine life from the demersal and benthic zones, but are typically not recognizable as any species currently present on earth beyond some visual similarities. The presence of these materials is estimated to signify the beginning of SCP-3069's activation. An Innova-Exonera Event is estimated to occur by the year 2024, which will in turn cause the start of a planet-wide EK-Class Evolutionary Restructuring Scenario.19 Research into the frequency at which biological and chemical matter leaks from SCP-3069 into surrounding seawater has shown that this event is unavoidable, and has likely already begun to progress toward activation significantly. It is estimated that the full release of foreign specimens from SCP-3069 into seawater was intended to occur in approximately 1940-1950, but was delayed by unknown errors on-board the structure which culminated with the results of the seismic shift that displaced SCP-3069 and in turn severed TAT-14. However, as exploratory efforts have been greatly reduced due to severe loss of personnel, this cannot be confirmed. Further research into the origin of SCP-3069, as well as the materials it releases, is ongoing.

This section should not be intentionally memorized for later recollection or recitation. Addendum I: Extended Description SCP-3069 is the designation for a massive physical construct extending approximately 6000 kilometers across the North Atlantic Ocean. At the time of this writing, SCP-3069 continually releases specimens and substances of unknown origin, the purposes of which appear to be environmental disruption which will culminate with the implementation of accelerated artificial evolutionary advancement of most if not all of Earth's species. Hundreds of new species will be released from SCP-3069, evidenced by exploration of several access points and pre-released materials of a similar nature. Due to the toxicity toward humans and the anomalous growth rate of specimens released by SCP-3069, it is estimated that SCP-3069 will successfully cause an evolutionary overhaul culminating with the extinction of at least 90-95% of humanity within several centuries. This, and the physical release of the initializing materials, is referred to as an Innova-Exonera Event. (For continuation, refer to main document.) Addendum II: Research Results Date: 03.13.21 Location: Site-3069 Research Conducted by (if applicable): Lead Researcher Maggie Jarman Documented by: Lead Researcher Maggie Jarman Summary: Images recovered from Exploration 1A into Access Point I were provided. Linguistic analysis on the unknown language present on the signs in the images was conducted over a 48-hour period. Comparisons were made with most if not all known hieroglyphics, due to the similarity in the appearance of the foreign transcriptions. Analysis of Results: Close connections were found with both Egyptian and Mi'kmaq hieroglyphic writings. By cross-referencing Egyptian text, Mi'kmaq text, and SCP-3069 text, as well as analyzing the context and setting in which the SCP-3069 text was found, a rough translation was made for both signs. On the first sign, the following figures were interpreted in the following order: a figure meaning "safe, secure, solid", a figure meaning "zone, place, area", a horizontal line, a figure meaning "threat, danger", and a figure meaning "wind, force, stream". On the second sign, the following figures were interpreted in the following order: a figure meaning "carry, transport, bring", a figure meaning "produce, grow, form", a figure meaning "zone, place, area", a figure meaning "again", a figure meaning "build, building, construct", a figure meaning "earth, dirt, nature", and a figure meaning "spirit, soul, life". The former sign was found near the entrance of Access Point I and the other was found near the tunnel in which Agent Teresa Lockwood first went Missing in Action. Date: 04.05.21 Location: Site-3069 Research Conducted by (if applicable): Assistant Researcher James Dhillon Documented by: Lead Researcher Maggie Jarman Summary: An attempt to directly approach and physically contact SCP-3069-A was made using one D-class personnel equipped with standard scuba equipment. D-9182 was instructed to directly touch the sphere of SCP-3069-A. After doing so, their camera revealed that the device's sphere was severely and rapidly degrading the palm of the scuba suit's glove; D-9182 expressed concern over the radio, but cited that they were not able to remove their hand by means of any simple muscle movement. After approximately 15 seconds, SCP-3069-A's sphere caused the glove to deteriorate to a point at which its pressure seal broke and water flowed into the suit. D-9182 expressed distress and vocalized being in pain, but soon expired due to internal bleeding caused by pressure differentiation. Analysis of Results: It is possible that SCP-3069-A's sphere simply holds a high temperature at all times, and that this is why the suit failed. However, it is notable that D-9182 expressed that something was preventing them from removing their hand from the sphere; the possibility that Maxwell Swain of On-Site Response Team C4 was correct in hypothesizing that sapient entities of the same type encountered in Exploration Log 1A are continually observing both SCP-3069-A and materials similar to it should not be ruled out. Date: 04.23.21 Location: Site-3069 Research Conducted by (if applicable): Acting Site Director Documented by: Head Researcher Marty Walkins Summary: D-4927 was exposed to an unknown entity expelled from Access Point III, appearing to belong to the class Hydrozoa. In a controlled on-site underwater environment, D-4927 was equipped with a breathing tube, oxygen mask, and goggles, and suspended unclothed in a two-meter-deep saltwater container. The unknown specimen, which was phosphorescent with tendrils and approximately a half-meter in length, slowly attached itself to his body and proceeded to [EXTRANEOUS INFORMATION EXPUNGED]20 until such a point at which he was unwilling to respond to his name and designation or any relevant conversation prompts, instead only taking his mask off, making continual eye contact with researchers through the glass, and repeating a phrase in an unknown language until he drowned. Analysis of Results: Unknown implications. Further human testing research denied by Site Director. Pending override approval. Date: 05.09.21 Location: Site-3069 Research Conducted by (if applicable): Junior Researcher Miriam Waters Documented by: Agent E. Jones Summary: An unmanned exploration was made into Access Point II using a miniature drone equipped with underwater camera. The excursion lasted a total of 45 minutes, and the drone was safely returned to the DSRV upon completion. Access Point II's organic blockage was cleared by means of 31 minutes of power drilling. Following this, a massive release of both animate and deceased lifeforms flooded out of the orifice, swarming the drone. The drone recovered, but suffered minor damage to its back right rotor, and returned to the DSRV for repairs. Following its re-release, it began the excursion into Access Point II by progressing into a tunnel which progressively shrunk in diameter. After several dozen meters, the tunnel diameter appeared too small for the drone to pass through, but a secondary path to the left was detected. The drone proceeded down it, and through seven other tunnels of varying length and diameter until it emerged 9 minutes later in a massive chamber lined with what appeared to be hundreds of transparent glass containers, each with some sort of powered-off display screen adjacent it. The drone ascended and approached one of the containers, but an unknown entity knocked into it, disrupting the recording equipment; when recording equipment reactivated 90 seconds later, the drone was on dry ground pointing upward at a dimly lit, small room. A humanoid figure was seen pacing the room, which approached the drone, looked directly into its lens,21 and threw it back into the water. After 4 minutes of murky water and slightly distorted footage, the drone was seen returning to the tunnels from which it originally came. 10 minutes later, it emerged with only minor damage, and returned to the DSRV for footage retrieval. Analysis of Results: The presence of a Foundation employee in a state such as that being on-board SCP-3069 is disconcerting, and even further so considering that there exist apparently one or more areas on-board SCP-3069 that are not submerged in water, and evidently hold air capable of supporting human life. While it would be useful to get an air sample, there is no way of telling from the footage we have how the drone arrived in that area and what path(s) it took to do so; therefore, it is near-impossible to reach the same area again unless by chance or by means of SCP-3069's apparent extradimensional layout affecting drone travel. The presence of hundreds of what appear to be containment units within SCP-3069 would explain the source (assuming the source is singular) of the specimens it releases, and is worthy of further investigation, potentially in the form of a manned exploration. Date: 06.25.22 Location: Site-42 Research Conducted by (if applicable): N/A Documented by: N/A Summary: Several personnel were sent 45 kilometers offshore to dispatch a large research DSRV, which descended to a depth of 800 meters for a period of six days. Over this time, the vessel collected multiple specimens, including several species of plankton and one cephalopod. These specimens were returned to Site-42 for research, with another offshore retrieval excursion planned for the following week. All species collected (a total of 15) were previously unheard of, and did not match any existing documentation, though the plankton appeared physically similar to some known species in initial testing. The cephalopod appeared to be an oversized Sepioteuthis lessoniana (notably not native to the North Atlantic), though purple in coloration and possessing 19 arms. The cephalopod's excretions were found in both human and animal testing to be severely toxic, leading to blistering of the skin and the onset of seizures within approximately 10 minutes. While animal subjects survived with apparent neurological damage, the two human subjects expired due to cardiac arrest 30-45 minutes after initial exposure. Analysis of Results: While it is considered unlikely that any sort of radiological or chemical waste spill occurred in that range within the past 3-30 years (arguably the only feasible reason for severe genetic mutations in marine life), another excursion to a separate area is scheduled for additional research. Date: 07.01.22 Location: Site-42 Research Conducted by (if applicable): N/A Documented by: N/A Summary: Several personnel were sent 70 kilometers offshore to dispatch a large research DSRV, which descended to a depth of 800 meters for a period of eight days. Over this time, the vessel collected multiple specimens, including several species of plankton, two cephalopods, and an unknown entity appearing similar to those found in Polypodiozoa. These specimens were returned to Site-42 for research. All species collected (a total of 18) were previously unheard of, and did not match any existing documentation. Similar to in previous tests, the cephalopods' excretions were found in both human and animal testing to be severely toxic, leading to blistering of the skin, the onset of seizures, and full cardiac arrest within approximately 10 minutes. The creature seemingly belonging to Polypodiozoa was animate, and after approval from lead researchers, was allowed to exit its tank. For 13 minutes, it rolled itself across the floor at a slow speed, seemingly unaffected by the change of environment from water to air. However, despite its slow speed and lack of notable behavior or sentience, it rolled into the leg of one researcher and left a large blister on her ankle. The specimen was then returned to its tank, and later terminated for extraction and analysis of toxins. These toxins were found to be sulfur-based, and chemically similar to those found in the cephalopods. Analysis of Results: The severe mutations found in marine life can, at this point, feasibly be sourced from SCP-3069. Further excursions are pending approval, but deemed unsafe at this time. Date: N/A Location: Site-42 Research Conducted by (if applicable): N/A Documented by: O5-6 Summary: Following the events of 2021 and 2022, it was determined relevant to allow Site-42 personnel to make additional excursions to the nearby beach to take shore-level water samples. However, the two personnel sent did not respond to their radio calls nor return whatsoever, and have been flagged as Missing in Action. Analysis of Results: This is a dangerous topic to research, and I and some others don't find it a coincidence that one of the personnel missing is extremely visually similar to the individual seen in drone footage from 2021, and wearing the same uniform at that. The Site-3069 research personnel insist that the extent of this thing's anomalous effects goes no further than its size, framework, origin, and extradimensional capabilities, but I don't see how a minor temporal effect would be all that absurd to suggest given those parameters. For a machine of that scale, a temporal anomaly pattern may very well show up as nothing other than a metaphysical glitch. You can't have a device that alters — and, for lack of better phrasing, outright denies — our laws of physics to such an extreme degree without having a few flukes. The truth is, this thing isn't here to watch us. It's been here too long for a generic purpose like that. It's here because someone, something, somewhere, made the decision to interfere with the way this planet's biology functions. And in their eyes, whatever they're doing is long overdue, so they've decided to accelerate it. If further research into specimens released is needed, I personally do not advise it, nor do I advise any further direct interactions with SCP-3069. I understand that research must be conducted when clarification is needed, but there is nothing further to clarify at this point. -O5-6 | ██.██.20██ Footnotes 1.

SCP-3070 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3070 Special Containment Procedures: Foundation assets within the International Astronomical Union and its Minor Planet Center are to monitor name choices for newly discovered minor planets. Changes to the names of any minor planet require Level 4/3070 authorization. Foundation orbital task forces and satellites will routinely monitor cataloged minor planets, though the existence of approximately 460,000 such objects prevents full monitoring. All SCP-3070-A that manifest are to be retrieved by Orbital Task Force ञ-12 ("Little Princes"). Following analysis, objects may either be stored at Heliocentric Area-16 or destroyed following Level 4/3070 personnel review. Description: SCP-3070 is a phenomenon affecting minor planets1 orbiting the sun that have been categorized by the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center — primarily those designated with a number and a name. The phenomenon causes objects (designated SCP-3070-A) related to the minor planet's IAU designation to manifest either in orbit2 or on the surface of the body. This manifestation has never been directly observed. Instances of SCP-3070-A display various anomalous properties while on or orbiting the minor planet; these properties cease after relocation. Currently 437 minor planets have been affected by SCP-3070. No minor planets have been affected twice. Addendum.1 - Notable Incidents: Minor Planet: 262419 Suzaka 3070-A Discovery Date: 15-September-2013 Description: 1:1000 scale limestone models of all buildings present in Suzaka, Japan were orbiting the asteroid in a single ring formation. Minor Planet: 1981 Midas 3070-A Discovery Date: 29-October-2013 Description: 288 golden conical pillars (91cm long and 23mm wide at the base) were embedded on the asteroid's surface, forming 4 concentric dodecagons. Minor Planet: 399979 Lewseaman 3070-A Discovery Date: 10-July-2013 Description: Three bronze cylinders (14m long and 19cm wide) displaying the logo of General Electrics on each end were embedded on the minor planet's surface. Minor Planet: 124192 Moletai 3070-A Discovery Date: 17-May-2014 Description: A 1:50 scale replica of the Molėtai Astronomical Observatory, made of the same materials as the asteroid, was following a rapidly changing elliptical orbit around the body. The SCP-3070-A instance collided with 124192 Moletai and was destroyed as recovery efforts began. Minor Planet: 495827 3070-A Discovery Date: 4-December-2016 Description: 168 renditions of the number 495827 were inscribed on the astronomical body's surface, written in differing fonts and sizes. Minor Planet: 882 Swetlana 3070-A Discovery Date: 9-December-2016 Description: Six 100m-tall and 2m-wide pillars of deceased Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda3 were connected to the asteroid. The legs of each cadaver were fused to those of the bodies around it. Note: No explanation of 882 Swetlana's name is known. Minor Planet: 54439 Topeka 3070-A Discovery Date: 12-December-2016 Description: 233,870 tendrils of assorted eye tissue, each of differing length (maximum of 24m), extended from asteroid. Genetic tests of a sample of the tendrils suggested that each one correlated to a resident of Topeka, Kansas during the time of the 2010 United States Census. All tendrils dissolved on 17-December-2016. Minor Planet: 672 Astarte 3070-A Discovery Date: 21-December-2016 Description: 12 rings of a fluid composed of human egg cells, liquid carbon dioxide, and Panthera leo bleyenberghi4 blood were orbiting the minor planet. The fluids froze and dispersed after two days. Genetic analysis of the blood revealed the presence of chemicals similar to DNA, possessing six base pairs and three strands. The function of the chemicals (temporarily designated C-3070) is unknown. Minor Planet: 1996 Adams 3070-A Discovery Date: 1-December-2017 Description: Twelve cadavers resembling John Couch Adams5 at the time of his death were found connected to the minor planet by 3m-long umbilical cords. Each was found wearing attire typical of the late 1800s. The cadavers and cords experienced the symptoms of space exposure when cut. Minor Planet: 1991 Darwin 3070-A Discovery Date: 11-January-2018 Description: 24 Chelonoidis nigra abingdonii6 were observed to be alive and actively moving across the surface of the asteroid. Relocation resulted in death. Surgery performed on the cadavers revealed that each lacked internal organs and skeletal structure, and instead had a severed head resembling either Charles Darwin or George Darwin within the body, connected to the limbs and neck via bundles of nerve tissue extending from the neck. C-3070 was found within cadaver cells, having replaced all DNA. Addendum.2 - SCP-3070-1: On 10-January-2018, janitorial staff working at the IAU headquarters in Paris, France, discovered an anomaly (designated SCP-3070-1) embedded in the walls of the building. SCP-3070-1 is a combination of metal tubes (some composed of exo-planetary metals), assorted human tissues from varying body parts, cybernetic organs, and devices resembling television antennae. Analysis of tissues found large quantities of C-3070, which have been observed to act as a DNA analogue, and human DNA matching all IAU members. Several of SCP-3070-1's tubes are attached to a 2018 Macbook Pro laptop, which is partially connected to a column of white matter and cardiac muscle. The laptop is powered on at all times, and has full internet and IAU database access. On multiple occasions prior to the discovery of a new SCP-3070-A instance, text will appear on the laptop screen for varying periods of time.

SCP-3071 | neutralized | by fabula Item №: SCP-3071 Artistic representation of the banana. Special Containment Procedures: Remains of SCP-3071 incinerated. Testing has concluded. Martha Langley’s pets, one cat and two ferrets, went into the possession of Site 126 security guard Michael Pearson, all since deceased. Description: SCP-3071 was the materialisation of a non-anomalous Cavendish banana in the head of Martha Langley on March 23rd, 1987 at her home in Aberdeen, Scotland. SCP-3071 resulted in the separation and ejection of most of Martha Langley’s brain tissue and skull. Fragments of both were found in adjacent spaces to the dining room SCP-3071 occurred in, and various stains were present on all walls and the ceiling. Martha Langley is thought to have died between 0 and 0.5 seconds after SCP-3071. The banana also exploded. The Foundation was made aware of SCP-3071 after a suicide report and police intervention. A cause for SCP-3071 has never been identified, but multiple have been disproven including teleportation, manual insertion and the Warhol effect. Addendum.3071.1: Testing Log Test №: 1 Test: Teleportation of 50 successive Cavendish bananas into 50 D-Class personnel heads. Result: Humans found uniquely susceptible to banana teleportation. Test №: 2 Test: 50 Cavendish bananas shot by AR-15, one bullet each. Result: No new information gained. Test №: 3 Test: 7.3 kg sledgehammer applied on 50 Cavendish bananas.

SCP-3072 | safe | SCP-3072 in containment at Foundation Administrative Complex-55. Item #: SCP-3072 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3072 is to be stored in a category-SSPT1 researcher-accessible office in Foundation Administrative Complex-55. The office is to be furnished with a desk, chair, photocopier, connected Foundation database terminal, and a lockbox. The office is to be limited to Level 4+3072 persons, any Level 5 persons, or any persons carrying temporary Level 6-Delegate status. Level 4+3072 persons are to: Keep SCP-3072, its containment area, and the Foundation database terminal inside its containment area in proper working order with standard tools and materials, to be made available onsite. Photocopy and transcribe all SCP-3072 messages and place them in a secure location on the Foundation intranet, in a directory only readable by Level 6 personnel. Archive the printed SCP-3072 messages in the on-site lockbox provided for this purpose. Foundation Administrative Complex-55. SCP-3072 is to be accessible to all Foundation personnel in the event the organization-wide Emergency Threat Level is set to 9 or 10, and will remain accessible for the duration of the emergency. Available personnel in or nearby Foundation Administrative Complex-55 should attempt to reach the office in which it is contained during such an emergency, following instructions detailed in the Extraordinary Special Containment Procedures, located at ESCP-3072. Description: SCP-3072 is an Edison Gold & Stock Telegraph Co. ticker tape machine. When properly powered and stocked with tape, it will print newly generated alphanumeric messages of varying content, even if disconnected from a telegram wire and blocked off from electromagnetic signals of any kind. The Foundation has not yet discovered a method to influence which messages SCP-3072 produces. SCP-3072's messages seemingly originate from an irate business shareholder and are invariably advice or direct orders on what the operators of their invested business should do to increase the value of shareholder investment. SCP-3072, if provided enough ticker tape, outputs an average of 441 printed messages in a day, though the frequency of messages is highest on weekdays, between 9 AM and 5 PM in the local time of wherever SCP-3072 is currently located. Testing of SCP-3072 outside the jurisdictions of current legal time zones has not been initiated due to ███ █████ ██████ ██ ████████ ██████ ██████████. Examples of SCP-3072 messages: Non-redacted examples of SCP-3072 messages and a more detailed description are available to qualified personnel. In the event of the emergency level specified in the Special Containment Procedures, all personnel may access this information in the Extraordinary Special Containment Procedures at ESCP-3072.

SCP-3073 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3073 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3073 is to be kept in a soundproofed containment cell furnished with 1 standard sitting stool as well as 5 folding chairs set up in such a way that SCP-3073 can "present" from the stool to any audience members in the chairs. The room is to be equipped with lights capable of being dimmed by a simple, handheld remote, which will be given to SCP-3073 for it to use at its own discretion. To ensure the utmost cooperation from SCP-3073, 5 on site personnel, selected at random, are to sit in as audience members for SCP-3073's performances. At least one researcher must be present for each performance to document any new instances of SCP-3073-1. For their own safety, and for SCP-3073's, all audience members are expected to use proper theater etiquette during performances. D-Class personnel are not to be selected as audience members. See Incident-3073. Description: SCP-3073 is a male of European descent with long, red hair, and attire that is similar to that of most modern day orchestra conductors. Where its face should be, SCP-3073 instead has a miniature theatrical stage. At most times of the day, this stage is completely hidden by SCP-3073's hair, which acts as a stage curtain. SCP-3073 is fully capable of speech and has demonstrated that it can see, despite its lack of a mouth and eyes. SCP-3073 appears to be fluent in many languages but seems to prefer using English, French, German, and Italian. The only time when SCP-3073's stage is visible is when SCP-3073-1 manifests, at which point SCP-3073 will part its hair. When questioned about its age, SCP-3073 stated it is "as old as the stage itself". SCP-3073-1 manifests as a cast of miniature humanoids who will begin performing a certain type of live theater on SCP-3073's stage. SCP-3073-1 has been observed performing plays, operas, symphonies and, on one occasion, something one researcher described as a "Penn & Teller-esque magic show". SCP-3073 has shown to be very affectionate towards SCP-3073-1, referring to them as its "little friends". SCP-3073 becomes much more amiable and cooperative after SCP-3073-1 has had a live audience to perform for. Upon questioning about the number of entities that make up SCP-3073-1, SCP-3073 stated it currently has 113 performers. Strangely, despite SCP-3073's passion for, and extensive knowledge of music and the performing arts, SCP-3073-1's performances are of objectively poor quality, as if most of the cast have little to no experience. Many members of SCP-3073-1 display extreme stage fright, terrible acting skills, and constantly forget lines during plays. Operas are sung off-key, and symphonies have been described as "an earsplitting cacophony". SCP-3073 itself never brings up the quality of SCP-3073-1's performances and becomes evasive when questioned. Should proper theater etiquette be broken during a performance, such as if an audience member begins talking or booing, all onstage cast members will stop their performance and stare at the offending individual. Should the audience member continue to ignore proper theater etiquette, SCP-3073 will become confrontational and request that the offender leave. If SCP-3073's request is ignored, it will attempt to forcefully remove the audience member. Incident-3073: During a performance of "Othello", SCP-3073 tackled D-8692, a particularly ill-mannered audience member. The ensuing fight was quickly broken up by the four other audience members, but not before an instance of SCP-3073-1 was grabbed and killed by D-8692. SCP-3073 became distraught and all performances by SCP-3073-1 ceased. All attempts to communicate with SCP-3073 at this time were unsuccessful. Two days after the fight, D-8692 suddenly disappeared from his holding cell, at around the same time, SCP-3073-1 began performances again. When questioned, SCP-3073 cheerfully responded “We got a new cast member!” ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3073" by SatisfiedShark, from the SCP Wiki.

Item #: SCP-3074 Special Containment Procedures: Foundation personnel are to work with the Ukrainian government to ensure that the building containing SCP-3074-A remains isolated and under quarantine. Entry into this building requires a minimum of Level-3 clearance. Description: SCP-3074 is the Izotova Parking Center, an underground car park located beneath an office building in Pripyat, Ukraine.1 There are no records of its existence until its discovery by the Foundation in 1988. SCP-3074-A is a freight elevator used to access the first floor of SCP-3074. Pressing its only button will lower the elevator into SCP-3074. At this point, it becomes impossible to locate its occupants via GPS signal. Communication via cellphone and radio are possible, but unreliable. As of now, no means of entering SCP-3074 outside of the operation of SCP-3074-A has been found. In addition, SCP-3074-A will not return to the surface until it is completely empty and its doors are shut. Efforts to devise a method of safely leaving SCP-3074 (either via SCP-3074-A or via alternative means) are underway. An instance of SCP-3074-B. SCP-3074-B instances are electronic kiosks stationed on every floor. Each kiosk includes a phone receiver, a keypad, an LCD screen, a coin slot, a card slot, a printer, and instructions.2 When the phone receiver is lifted, an internal line will ring three times; it will then be answered by SCP-3074-C. SCP-3074-C is the voice of an unidentified entity. An investigation to determine its nature and whereabouts is currently underway. One floor of SCP-3074 is 0.72-hectares (1.8 acres) in area, and contains 215 parking spaces. On the first floor, a ramp on the north end leads down to the next level. Each successive level has two ramps (one going down, one going up). Every level after the first shows increasing signs of decay and dysfunction, including broken light fixtures, inoperable SCP-3074-B instances, and barricades constructed of abandoned vehicles. These barricades are typically found obstructing ramps leading down. Although efforts are ongoing to determine the amount of levels below SCP-3074's first floor, evidence suggests the number is well above 100.

Continue Back to Front Page Item #: SCP-3075 Special Containment Procedures: Households and orphanages affected by SCP-3075 remain under clandestine surveillance indefinitely. MTF Tau-70 (“Sun Bathers”) are on standby to recover SCP-3075-A instances should previously undocumented anomalous activity be observed, at the discretion of Site-49 Command. UPDATE (24.08.2023): Specimen ZQ-457, which is stored in Class III biocontainment at Site-86, is now provisionally a constituent object of SCP-3075. As part of recovery efforts, the search for similar instances in Nordfriesland and Schleswig-Flensburg is ongoing. UPDATE (09.12.2026): The containment revision of 24.08.2023 is hereby obsolete (see Addendum 3075-19). Description: SCP-3075 is a statistical discrepancy concerning the number of births in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. The anomaly was first noted by government statisticians during the European Union census of 2021; 468 more children (designated SCP-3075-A) between the ages of four and nine were reported in predominantly coastal communities in the district of Nordfriesland than could be accounted for in any way. In all cases, birth certification was absent and no other evidence of birth was found. Persons directly affected by SCP-3075 could not provide meaningful information regarding the circumstances of the appearance of SCP-3075-A and fail to express suspicion regarding SCP-3075-A in general. The unusual and unexpected size of the discrepancy prompted a federal investigation that was unable to identify the cause of the anomaly; the case was handed to the Foundation by July of 2023. SCP-3075-A are physiologically and biologically indistinguishable from human children. However, instances exhibit difficulty with the comprehension and communication of complex abstract ideas. SCP-3075-A also exhibit poor facial and body language comprehension. The possibility that SCP-3075-A produce a memetic effect obscuring true anatomical characteristics has not been ruled out. Persons that regularly interact with SCP-3075-A tend to behave in an excessively agreeable manner and, in the case of psychologically mature individuals, exhibit a high degree of sexual assertiveness. This may be linked to persistently high levels of both serotonin and dopamine in affected individuals. Specimen ZQ-457 is the cadaver of a humanoid entity of unknown provenance, discovered on 04.07.2021 (one month before the undertaking of the census) in the outskirts of a truck stop near Silberstedt, a town less than five kilometres outside Nordfriesland. The circumstances surrounding the specimen’s discovery and autopsy results led to the provisional reclassification of the object. The current focus of investigation is establishing a definitive connection between SCP-3075-A and ZQ-457. Specimen ZQ-457 Autopsy Report Close Autopsy of Specimen ZQ-457 Date, Time & Location of Examination: 08.07.2021, 09:45 CEST, Site-86 Operation Suite D Conducted by: Dr. E. Kampf, Site-86 medical examiner; assisted by mortuary technician R. Penning Examination Summary: ZQ-457 is superficially human in appearance. The cadaver is largely covered with short brown hair, with the exception of the face, hands, and feet. The cadaver is reminiscent of a human child between the ages of four and five. Black putrefaction is evident. ZQ-457’s facial features and skull structure vaguely resemble those of a chimpanzee, with pronounced browridges and a notably narrow cranial cavity evident. The brain exhibits significant deviations from conventional biology. Complex metallic plates cover approximately 40% of the total surface area of the brain. Moreover, metallic, filament-like strands extend into the brain, with a maximum depth of 18 cm evidenced. ZQ-457 lacks a reproductive system. Furthermore, an approximately 27-week old human foetus of unclear sex was recovered from the abdominal cavity where the uterus would have been situated. The foetus was found to be covered in a polymer textile resembling a full-body bathing suit. Manner of Death: Unclear. DNA results: In comparison to H. s sapiens, ZQ-457 possesses a similarity of 99.6%. The DNA of the specimen closely corresponds with that of extinct species H. erectus. Close SCP-3075-A Surveillance Report E13 (15.09.2023) Prepared by: F. Hakim, Site-49 Surveillance Operative There is little distinction in behaviour among the 45 SCP-3075-A instances under my team’s surveillance. Instances invariably and indiscriminately exhibit a high degree of obedience, docility, and friendliness, effectively latching onto any individual with which visual contact has been established. Individuals that are the target of this affection tend to respond positively, especially with increasing exposure. However, even where a negative response is observed, SCP-3075-A do not deviate from their established behaviour. Operation LT05 Interview Log 3075-903 Close Interview Log 3075-903 Location: ██ █████ Orphanage Date and time: 07.01.2024, 12:35 CET Interviewer: D. Marion, SCP-3075 Field Agent Interviewee: SCP-3075-A-57 (referred to informally as Mira) Other presiding individuals (at Site-49 Command): A. Kaminski, SCP-3075 Project Head; G. Naga, SCP-3075 Chief Researcher Foreword: 3075-A-57 is the most successful target of Operation LT05 to date, with Agent Marion able to establish a rapport with the instance within two days of initial contact. Agent Marion was instructed to question the instance regarding its past, prior to formal identification. The agent was fitted with a hidden body camera transmitting a live feed to Site-49 Command. Voice communications, linking the agent and Researcher Naga, were also established to allow further instruction. <Begin Log> <Extraneous information omitted> Agent Marion (AM): Are you comfy, Mira? SCP-3075-A-57 nods and smiles at the agent. The instance holds a toy car, with which it interacts. AM: Alright. This is just a short little talk, and then you can go outside, ok? The instance nods again and continues to smile. AM: Ok. Now, what’s the earliest thing you can remember? Take your time, Mira. At this stage, A-57 ceases smiling. Instead, the instance is facially inexpressive and stares at a point off-camera. The instance continuous interacting with the toy. AM: Mira? Is everything alright? A-57 does not react. Project Head Kaminski (PHK): I take it this is unexpected behaviour? Chief Researcher Naga (CRN): Yes. I’ve never seen this reaction before. I don’t know what could be causing it… perhaps fatigue. It isn’t usually very taciturn. How should we proceed? <Extraneous information omitted> CRN: Ok. (To AM): Please cease the current line of questioning and direct the conversation to an unrelated topic. AM: How was your day, Mira? Made any new friends? The entity ceases its previous behaviour and proceeds to vocalise. A-57: Yes. Lots and lots. Too many to count. It helps that I give lots of presents to everyone. Did you see the one I gave you? I hope you like it. <Dialogue between AM and A-57 omitted here for brevity> PHK: Odd. Well, now that she’s responsive, let’s return to the original question. <Extraneous information omitted> AM: What can you remember from before you came to live with us, Mira? Any little details would be really helpful, if you can’t remember much. A-57 is once again unresponsive. PHK: Ok, there must be a pattern here, am I right? It’s connected to the question itself. Could this be intentional, or some kind of involuntary psychological response? CRN: It’s too early to say. It might be deliberate, but I find that unlikely. The As are always cooperative, to a fault. Although there might be detectable neurological impacts worth—. PHK: What, what’s this? A-57 exhibits facial spasms and struggles to vocalise. A-57: Insim… in… sem… inse… inseminate? I… I must t—tell you. Ah… zone three… zero… one? I love y—you too much. Insemination zone three… zero… pro—procreate, proli… pro…? <End Log> Closing Statement: A-57 immediately fell silent and unresponsive. The significance of the instance’s last recorded words are unclear. CT scans and related analyses of neurology conducted on A-57 and three other instances while the aforementioned behaviour was exhibited failed to return unusual results. No cause for the anomalous behaviour could be identified, and no useful information could be extracted from the 3075-A instances in the context of Operation LT05. Close Operation OR12 Executive Brief Close Tidal flats near █████, a setting of alternate memories according to a subset of subjects OR12 Executive Brief Duration: 15.02.2024 – 28.02.2024 Mission Statement: The exploration of the possibility of mental tampering in individuals linked to the appearance of SCP-3075-A instances, including the identification of obscured and engineered memories and memory cavities. Methodology: 15 preselected subjects from different households and orphanages affected by SCP-3075 were subjected to a two-week regime involving conditioning for increased suggestibility, mnestic therapy, and pre- and post-therapy interviews. Results: In all subjects, declarative memories occurring after 24.06.2021 are accompanied by parallel memories concerning the subject, alone, engaged in a variety of activities on various sand beaches and tidal flats located within the district. Although not corresponding to activities documented in reality, and inspiring no concern from the subjects themselves, these memories do not display traditional signs suggestive of a synthetic origin. One set of memories show a high degree of contextual convergence among subjects. These memories involve the subjects receiving intelligible information in an unclear form from an unidentified source. Recitation demonstrates a similarity of 90% among subjects (see appended document). Reconstituted Memory Fragment OR12-95776 <Note: Sections in braces ({}) denote observed variations in the account of content among the individuals.> Hi. I saw you. Yesterday, at the beach. I was on the edge, by the rocks. You looked at me for 0.03567 seconds. I looked at you for longer. 1.43892 seconds – enough to see everything. Skin so soft and clean. Like melting soap. Bones so white and strong. Fingers so slick. And your head. Gently {pulsating} {quivering} crown. The {curve at the base of your skull} {subtle dent in your temples} – something otherworldly. Your brain. The perfect jewel in the perfect fluid. I can only imagine. What is it like? To be you? Come and meet me. By the beach. I’ll be waiting. I’ve burrowed deep. Stared at your fresh, warm heart. It’s time you stared at mine. We should see the {sunset} {sunrise} together. Close Addendum 3075-19 (09.12.2026): In light of the current absence of meaningful investigation regarding SCP-3075, Specimen ZQ-457 now ceases to be an associated object of SCP-3075. Following a review of SCP-3075 and its associated properties, and with the recommendation of the Ethics Committee, neither SCP-3075-A nor associated persons are to be subject to in-site containment. Furthermore, the object class has been revised from Euclid to Safe. —Director of Site-49, J. Havel SCP-3075-A Surveillance Report C236 (15.09.2042) Prepared by: E. Fowler, Site-49 Surveillance Unit Operative There are currently 38 3075-A instances under my observation. All may be described as well-adjusted and possess a broad range of social ties within their respective communities. All but three instances possess an active sexual life, with multiple partners and a mean average of 3.5 offspring per instance. This fertility rate corresponds with those documented by most of my colleagues, and are higher than the national average. The offspring in question are behaviourally similar to their non-3075-A parent, exhibiting relatively little of the comprehension and communication issues that are, to an extent, still present in 3075-A instances. Incident 3075-12: At approximately 02:27 CEST on 17.09.2042, all surveillance infrastructure in SCP-3075-affected domiciles permanently failed without warning. Upon establishing direct contact, all SCP-3075-A instances, as well as their offspring, were reported missing. Recovery is ongoing. SCP-3075-A Video Log VC425 Close Video Log 3075-VC425 (02:23 – 02:27 CEST, 17.09.2042) The following was documented several minutes prior to the spontaneous failure of all surveillance infrastructure at the home of SCP-3075-A-252. <Begin Log> The first floor bathroom, in darkness, is viewed from the south-east corner of the room. At 02:23, A-252 enters the room and switches on the lights. The instance moves towards the sink and looks directly at the lens through the mirror in front of it. At 02:25, A-252 begins vocalising. A-252: Thank you. It was a beautiful. That moving sun. I wouldn’t have had it any other way. You are so perfect. The instance pauses and smiles. At 02:27, the instance begins to vocalise again. A-252: Now you know me. What do you think? Am I as perfect as you? <End Log> Closing Statement: MTF Tau-70 were dispatched to the domicile and confirmed the disappearance of A-252 as well as the instance’s five children. The instance’s spouse was found at the scene, unharmed and unaware of the transpired events. The body of a biologically sexless human child between the ages of four and five was discovered 100 metres from the domicile. An autopsy report revealed the presence of a 27-week old foetus in the abdominal cavity. This foetus is of approximate human origin, but possesses notable genetic and anatomic deviations.

SCP-3076 | euclid | SCP-3076 Item #: SCP-3076 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3076 is to be contained in a dedicated aviary at Site-104. It is to be fed twice daily and provided new forms of simple entertainment monthly. Visual contact with SCP-3076 is to be limited to an absolute minimum. Outside of testing, no personnel are allowed entry to the containment chamber. Test subjects must be confined to a cell or containment chamber to prevent the possible spread of infection. It is recommended that test subjects in the tertiary stage of SCP-3076-A be terminated, and all related materials destroyed. Any contact between SCP-3076 and computer systems is strictly prohibited. Description: SCP-3076 is an albino black-billed magpie (Pica hudsonia).1 It is abnormally intelligent, expressing an understanding of written language, though it is unable to understand most verbal communication. It is estimated that SCP-3076 has the mental capacity of a ten-year-old human being. SCP-3076 is capable of deceptive behavior, such as feigning illness or ignorance, and possesses extremely long-term recall. SCP-3076 may use these skills in attempts to escape containment unless properly cared for. When directly viewing SCP-3076, all sapient beings analytical systems will feel the compulsion to produce some type of artistic expression. This is the first stage of the SCP-3076 cognitive infection (SCP-3076-A). Those with a preexisting disposition toward one form or medium will feel compelled to more strongly pursue these prior tendencies. Those with no previous experience with artistic expression appear to select a random art form to pursue. SCP-3076 is only able to produce this effect after several aggregated hours of viewing, though the precise number varies from subject to subject. It is also possible to transfer the effect through other sensory means, especially if the subject is blind, though the time required for infection to occur is much higher. Note that this stage of the infection is reversible if contact between SCP-3076 and the subject is terminated. To date, no subjects have expressed satisfaction with their work and will continue to produce art in an attempt to improve. After approximately two weeks, SCP-3076-A enters its secondary stage, and no action short of induced coma will reverse the effects. Subjects in this stage of infection will improve at a normal rate, considering heightened resolve and enthusiasm. Over time, subjects will continue to devote more and more time to the pursuit of their art form. Without outside intervention, about 80% of subjects expire due to thirst or starvation, as most affected individuals forego basic needs in the pursuit of their art form. The SCP-3076-A enters its tertiary stage approximately 13 months after initial exposure. Subjects will begin to produce anomalous artwork, most commonly bearing cognitohazardous material. It is unconfirmed whether the SCP-3076-A is able to spread via these works. Addendum 3076-1: Recovery SCP-3076 was found after Incident 3066-5, in the forests of Linville Gorge, North Carolina. It was initially collected by Foundation operatives as a part of the reconstruction operation after Incident 3066-5, and its anomalous properties were discovered after many of the personnel involved with its recovery began to neglect their professional duties. Upon confirmation of its anomalous properties, SCP-3076 was moved to Site-104 for containment and further study. Addendum 3076-2: Sample Test Log The following is an incomplete log of SCP-3076 testing to highlight noteworthy findings. +Show test logs - Hide logs Test #: 5 Subject: D-461923 (Note: before incarceration, D-461923 was a mural artist) Description: D-461923 was made to spend 2 full days in the presence of SCP-3076 before being removed from the containment chamber. Even before removal, D-461923 repeatedly requested access to painting materials and began using the foliage within the containment chamber as a pigment to paint the walls. Notably, SCP-3076 attempted to aid D-461923 in her work on several occasions. Upon removal, the subject was provided with intravenous hydration and parenteral nutrition to ensure survival and then provided with the requested materials. Against administrative recommendation, D-461923 was allowed to work on the walls of Site-104 facilities, covering 74% of the accessible surfaces on the site with murals of varying subject matter. 103 days after initial exposure, D-461923 produced a cognitohazardous piece covering one of the exterior walls of the main research complex. Viewing the piece would cause rapid memory loss and dementia-like symptoms, though D-461923 herself was immune to the effect. The test subject was immediately terminated and all contaminated surfaces were destroyed. This has been an extremely expensive misjudgment on the part of the research staff. I’ll see to it that those responsible are held accountable. –Site Director ███████ Test #: 7 Subject: A non-anomalous African Bush Elephant (Loxodonta africana) Description: The subject was made to spend 2 full days in the presence of SCP-3076 before being removed from the containment chamber. 23 hours after removal, the subject became agitated and paced around its holding pen, before using its drinking water to produce seemingly random splash patterns on the ground. The subject was provided with simple painting materials and began teaching itself how to use them. 40 days after initial exposure, the subject was consistently producing recognizable images of elephants and had stopped actively seeking food. A modified intravenous nutritional system was provided and testing continued. 57 days later, the subject was able to produce photo-realistic representations of its surroundings. 120 days after initial exposure, test supervisors reported unusual headaches and nosebleeds while observing the subject in the process of painting. The test subject was preemptively terminated and all accumulated works were incinerated. Test #: 10 Subject: SCP-3076 Description: SCP-3076 was placed in a containment chamber fitted with wall-spanning mirrors. 7 days were allowed to pass. No changes in the behavior of SCP-3076 were noted, beyond some curiosity of its reflection. SCP-3076 became restless after 6 days and feigned illness, causing the unscheduled termination of the test. Test #: 13 Subject: A standard Foundation desktop computer. Description: The subject was placed in the same chamber as SCP-3076, provided with a dedicated power supply, and disconnected from the Foundation Intranet. A camera and evolutionary symphonic generation software were installed. The software was made to produce new music as quickly as it could and would use direct input from test supervisors to judge the quality of the generated compositions. After 5 days, the subject ran out of RAM and the software became ineffective. Necessary modifications were made and the test continued. 23 days after initial exposure, the subject began producing variations on the same two compositions. Believing that the program had exhausted its selection of media, a flash drive of new sound elements was supplied, as well as further improvements to the hardware. The test subject continued to underperform, despite the modifications. 24 days after initial exposure, an unknown virus was found within the Site-104 computer system. While Foundation personnel attempted to remove the threat, all speakers on site were used to produce a cognitohazardous sound. Simultaneously, the malicious program hijacked onsite communications and began transmitting itself to all Foundation sites. Site-104 was quarantined and its power cut off in time to prevent catastrophic damage, though widespread injury to onsite personnel due to the sound was sustained. During reconstruction, it was discovered that SCP-3076 had made several attempts to physically tamper with the test subject. It is believed that SCP-3076 was attempting to connect the device to the Foundation Intranet during quarantine, but was unsuccessful. We might have to run a few more tests on the intelligence of this bird. For the time being, it seems smart to keep computers away from it. We don’t want a rogue AI on our hands. –Site Director ████ Footnotes 1. It is hypothesized that SCP-3025 may originate from SCP-3076, though the comparison of genetic material between the two objects has proven inconclusive due to biological degradation and the limited sample size of SCP-3025. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3076" by Bentu, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3077 | safe | Item #: SCP-3077 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3077 is to be kept in secured cryogenic storage units at Site-81 when not in use. Any and all storage units used to hold or transport SCP-3077 must be filled to maximum capacity to prevent the accidental emergence of SCP-3077-1. Instances of SCP-3077-1 and -2 may only be created with permission from SCP-3077’s head researcher. Said instances may only be created within a hermetically sealed and fully secured test chamber, and must either be destroyed via incineration or returned to cryogenic storage once testing is concluded. Description: SCP-3077 refers to a quantity of nearly 2280 liters of black treacle. It was originally found contained in ten oak barrels imprinted with the label "Tillie's Terrifically Ticklish and Tremendously Thaumaturgical Treacle!". SCP-3077's primary anomalous property is that it is animate, and unless confined to a suitably small space or kept at cryogenic temperatures, the main body of SCP-3077 will split off into numerous instances of SCP-3077-1. Instances of SCP-3077-1 are coagulated masses of SCP-3077 that resemble gaunt humanoids missing their lower extremities. Though size varies significantly, instances are on average 1.0 meters in height and composed of 7-8 liters of SCP-3077. Instances are capable of producing crude vocalizations though are incapable of speech. Individual instances of SCP-3077-1 typically possess orifices upon the head to approximate facial features, however the size, shape, position and number of these orifices varies between instances. Instances are often deformed in some manner, common deformities including collapsed skulls and disproportionate body parts, with nearly a third of all instances being conjoined at various points of the body. Instances of SCP-3077-1 will drag themselves around aimlessly until encountering human life, at which point they will swarm any humans present and attempt to enter their mouths. Since instances do not possess anomalous strength or durability, it is possible for initial assaults to be fended off. However, SCP-3077-1 instances can only be effectively terminated by exposure to temperatures in excess of 176 degrees Celsius. If destroyed by brute force, SCP-3077-1 will immediately reconstitute into new instances and resume its assault. Tests with D-class have shown that SCP-3077-1 will maintain their assault indefinitely until victims are too exhausted to defend themselves. Once SCP-3077-1 has entered the mouth of its victim, it will override their central nervous systems via yet undetermined means and control them in a jerky, puppet-like manner. At this point the victim is classified as SCP-3077-2. EEG readings indicate that instances of SCP-3077-2 remain fully conscious. Tendrils of SCP-3077 will typically emerge from the mouth and run across the instances' face along random paths, with subcutaneous tendrils often being visible throughout the body. Upon finding humans unaffected by SCP-3077-1, instances of SCP-3077-2 will put on a performance to the best of its ability, dancing about in an uncoordinated manner and producing hoarse, incoherent songs from its throat. The performance will continue until either the audience is out of sight or the instance expires. Instances of SCP-3077-2 can live for several days before dying of dehydration. Instances will not consume food or drink of their own accord, but can be kept alive indefinitely if restrained and provided with an IV drip or force fed. Upon expiration, the instance of SCP-3077-1 will abandon its host and seek a new victim. Recovery: SCP-3077 was acquired by the Foundation after an anonymous phone call indicated the presence of GoI-233 (Herman Fuller's Circus of the Disquieting) in ██████████ County, Indiana. Mobile Task Force Kappa 14 "AH! Sideshow Bob!" was dispatched and upon arrival discovered the barrels originally containing SCP-3077, a mound of 40 burned corpses (all determined to have been previous instances of SCP-3077-2) and a woman designated PoI-3077-01. Upon recovery, PoI-3077-01 was bound, gagged, and blindfolded. Below is the preliminary interview with PoI-3077-01 and MTF Kappa 14, recovered from the commander’s bodycam. <Begin Log> Commander: Christ, this one's alive. Miss? Miss, can you hear me? (PoI-3077-01 nods and vocalizes emphatically) Good. I’m going to untie you, is that all right? (PoI-3077-01 nods again, and the commander proceeds to undo her bindings. Upon doing so, he uncovers Document 3077-01) PoI-3077-01: Oh my God, thank you so much. I thought I was going to die out here. Commander: Miss, can you tell me what happened to you, or to those bodies? PoI-3077-01: Are you cops? You look like a S.W.A.T. team or something. Commander: Who we are isn't important at the moment. We're here because we got a tip that Herman Fuller's Circus was in the area, and judging by your… colourful apparel, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you weren't just some unlucky guest who walked in on them milking the Clowns. Am I wrong? PoI-3077-01: (Hesitates briefly) Okay, yes, I was with the Circus; but I’m pretty sure I’m out of a gig now. My name is Saccharina Sweet, and I’m a Carnival Confectionarian. I made magic candy for them, but they tied me up and left me out here in the middle of nowhere so screw 'em. (Visibly upset) They killed my babies, burned them alive with me lying here helpless! I'll tell you anything you want to know if you promise I'll be free to go afterwards. Commander: It’s not my call to decide what happens to you Miss, but I am going to get you somewhere you’ll be safe. If you can tell us what happened here it would help us out a lot, and might make the eggheads more inclined to go easy on you. PoI-3077-01: Fair enough. I can do that. I guess it started a few months ago when I was studying the Thaumaturgical Treacle and reading over my Nana's old Book of Shadows to try to come up with some new recipes, and I realized that with a few simple modifications I could turn the treacle into Sugar Golems. I thought they’d be gooey little people, singing and dancing for the crowds. They’d be a huge hit and I might be able to move myself up the Circus’s pecking order. So I pitched my idea to Icky… Commander: Who’s Icky? PoI-3077-01: She’s the Ringmaster now. She and the upside down face guy are in charge. Don’t ask me what happened to Fuller, I don’t know. That was before my time and no one seems to want to talk about. Agent Nunez: Yeah, in the interviews I read one of the Circus’s former stars mentioned a female Ringmaster. Said she was hot. PoI-3077-01: She’s a Clown. Clown with a capital C, as in not human. You into that? Agent Nunez: I hate Clowns. Commander: Nunez, do your job. Miss, please continue your story. PoI-3077-01: So I pitched my idea to Icky, and she loved it, except that she renamed them to Sugar Babies. She got me everything I needed and I got straight to work. I succeeded in making the golems, but they weren’t quite as I envisioned them. Hell, they were horrifying, but everything in that Circus is horrifying so no one seemed to care. PoI-3077-01: They were too deformed to sing and dance, but they kept trying because they knew that’s what I wanted them to do. I felt so bad, like a god who had made their creation too frail to live up to their divine standards. PoI-3077-01: Icky decided that because they were so small and slippery we should do an acrobatics and gymnastics routine, and because they could be torn apart and put back together we could incorporate some dark slapstick humour into the act. I went along with it and worked with the trainers and performers, even though everything had strayed so far from my original vision. PoI-3077-01: Everything progressed smoothly and eventually it was our opening night; Saccharina Sweet’s Sensationally Sublime Sugar Babies! They love alliteration at the Circus. Anyway, we were in the ring, the spotlight was on us, but they wouldn't perform. My golems, my babies, they just sat there, staring out at the audience. Then all hell broke loose. PoI-3077-01: They scattered into the audience, leaping into their mouths and forcing themselves down their throats, controlling them from the inside like meat puppets. Even though they aren't that strong they can be quick when they want, and they targeted the most vulnerable members of the audience, including little kids. They had never done anything like that before, I was dumbfounded. Commander: Crap, is that what these bodies are? Did you all hear that? These bodies are Level 4 anomalous bio-hazards! Bag and tag accordingly, full hazmat handling protocols in effect! Same goes for those barrels! Agent Zelenski: Yes sir! Commander: Please continue Miss. PoI-3077-01: Manny, the upside down face guy, he tried to intervene and one went inside his mouth too, except that one came flying back out screaming. Whatever’s behind that inverted face, it’s gotta be pretty messed up. The audience fled in terror except for the ones my babies got, and they used their new bodies to sing and dance for me, like I had always wanted them to. PoI-3077-01: Icky completely lost her shit. She’s normally manically happy, but when she’s mad all that energy is turned into rage. She lifted me up by my throat, she’s a lot stronger than she looks, and started strangling me. She called me a traitor, accused me of planning this all along, said that I had murdered their guests, that my golems had tried to kill Manny and that they could have killed her girlfriend or the rest of her family and she just kept ranting until I passed out. Commander: She tried to kill you? Why do you think she let you go? PoI-3077-01: I don’t know why she didn’t kill me. Maybe Manny stopped her. I heard him say once that freaks shouldn't kill freaks when there's a whole world of people with torches and pitchforks ready to do it for us. PoI-3077-01: When I came to I was already tied up and he was carrying me. I think we went through the Kaleidoscope, but I was blindfolded so I’m not sure. He set me on the ground next to my babies' burning corpses. I asked him what he was going to do with me but he didn't answer. The only thing he said to me the whole time was 'Sorry kid, but if it's any consolation this wasn't even the worst opening night I've seen,'. PoI-3077-01: What are you going to do with me? Commander: For now we’re going to give you some food and any medical care you need, then take you to our nearest holding facility. Just do what they say, answer all their questions, and maybe you’ll see the outside of those walls someday. PoI-3077-01: Okay. Right now, all I want is to get away from the stench of these bodies. PoI-3077-01: I never could stand the smell of burning sugar. <End Log> PoI-3077-01 is currently being held at Site-81 as a person of interest regarding both SCP-3077 and GoI-233. Testing has confirmed that instances of SCP-3077-1 do not attack PoI-3077-01, and instances of SCP-3077-2 appear to congregate around her when she is present. However, she does not appear to possess any ability to control either. Testing has also shown that despite possessing extensive knowledge and expertise on anomalous phenomenon, PoI-3077-01 is a non-anomalous human. As such she has not been given SCP status, but is to be considered a valuable asset for both her anomalous expertise and inside knowledge of GoI-233. As she has been highly cooperative with testing and questioning, she is to be housed in a low-security residential wing with limited and supervised access to Site-81's common facilities along with standard guest privileges conditional on her continued cooperation and good behaviour. + Document 3077-01, found on PoI-3077-01 during initial recovery. - Document 3077-01 Dear Essie Kindly accept this gift of 10 sixty-gallon barrels of only slightly accursed treacle for your collection (a splendid addition to any syrup cellar), as a token of our appreciation for disposing of the accompanying mound of smouldering, golem infested carcases, and the treacherous witch who made them. Do not believe the witch's lies. She will feign helplessness over her creations, but they obey her will, not her words. Do with her as you will, but don’t go too easy on her.

SCP-3078 | neutralized | Item #: SCP-3078 Special Containment Procedures: As all known SCP-3078 instances have been neutralized and long-term containment of SCP-3078 is not possible, only preventative measures are currently in place. Foundation webcrawlers are to scan the internet for criteria indicating possible SCP-3078 manifestations. Upon detection, Foundation hackers will attempt to remove all instances as fast as possible. No testing is to be performed at this time. Description: SCP-3078 designates one or more self-replicating cognitohazardous digital images. When a human being views an instance of SCP-3078, subjects will feel an intense compulsion to laugh for an indefinite amount of time. Subjects will not be able to inhale during this period, and affected subjects have expired due to suffocation in all cases. After expiration, face muscles will still retain a smile, and lungs will still move as if expelling air in short, quick bursts. Once every hour, all SCP-3078 instances will duplicate by undergoing a SCP-3078-Kahnert event, which is described below. Deleting the data of the instance from the web server it is stored on will neutralize the instance and cease its anomalous properties. Digital and physical copies of any form of instances will not display any anomalous effects. After initial manifestation of SCP-3078, the appearance of all images was reported to change 6 times prior to total neutralization. All iterations of SCP-3078 can be found below. + SCP-3078-Kahnert Events - SCP-3078-Kahnert Events SCP-3078-Kahnert events will occur once every hour, granted there is at least one SCP-3078 instance in existence. For every SCP-3078 instance in existence, one profile or user account will be created on a random public forum or social media platform capable of hosting images for other users to view.1 Account usernames are always random combinations of the numbers "69" and "420". Each account will post one instance of SCP-3078 on the website. If tags/hashtags can be applied to the post, the phrases "420", "dont do weed", and "meme" will be used. + Discovery Log - Discovery Log The first documented instance of SCP-3078 was posted to imgur.com on 2/3/2017. Since the spread of SCP-3078 is superficially similar to the spread of non-anomalous viral images, SCP-3078 did not trigger Foundation cognitohazard detection software for 15 hours. Approx. 2 hours after eventual detection, SCP-3078 was classified as Keter and containment efforts began2. As Foundation personnel could not reasonably remove all images covertly before the next SCP-3078-Kahnert event, intrusive hacking methods were approved. Shortly after, amnestics were deployed where appropriate and Foundation disinformation campaigns attributed the deaths to gas leaks and suicides. Neutralization of all instances was achieved on 2/4/2017. Casualties from SCP-3078 currently measure 3,576 civilians and 2 Foundation personnel. + Iterations of SCP-3078 - Iterations of SCP-3078 SCP-3078 on Initial Manifestation SCP-3078 1 Hour 31 Minutes from Initial Manifestation SCP-3078 3 Hours 16 Minutes from Initial Manifestation SCP-3078 6 Hours 23 Minutes from Initial Manifestation SCP-3078 7 Hours 42 Minutes from Initial Manifestation SCP-3078 13 Hours 56 Minutes from Initial Manifestation Footnotes 1.

Item #: SCP-3079 Special Containment Procedures: All copies of SCP-3079 are to be kept in a secure locker on-site. Access to these copies is limited to personnel with Level-4 clearance or higher. A Foundation-operated bot (I/O-NEWT) is to monitor internet traffic for any indication that an SCP-3079-A instance has been discovered (particularly among online communities centered around stage magic). Should non-Foundation personnel become aware of an SCP-3079-A instance, they are to be captured and amnesticized immediately. Description: SCP-3079, 300 Tricks: Stage Magic Made Easy, is a 435-page hard-back book written and self-published by Tobin Hollis.1 It contains detailed instructions for performing numerous stage tricks. The majority of these tricks involve traditional techniques such as sleight-of-hand, misdirection, and optical illusions. Instances of SCP-3079-A are instructions contained within SCP-3079 which describe methods to achieve anomalous results. These instructions are scattered throughout SCP-3079; the text itself makes no distinction between anomalous and non-anomalous entries. There are 47 such instances in total. The anomalous nature of these entries were noticed immediately prior to its publication. All copies of SCP-3079 were taken into Foundation possession; all knowledge of its existence was successfully suppressed. SCP-3079's author was taken into Foundation custody, where he remained until his death several weeks later. Addendum 3079.1: Notable Entries 3. The Impossible Fold Effect: The magician writes his name on a sheet of paper. He then asks the viewer to write her name on the opposite side of this paper. He proceeds to fold the paper several times over, before finally unfolding it to reveal that her name is now on both sides of the paper! NOTE: A diagram is provided demonstrating the complex series of folds required in order to cause this effect. While objects folded in this way undergo an anomalous process, they are not anomalous in of themselves. 37. The Mending Knot Effect: The magician produces a length of rope and a pair of cutting shears. He invites the viewer to step forward and examine both objects closely. Once she is satisfied as to their ordinary nature, the magician asks her to use the shears to cleanly cut the rope in two. Then, the magician binds both lengths together in a knot. He asks her to examine the knot, then asks her to cut the center of the knot with the shears. Upon making this final cut, the knot instantly unravels, revealing that the two lengths are now restored to one! NOTE: The method involves an anomalous type of knot able to fuse cleaved lengths of rope back together. 78. Lost and Found Effect: The magician produces a deck of cards. The viewer is invited to examine it at her leisure, then shuffle it for as long as she pleases. The magician hands her his hat and tells her to drop any card she wishes into it. He then instructs her to put the hat on her head. Once finished, the magician takes the cards, shuffles them, and cuts the deck. He asks the viewer to take a card from the top of the deck and examine it. It is the very same card she took! Furthermore, when she lifts the hat from her head, the card is gone! In its place is someone she thought she lost long ago. NOTE: The method involves a particular ordering of the deck prior to the trick, a complex shuffling technique, and a hat of sufficient size. The object that appears underneath the hat is a domesticated juvenile white male rabbit. Every instance has proven to be both genetically and physiologically identical. 143. Lost Time Effect: The magician produces a folded silk handkerchief, which he proceeds to drape and unfold across his clenched hand. When he pulls the handkerchief back, his hand is full of beautiful hyacinths! One for each birthday he has missed. NOTE: A diagram describes the necessary folds that must be performed on the handkerchief to achieve this result. Notably, the number of hyacinths produced by this effect has increased by one each year since its discovery. 215. The Magic Number Effect: The viewer is invited to think of a number between 1 and 9. The magician tells her to double this number, then add 9. Whatever number she has should now be between 11 and 27. Next, the magician tells her to take this new number and add its two digits together. If it is 13, the number is 4; if it is 15, the number is 6, and so on. The magician then reveals that he knows what number she now has: 11! She's probably grown up so much since then. NOTE: The method involves a precise set of phrases that the participant must both hear and understand. Testing has shown that when performed correctly, the participant will always end up with 11, despite the fact that this result is mathematically impossible. 301. His Final Trick Effect: The magician burns what little money he has left to publish a book before it's too late. In it, he tells her all of his tricks. He tells her how sorry he is that he left. He begs her to forgive him. He begs her to let him see her one last time. And then — like magic — she reappears. NOTE: No method for accomplishing this trick is provided. Footnotes 1.

SCP-3080 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3080 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3080-1 and -2 are to be kept in adjacent humanoid containment cells at Site-██. They are to be permitted to interact with each other under supervision for 90 minutes each day. Personnel assigned to SCP-3080 should either be aromantic or in stable romantic relationships. These personnel are to undergo weekly counseling sessions, together with their romantic partners if applicable. If any person assigned to SCP-3080 begins displaying symptoms of its effects, they are to be reassigned elsewhere. Updated Containment Procedures ██/██/2017: SCP-3080-1 is to be kept in a humanoid containment cell other than the one in which it or SCP-3080-2 was previously contained. It is to be given weekly psychiatric therapy, and is currently on suicide watch. Requests for items such as media for entertainment may be approved at the discretion of its psychiatrist. Description: SCP-3080 was the designation for several anomalous phenomena surrounding the romantic relationship between Drs. Catherine and Simon ███████, designated SCP-3080-1 and -2, respectively. They were formerly Foundation-employed researchers who declared a consensual romantic and sexual relationship with Site-██ Human Resources on ██/██/2014, and later married on ██/██/2015, shortly before the designation of SCP-3080. When separated for extended periods of time, SCP-3080-1 and -2 became increasingly desperate to interact with each other, and exhibited anomalous strength and endurance when attempting to reunite. After SCP-3080-1 and -2 declared their relationship, any person who spent a significant amount of time1 interacting with SCP-3080-1 and/or -2 exhibited consistent changes in mood and personality. Among these were an intense romantic attraction to either SCP-3080-1 or -2, and disdain for and jealousy of the other, sometimes accompanied by violent urges. The choice of one or the other was typically, but not always, consistent with the subject's prior romantic preferences; aromantic individuals apparently chose at random. While some subjects also expressed sexual attraction to SCP-3080-1 or -2, it was comparatively rare, and not believed to be correlated with the anomalous properties of SCP-3080. Likewise, SCP-3080-1 and -2 did not exhibit any anomalous strength or endurance when only prevented from engaging in sexual activity, given that they were permitted to speak with and see each other for at least 90 minutes per day. SCP-3080-1 and -2 were also the focal point of several events which, while not impossible, are generally considered very unlikely, especially given their unusual frequency. These are summarized in Document 3080-A. + Document 3080-A: Notable Events - Document 3080-A: Notable Events The following is a list of events believed to have been caused by the anomalous properties of SCP-3080. All of these events occurred before SCP-3080 was initially contained and cataloged. On ██/██/2014, shortly after SCP-3080-1 and -2 declared their relationship, a man named Peter ███████ contacted SCP-3080-2, claiming to be its long-lost twin brother. Further investigation has proven that Mr. ███████ was indeed who he claimed to be. After a relatively short time, he began making romantic and sexual advances on SCP-3080-1, whose refusals did not deter him. Eventually, SCP-3080-1 filed a restraining order on Mr. ███████; he later died in an automotive accident shortly after having explicitly written SCP-3080-1 and -2 out of his will. It was later discovered that Peter ███████ had a net worth in excess of $100 million USD. Two months after the above incident, one Taryn W█████, a college roommate of SCP-3080-1, began expressing romantic interest in SCP-3080-2 and quickly cut off all contact with SCP-3080-1. It was soon discovered that Ms. W█████ had begun stalking SCP-3080-2 with a camera, taking several hundreds of pictures of it without its knowledge or consent. She was arrested and later tried and found guilty of one count of felony stalking. On ██/██/2015, SCP-3080-1 was kidnapped while shopping at a local grocery store. The kidnapper requested ten love letters from SCP-3080-2, delivered via dead drop on ten separate occasions, as ransom. SCP-3080-2 initially complied, but SCP-3080-1 managed to subdue the kidnapper, one Arnold H████████, and turn him over to local authorities. Mr. H████████ had previously been a coworker of SCP-3080-2 at Site-██. Notably, he was believed to be heterosexual and heteroromantic, but still expressed interest in SCP-3080-2 over -1. He was amnesticized in accordance with protocol, then turned over to local authorities. SCP-3080-1 was unharmed. On ██/██/2015, SCP-3080-1 and -2 were married at ████████ Lutheran Church in [REDACTED]. During the ceremony, Peter ███████ entered the church with a shotgun and ordered the priest and wedding party to stop the ceremony. They complied, and he described how he had faked his own death, then went on to describe his romantic feelings for SCP-3080-1 in great detail. Due to SCP-3080-1 and -2's employment as researchers, several Foundation agents were in attendance; they subdued Mr. ███████ with no harm to any civilians or Foundation personnel. The ceremony was then completed without further incident. After SCP-3080-1 and -2's honeymoon, they recommended that their relationship be classified as an SCP object. This recommendation was accepted by the Site Director and O5 Council on ██/██/2015. + Interview Log 3080-Alpha - Interview Log 3080-Alpha Interviewer: Dr. O████, a researcher who had been assigned to SCP-3080 for several months Subject: SCP-3080-1 Extraneous material has been redacted. [BEGIN LOG 11:45:31 ██/██/2017] Dr. O████: We're working under the theory that it's some kind of memetic effect. Do you remember coming into contact with any anomalous object that might have triggered one? SCP-3080-1: No. Neither Simon nor I worked with memetic anomalies. My department was dimensional, and his was biological. Dr. O████: Huh, that's right. Actually, is it possible that SCP-3080-2 came into contact with something that would make you, I don't know, produce anomalous pheromones? SCP-3080-1: Frankly, I doubt it, but maybe you'd get a different answer if you asked him. Dr. O████: I think I'll add that as a note to your file anyway. SCP-3080-1: Sounds good. Anything to let us be together in peace, right? Dr. O████: By the way, there's one more thing I should mention. SCP-3080-1: What's that? Dr. O████: Has anyone ever told you that your eyes sparkle more beautifully than the midday sun, with a blue deeper than the calmest ocean? SCP-3080-1: Oh, God damn it. [shouting] Can we get security in here? Dr. O████: Don't worry, I've switched their shifts around. We can be together in peace, just like you wanted. SCP-3080-1: I wasn't talking about you, I meant me and Simon. Dr. O████: I know you think you have to say that. Don't you worry, I'l be back before you can even say "I miss you." SCP-3080-1: What? [END LOG 11:49:08 ██/██/2017] The events immediately following this interview were recorded on surveillance footage and are described in Incident Log 3080-Aleph. + Incident Log 3080-Aleph - Incident Log 3080-Aleph The following is a transcript of relevant Site-██ surveillance footage immediately following the interview in Interview Log 3080-Alpha. [BEGIN TRANSCRIPT 11:49:09 ██/██/2017] Dr. O████ exits the interview chamber and seals the door behind him, locking SCP-3080-1 inside. He proceeds down the corridor toward SCP-3080-2's containment chamber. 45 seconds later, he reaches the containment chamber and uses his keycard to enter, then seals the cell door. SCP-3080-2 is visible inside, and is staring at a framed photo of SCP-3080-1. SCP-3080-2: Hi, do you need me for something? Dr. O████: Don't even talk to me, you son of a bitch. SCP-3080-2: Oh, God. Not again. Dr. O████ pulls the portrait out of SCP-3080-2's hands and throws it against the cell wall before seizing SCP-3080-2 by the collar and pushing it into a corner. Dr. O████: She deserves so much better than you. What did she even see in you? SCP-3080-2: Dr. O████, this isn't you, this is the anomaly talking, you've got to— Dr. O████: I know it's not your money. She made more than you! SCP-3080-2: Dr. O████, please, we love each other, just let me go. Dr. O████ produces a silenced pistol and shoots SCP-3080-2 in the chest three times. He drops SCP-3080-2 on the ground, then proceeds to violently kick it. At this time, SCP-3080-1 pries open the cell door and finds its counterpart and Dr. O████. Dr. O████: Now it can be just you and me, together forever. SCP-3080-1: Oh my God. Simon. SCP-3080-1 begins to cry and attempts to tend to SCP-3080-2's wounds. Its attempts are ineffectual. Dr. O████: Come here, beautiful, I love you. SCP-3080-1: How could you do this? I never wanted this. At this point, SCP-3080-1 is standing and facing Dr. O████, who attempts to kiss it. SCP-3080-1 screams and throws Dr. O████ at the cell wall with enough force to concuss him and break two of his ribs. [END TRANSCRIPT 11:50:54 ██/██/2017] Despite the efforts of SCP-3080-1 and Site-██ medical staff, SCP-3080-2 expired from its wounds at 11:56:14. Due to his actions under the influence of SCP-3080, Dr. O████'s Foundation employment was terminated and he was amnesticized in accordance with standard protocol. SCP-3080-1 has not exhibited any of the anomalous properties of SCP-3080 on its own, and as such SCP-3080 is considered neutralized. Following these events, SCP-3080-1 has shown symptoms of depression as well as suicidal tendencies. Its containment procedures have therefore been updated for its health and protection. Footnotes 1. This amount of time varied widely; however, the median was roughly 400 hours. Aromantic individuals, as well as those in stable romantic relationships, required more time to be affected. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3080" by CannedBread, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3081 should be checked routinely, and any notable changes documented. Civilians discovered accessing SCP-3081 are to be interrogated, amnesticized and released. Description: SCP-3081 is an irregularly shaped extradimensional space1, accessible via a dirt road in unincorporated Perkins County, South Dakota, USA. The exterior of SCP-3081 appears to be a grove of mixed deciduous trees smaller than the internal dimensions. Within, SCP-3081 is a grassy plain surrounded by thick forest similar in species to that of the outer area. Weather patterns inside SCP-3081 do not match those of the surrounding area, tending toward fair, with only intermittent light rainfall observed. Items such as tin pails and wooden stools have been found within SCP-3081 on occasion. SCP-3081 also contains 9 instances of SCP-3081-1. SCP-3081-1 are large2 organisms resembling human hands. SCP-3081-1 locomote using the thumb and index, ring and little fingers, while the middle finger acts as a head. SCP-3081-1 lack fingerprints. Genetic analysis of sampled material has revealed a 75% match to human DNA, with the remainder unknown. All instances bear skin depigmentation consistent with vitiligo. Emerging from the back of each instance is a proportionally sized human arm that extends into the treeline. Attempts to find further anatomical features, such as joints past the wrist, have been hampered by the thickness of the surrounding forest and the skittish nature of SCP-3081-1. It is unknown whether the arms have a terminus. The behavior of SCP-3081-1 is similar to that of common cattle. They display herd behavior and are generally docile unless disturbed. Though SCP-3081-1 lack mouth parts, their typical behavior pattern involves brushing the tip of the middle digit across the surface of the grass. No plant material is excised during this process. It is not known if this behavior is necessary for the survival of SCP-3081-1. The SCP-3081-1 'herd' currently numbers 4 left hands and 5 right hands. Addendum 3081-01 On 04/08/2005, it was noted during a routine entry into SCP-3081 that SCP-3081-1R-5 had formed itself into an OK gesture, while SCP-3081-1L-2 repeatedly inserted and removed its thumb from the "O". This action continued for the full length of time personnel were present in SCP-3081. (1 hour, 25 minutes.) Addendum 3081-02 On 22/05/2006, two new instances of SCP-3081-1 were noted. Both were right hands, considerably smaller than all previous instances. SCP-3081-1R-7 was malformed, possessing only a thumb, index and middle finger. Though SCP-3081-1R-6 was noted to maintain close proximity to SCP-3081-1R-5 at all times, SCP-3081-1R-7 was unable to move from where it lay. As other instances of SCP-3081-1 maintained distance from SCP-3081-1R-7, it was decided to harvest the instance for study. Initial attempts were hampered by aggression from SCP-3081-1L instances3, but on 05/06/2006, SCP-3081-1R-7 had ceased all motion, and personnel were able to complete the harvesting procedure without interference. The arm of SCP-3081-1R-7 was severed 1 meter above the wrist. Personnel reported hearing a low moan as the arm receded into the treeline. No pursuit attempt was made. Since August of 2006, 18 more new instances of SCP-3081-1 have been discovered, at a rate of 1-2 every 9 months. All but 1 have had some form of major physical abnormality, rendering them incapable of survival past a few weeks. Harvest and vivisection of these instances has fueled the Foundation's understanding of SCP-3081-1 physiology. Addendum 3081-03 On 15/11/2015, during a routine examination of SCP-3081, no instances of SCP-3081-1 could be located inside the anomaly. Drops of a viscous fluid were found in the central area of the clearing. The fluid was later identified as a slurry of skin, muscle tissue and bone, with a 74% match to human DNA. The drops were noted to describe a square, approximately 90 meters to a side. Monitoring of SCP-3081 is to continue at a reduced rate, to prevent civilian access. Addendum 3081-04 On ██/██/████, a Foundation agent discovered skin cream products marketed by Soft Hands at a Publix in Orlando, Florida. All products were seized and placed in storage. Analysis of the products reveals a composition of approximately 35% human muscle tissue. In an interview, the store manager claimed to have been contacted by a 'sales representative', and after agreeing to carry the products, a pallet of skin cream was included in their usual shipment of cosmetics. Attempts to trace the origin of the shipment have so far been unsuccessful. The product label is reproduced below.

SCP-3082 | euclid | The exterior of SCP-3082 Item #: SCP-3082 Special Containment Procedures: The suburban locale surrounding SCP-3082 and the private property associated with the anomaly itself are to remain in the Foundation's ownership, functioning as a Site-11 satellite facility. In order to more easily preserve the appearance of an unremarkable neighborhood, it is recommended that Foundation personnel inhabit residences in the vicinity of SCP-3082. The ladder granting access to SCP-3082 is to be removed when not in use. Personnel must maintain diplomatic relations with the human population of SCP-3082-1. In the interest of perpetuating goodwill, personnel are not to interfere with internal conflicts among residents of the anomaly. The population of the village designated SCP-3082-1-ϴ may request that the Foundation provide certain items. Requests for clothing, entertainment devices, and media may be fulfilled at the discretion of authorized staff. The provision of livestock, pets, tools, food, beverage, and/or other items must be approved by a Level 4 supervisor and endorsed by the village's "chief royal council".1 SCP-3082 as seen from SCP-3082-1's pocket dimension Description: SCP-3082 is a 2 m by 2 m by 2 m treehouse located in the mid-western United States. The object is made of cherry wood planks. SCP-3082 is also a 4 m by 5 m by 2.5 m maple wood treehouse cabin located in an evergreen section of SCP-3082-1. In this form, the object appears to have been constructed in the Greek revival architectural style. SCP-3082's two forms are connected by a 1 meter by 1.3 meter hatch on an interior wall of the object. The hatch serves as the access point to and from a stable, Earth-like pocket dimension containing neither large fauna nor sentient native inhabitants. This external reality is centered around SCP-3082-1. Measuring an estimated 160 km tall, SCP-3082-1 is an extreme megaflorum and arboreal organism displaying numerous traits from a large variety of identifiable plants seemingly grafted onto it. Sampling and analysis have determined that sections of SCP-3082-1 which resemble various plant species are genetically identical to non-anomalous specimens. Analysis of bark samples taken from transition areas between one plant species and another has revealed [DATA REDACTED]. Conifers (Pinophyta) and flowering deciduous trees are the most common phenotypical features in the portion of SCP-3082-1's geography that has been documented by the Foundation. Approximately 10% of documented plants are edible or bear fruit edible to humans. The most notable graft organism observed of the many that make up SCP-3082-1 is an anomalous species of pitcher plant (Nepenthes) which contains fresh water in its pitcher cups2 rather than trap fluid. Enhanced long-range photo of the ground-level geography surrounding SCP-3082-1 SCP-3082-1 appears to be the sole major vertical structure within its extradimensional space. Long-range imaging has revealed only flat terrain and decaying plant life extending out from the organism's base for at least 3000 km. Despite great altitude variation, atmospheric pressure remains largely consistent (averaging 101 kPa) throughout the pocket reality. Temperate weather patterns exist in the local vicinity of SCP-3082-1. Researchers have determined that the organism receives approximately 1300 mm of annual precipitation on average.3 Living within the pocket dimension are 74 human children of American nationality ranging from 4 to 12 years old. 73 of these subjects currently reside in a village of treehouses, henceforth designated SCP-3082-1-ϴ, located in a section of SCP-3082-1's uppermost branches. Each individual claims to have suddenly appeared on the porch of SCP-3082 after fleeing from an abusive household. Neither the children nor their possessions appear to physically age or deteriorate. Investigation has positively identified these children as the subjects of missing person reports from 1996 through modern day. SCP-3082-1-ϴ is situated approximately 120 meters from the location of SCP-3082 within the pocket reality. A series of platforms and rope bridges4 lead from the access point to the village without detour. The tree forts of SCP-3082-1-ϴ are of notably cruder construction than SCP-3082. Corroborated statements from the chronologically oldest residents of the village indicate that the object was present prior to when subjects began appearing. The residents of SCP-3082-1-ϴ are prevented from entering the access point in SCP-3082 by a reportedly glass-like barrier unobservable by human subjects age 13 and older. Two distinct political factions have arisen within SCP-3082-1-ϴ as an indirect result of Foundation interference. The presently larger camp has expressed support for research efforts toward the goal of releasing the village residents from the pocket reality. The smaller group, which calls itself the "Neverland movement", has declared opposition to the Foundation's planned resettlement of the subjects to normal reality should a viable means of cross-dimensional transportation be found. Document #3082-01: Visually aided dossier of SCP-3082 case files relevant to current research and operations. Locations Residents Other Foundation guest house Following the establishment of diplomatic relations with the governing assembly of SCP-3082-1-ϴ, residents of the village provided Foundation personnel with lodgings on the outskirts of their community. Both manned and unmanned explorations of SCP-3082-1 are directed from this location. . . . . + Level 3 clearance required - First contact encampment site First contact encampment site With an average radius of 0.8 m and an estimated depth of 3 m, the site of SCP-3082-2's encampment at the time of the Foundation's first encounter with it was a tree hollow located5 on a primary branch of SCP-3082-1. The subject6 had established a temporary base in this location less than three hours prior to when visual contact was achieved by a remotely piloted exploration drone (ID# AEXD-1348). . . . . . Rachel Jeffreys Name: Rachel Jeffreys Designation: SCP-3082-1-A Bio: Born 28 June 1986 in ████████, Iowa, Rachel Jeffreys was labeled a missing person 27 August 1996. Her father is currently receiving in-patient treatment at the ████████ rehabilitation facility. Her mother is deceased. She has 1 chronologically younger brother living in ██████, California. She is stated to be the first of the 73 village residents to have appeared in the SCP-3082-1 pocket reality. She is a retired member of the "chief royal council". Her present role within SCP-3082-1-ϴ has been described as being that of a peacekeeper and mediator. . Ahmed Sayid Name: Ahmed Sayid Designation: SCP-3082-1-B Bio: Born 2 February 1985 in █████ ██████, Michigan, Ahmed Sayid was reported missing 28 September 1996. His mother and 3 chronologically younger siblings now live in ███ █████, Michigan. His father is deceased. Ahmed is an abstaining member of the "chief royal council" of the children's village, where he wields a tiebreaker vote when necessary. His primary function in the community has been noted to be as caretaker of the younger children. . . . . . . Lucy Fujimoto Name: Lucy Fujimoto Designation: SCP-3082-1-K Bio: Born 30 June 1989 in ██████, Arizona, Lucy Fujimoto was labeled a missing person 22 November 1996. Her parents now reside in ███████, New York. She has no siblings. The role fulfilled by Lucy within SCP-3082-1-ϴ is that of a resource manager and "city planner". She holds senior membership on the "chief royal council". The majority of the village residents regard her as an informal leader of the pro-Foundation faction. . Wexley Olson Name: Wexley Olson Designation: SCP-3082-1-AR Bio: Born 18 January 1999 in █████ ████, Pennsylvania, Wexley Olson was reported missing 7 April 2005. His mother has remarried and currently lives in ██████, Tennessee. His father (Foundation ID# D-████) is deceased. He has neither siblings nor half-siblings. A junior member of the "chief royal council", Wexley is widely viewed as the ringleader of the "Neverland" faction within the village. Should Foundation personnel find themselves confronted by this subject, no aggressive action is to be taken. . + Level 3 clearance required - Aria Aria Morrison (photograph copied from missing person report) Name: Aria Morrison Designation: SCP-3082-2 Bio: Born 7 January 1984 in █████, Ohio, Aria Morrison was labeled a missing person 12 August 1996. The subject's parents are deceased. It has one younger sister by the name of Jacquelyn Morrison, also reported missing 12 August 1996, whose whereabouts are unknown.7 Corroborated statements from the chronologically oldest of the village children have indicated that SCP-3082-2 was already present in the pocket dimension when SCP-3082-1-A first arrived. It is believed that the subject acted as leader of SCP-3082-1-ϴ until a point in time approximately five months before the Foundation's discovery of SCP-3082. When questioned, SCP-3082-1-A and SCP-3082-1-B have claimed that SCP-3082-2 abandoned the village in order to [DATA REDACTED]. This subject has been designated SCP-3082-2 due to its suspected connection to the anomalous properties of SCP-3082 and SCP-3082-1. It is currently wanted for interrogation. .

I'm Wexley Olson, I was born January 18th 1999, I went missing April 7th 2005. Isn't that what you guys want to know? To find our records outside and stuff? Dr. Tracy: Oh… well, yes. It is. SCP-3082-1-AR: Great. Now fuck off. Dr. Tracy: What? SCP-3082-1-AR: I said fuck off. What are you, stupid? Dr. Tracy: I think you need to watch your language, little man. SCP-3082-1-AR: I think you need to fuck off. Leave. We don't need your fucking charity! [Dr. Tracy begins backing away.] Dr. Tracy: Okay, okay… I'm going to leave just like you want me to.

Taking place at the end of a follow-up interview with SCP-3082-1-B, it was unintentionally recorded in the log's audio feed. <Begin Log> SCP-3082-1-K: You're an idiot, Wexley! SCP-3082-1-AR: No, you are! There's no good reason to help those Foundation people kick us out! SCP-3082-1-K: They don't even have a way to get us back to the real world yet, stupid. SCP-3082-1-AR: But they're gonna make all of us leave if they find one. Why should I have to go if I don't want to, huh? Some of us are happier here! SCP-3082-1-K: Happier here? It's rickety and dangerous and half the roofs leak when it rains! Some of the kids have been toddlers for fifteen years! Why do you like this place so much? SCP-3082-1-AR: Neverland gives us everything we need without any grown-ups to tell us what to do or knock us around. You're the stupid one if you want to give that up. SCP-3082-1-K: [pauses] … Everything we need? You really think so? SCP-3082-1-AR: Yeah! SCP-3082-1-K: Then you're dumber than I thought. SCP-3082-1-AR: Am not! I'm smarter than you are, Lucy! SCP-3082-1-K: I'm older than you are. SCP-3082-1-AR: So? SCP-3082-1-K: So I was here back when we were still building the village. I was here before we had safety nets, ladders, and fences and before we figured out how to build a tree house that wouldn't fall apart if someone leaned on a bad wall. I was here before we knew where there was more food if we needed it. When did you get here, huh? SCP-3082-1-AR: 2005. SCP-3082-1-K: Yeah. After we knew what we were doing. But I was here when Ahmed fell off a bridge and broke his leg and Mary couldn't fix it because she's not a doctor like her mom! SCP-3082-1-AR: But— SCP-3082-1-K: He only acts like it doesn't still bother him, you idiot. Mary didn't fix his leg right and this place didn't fix it either. Aria prayed, and you know what happened? Nothing! Ahmed's gonna have a messed up leg for the rest of his life, you know. This place isn't magic — or if it is, it doesn't care about us. SCP-3082-1-AR: … It's still better than out there. No one gets a happy ending out there. SCP-3082-1-K: Out there, they have stuff like hospitals and fire stations and grocery stores. And happy endings? News flash — no one gets them in here either! We're not living in some stupid story book, Wexley. This place isn't Neverland. [It is at this point that SCP-3082-1-K walked away, ending the argument despite attempts from SCP-3082-1-AR to continue it.] <End Log> - Interview Log #3082-1-B-03/K/AR + Interview Log #3082-1-AR-06 - Interview Log #3082-1-AR-06 Interviewed: SCP-3082-1-AR Interviewer: Researcher Dr. Seymour Tracy Foreword: The following interaction took place in the early morning as personnel began arriving in the pocket dimension. <Begin Log> [Dr. Tracy climbs through SCP-3082's hatch to enter the pocket dimension. The sound of knocking on the tree cabin's door is heard. Other personnel begin filing through the hatch as Dr. Tracy answers the door. SCP-3082-1-AR is revealed standing on the porch outside, red-faced and tense.] Dr. Tracy: SCP— er, Wexley? What are you doing here? SCP-3082-1-AR: [quietly] … We have a problem. I… They sent me here to tell you guys. Dr. Tracy: You want our help? SCP-3082-1-AR: [loudly] We don't know yet, okay? Dr. Tracy: Okay, okay. I don't mean to pressure you. Just tell me what's wrong. SCP-3082-1-AR: It happened last night. We don't know exactly when, but it was after you guys left. Dr. Tracy: What happened, Wexley? SCP-3082-1-AR: Weird stuff, that's what. The tree grew a giant slide going from where the apples used to be down to where the cherries are. It snapped two safety nets. And it's full of splinters. Dr. Tracy: Where the apples used to be? SCP-3082-1-AR: They're kinda… not apples anymore. The fruit still looks like an apple on the outside — but it's squishy and full of cotton candy on the inside. Dr. Tracy: That's… odd. SCP-3082-1-AR: Just shut up and do something about it, okay? <End Log> Closing Statement: Sturdier safety nets have been supplied to SCP-3082-1-ϴ. Currently pending O5 approval is a proposal to equip the village with soil-less farming technology and a stock of non-perishable foods as a precautionary measure in case SCP-3082-1 ceases to provide the residents with sufficient nutrition. - Interview Log #3082-1-AR-06 + Level 4 Clearance required - Access granted Document #3082-██: Records logging interactions with SCP-3082-2. Requisition form Interview Log #3082-2-01 Log #3082-2-02 Log #3082-2-03 AEXD-1348 shortly before its final departure Item requested: s1300 Aerial Exploration Drone Reason: Replacement of lost/damaged equipment Lost/damaged equipment specifications: Aerial Exploration Drone s1300 quadcopter model with ivory finish Features: Retractable solar panel array 7-hour rechargeable power cell Camera mount (360° horizontal range, 150° z-axis motion) HD camera (on-board image enhancement and facial recognition software) Long-range radio transmitter/receiver Emergency locator beacon Affiliated project/personnel authorization: Project Galileo Mission Statement: Documentation of SCP-3082-1 on a larger scale must be performed for two reasons: To improve scientific understanding of the biology of SCP-3082-1 in order to investigate its origins. To gain a comprehensive grasp of the structure of the organism in order to facilitate human exploration and manned operations beyond SCP-3082-1-ϴ. This project's operational team has been allocated the use of 4 AEXD drones (ID# AEXD-1346 through AEXD-1349) to accomplish these goals to the best of its ability. Proof of loss: Incident Report #3082-2-A: At 14:23 local time on 14/07/2017, the operator of AEXD-1348 piloted the drone into a previously undocumented section of SCP-3082-1 during standard exploration procedures. Exploration continued normally until 14:35, when the drone encountered a tree hollow in an oak section of SCP-3082-1. This tree hollow was the second such discovered example of physiological damage to the megaflorum. Closer investigation was deemed pertinent to research operations, and so the drone operator piloted AEXD-1348 nearer to the location of interest. Upon approach, movement was observed within the hollow's interior. Continued observation led to visual contact with and positive identification of subject SCP-3082-2, Aria Morrison, at time 14:42. SCP-3082-2 appeared physically healthy and uninjured. Its attire at the time of the encounter was composed of a white T-shirt, short denim overalls, and white sneakers, all matching the description of the clothing it was last seen wearing before being labeled a missing person. The subject also seemed to be in possession of a red knapsack within its temporary base in the tree hollow. Due to close proximity, AEXD-1348 soon became noticed by the subject. SCP-3082-2's immediate reaction to the sight of the drone has been described as that of astonishment. After recovering from its initial surprise, SCP-3082-2 began waving and calling out to the AEXD unit. The drone operator was ordered not to engage with the subject as the Project Galileo team awaited the arrival of its supervisor. With AEXD-1348 at 11% battery, the operator attempted to have the drone withdraw to the nearest branch of SCP-3082-1 from which it could maintain view of the tree hollow while conserving power. At time 14:44, SCP-3082-2 displayed signs of distress at the drone's apparent retreat. It began pounding its hands against the interior of the tree hollow and making soft vocalizations which were indistinct to the AEXD unit's microphone. At time 14:45, AEXD-1348's third rotor was struck by a falling, moderately dense object later determined to have been a small watermelon. The drone subsequently flew into the lowermost branches of a maple section of SCP-3082-1. Immediately following this, there occurred rapid, targeted ivy growth in the vicinity of the drone's crash site. It is believed that this ivy became entangled in the rotors of the AEXD unit, preventing its escape. At time 14:48, AEXD-1348 experienced emergency system shutdown due to overheating detected in its flight motors. Subsequent attempts to remotely restore communications with the drone have failed. Requisition status: Denied Interviewed: SCP-3082-2 Interviewer: Project Galileo operational team (through AEXD-1348) Foreword: The following transcript logs a broadcast received from AEXD-1348 several days after Incident #3082-2-A. <Begin Log> [A blurry image of SCP-3082-2 appears. The camera lens is focusing on a blueberry plant behind the subject.] SCP-3082-2: Hello? [The camera attempts to sharpen in on the subject. The subject's facial features become recognizable but still remain out of focus. The sound of running motors joins the audio feed.] SCP-3082-2: I hope you're getting this… Um. If you can see or hear me, can you stop spinning the helicopter motor things? I, uh, took three fan blades off. But they were already kinda broken before that. [The sound of the drone's motors ceases. The subject smiles.] SCP-3082-2: You're receiving me! [laughing] Oh, this is great! [Sighing in apparent relief, the subject begins consuming blueberries stored in the front pocket of its overalls.] SCP-3082-2: Hi. [gives a small wave] My name's Aria Morrison. I've been here — in this giant tree world, I mean — for a while. There's probably a missing kid report on me back outside. It'd be from 1996. [shrugging] Yeah, I still look the same. I have some, uh, questions for you. Can you spin this gadget's blades one time for "no" and two times for "yes"? [The drone is heard activating its motors twice in quick succession.] SCP-3082-2: This is fantastic. It's so good to talk to someone other than the tree. Hey, uh, just to be sure… Are you an adult? You're not just some other kid who showed up in the village with technology from, like, 2018, right? Oh, um, say "yes" if you're a grown-up. AEXD-1348: [YES] [In an apparently celebratory mood, the subject claps its hand together.] SCP-3082-2: Are you in the village? With the kids? AEXD-1348: [YES] SCP-3082-2: Are they doing okay? Is Rachel in charge? AEXD-1348: [YES] [NO] SCP-3082-2: So… Rachel isn't in charge, but the village is alright? AEXD-1348: [YES] SCP-3082-2: Okay… Are you in charge of the village? AEXD-1348: [NO] SCP-3082-2: Alright. Are you just one person, or are you, like, with an organization? "Yes" for the first answer, "no" for the second. AEXD-1348: [NO] SCP-3082-2: Are you the government? AEXD-1348: [YES] [NO] SCP-3082-2: Um… Does that mean "kinda"? AEXD-1348: [YES] [The subject pauses, contemplating something. After several moments, it reaches for the drone and lifts it up, turning the device around to face a birch sample of SCP-3082-1. Letters, dots, and dashes, a facsimile of Morse code, are written in black and blue crayon on the birch bark.] SCP-3082-2: I couldn't find speakers anywhere on this gadget, so I figured you'd need some other way to say more than "yes" and "no". This is my version of Morse code. Run the motor forward the way you have been for a dot and run it backward for a dash. I hope you can take pictures with the camera on this thing. AEXD-1348: [YES] SCP-3082-2: You got it? AEXD-1348: [YES] SCP-3082-2: Okay. [The subject sets the drone back down and turns the camera to face it. Glancing at the cloudy sky, the subject frowns.] SCP-3082-2: I think it's going to rain soon. I'll have to put this gadget away in a little while. AEXD-1348: [DRONE IS WATERPROEF] [The subject adopts an expression of confusion.] SCP-3082-2: Drone? AEXD-1348: [GADGET] [WHAAT DID YOU DO TO IT] SCP-3082-2: Oh. So this thing's called a drone. Um… Maybe it was waterproof before, but it's… kinda beat up now. I reattached the camera by taking wires from something that didn't look as, uh, important. Lucky me, I had duct tape and a pocket knife in my bag. Since we're talking and stuff, it must've been enough to fix everything that I needed to fix. [The subject pauses.] SCP-3082-2: I really do need to put you — well, the drone — away now, but I wanna ask one more question: Who are you? AEXD-1348: [WE ARE SCP FOUNDATION] SCP-3082-2: So that's your organization's name? Hm. I've never heard of you before, but it's nice to meet you, SCP Foundation. I'll try to call again soon. <End Log> Closing Statement: The Project Galileo team has been unable to determine AEXD-1348's current location. It has been deemed likely that SCP-3082-2 removed wires from the AEXD unit's locator beacon in its repair of the drone's camera connection. Interviewed: SCP-3082-2 Interviewer: Project Galileo operational team (through AEXD-1348) Foreword: The following interaction occurred 44 hours after SCP-3082-2's prior transmission. The Project Galileo team became thoroughly well-versed in the subject's Morse code facsimile during that time as preparation. <Begin Log> [Visual feed opens on SCP-3082-2 in the branches of a willow section of SCP-3082-1.] SCP-3082-2: Hello? Are you there, SCP Foundation? AEXD-1348: [YES] [The subject laughs.] SCP-3082-2: Hah, you don't have to spell that out. Stick with the old way. It's not hard to figure out when you mean letters and when you mean "yes" or "no". AEXD-1348: [OK] SCP-3082-2: Cool. It's good to talk again. Nice, sunny weather today, so I think we'll be fine for a while. Anyway… I guess you guys found the tree house in the real world? The one that the kids here can't get into? AEXD-1348: [YES] SCP-3082-2: When did you find out about this place? AEXD-1348: [FIVE MONTHS AFTER YOU LEFT] SCP-3082-2: Since then? Huh. So… you probably know a lot about me, but I don't know much of anything about you. I have some more questions to ask. AEXD-1348: [OK] SCP-3082-2: I'm dying to know — what does "SCP" stand for? Stark, Curry, and Parker? Super Cooking Pantry? Sandy's Comic Place? [The Foundation's response is slightly delayed.] AEXD-1348: … [SECURE CONTAIN PROTECT] SCP-3082-2: Oh. Well, that's more interesting that the names I was thinking of. What does it mean? AEXD-1348: [IT IS OUR JOB] [MISSION] SCP-3082-2: Your… mission? What exactly do you guys do? AEXD-1348: [WE RESEARCH] [KEEP WORLD SAFE] [PROTECT PEOPLE FROM PARANORMAL] SCP-3082-2: The paranormal. You mean things like this place? AEXD-1348: [YES] [The subject pauses.] SCP-3082-2: … I get it. So it's like you're Area 51: the secret agency that collects sci-fi stuff and experiments on aliens. AEXD-1348: [YES] [The subject displays agitated behavior.] SCP-3082-2: Okay. Great. I, uh, think I should keep moving now. There's nothing to eat where I am, so… I'll call you later. Bye. <End Log> Interviewed: SCP-3082-2 Interviewer: Project Galileo operational team (through AEXD-1348) Foreword: The following interview took place 9 days after the previous. <Begin Log> [Visual feed opens on SCP-3082-2 in the branches of a maple section of SCP-3082-1. The subject behaves distractedly, often tugging at its hair or fiddling with its overall straps.] SCP-3082-2: Hi. AEXD-1348: [YES] SCP-3082-2: Yeah… There's not really anything I wanted to talk about. I was just feeling kinda lonely. [The subject appears lost in thought. AEXD-1348 spins its motors to reclaim the subject's attention.] SCP-3082-2: Sorry. Were you trying to say something? AEXD-1348: [WE HAVE QUESTIONS] SCP-3082-2: Ah. Of course you do. Okay, shoot. AEXD-1348: [HOW DID YOU CAPTURE DRONE] [Adopting a conflicted expression, the subject bites its lower lip nervously.] SCP-3082-2: Um… Would you believe me if I said I have magic plant powers? [The Foundation's response is delayed.] AEXD-1348: … [NO] [Hesitation is displayed by the subject.] AEXD-1348: [HOW CAPTURE DRONE] [WHY LEAVE VILLAGE] SCP-3082-2: I… Well… Do you guys share what I say? Like, with the kids in the village? Or the government or anything? AEXD-1348: [NO] [NO OTHERS KNOW WE FOUND YOU] SCP-3082-2: Is it going to, y'know, stay that way? AEXD-1348: [YES] SCP-3082-2: …Okay. I'm going to tell you guys something that I've never told anyone before. It's a long story, but someone needs to know this in case I don't, y'know, make it… Some of the other kids figured out half of it. Maybe they told you or maybe you found the police report — about my sister? AEXD-1348: [JACQUELYN] [The subject removes its backpack and holds it close to its chest. It nods its head.] SCP-3082-2: Yeah. Jackie. [Holding its backpack a little closer to itself, the subject faintly smiles.] SCP-3082-2: This was her bag. She was the one who brought duct tape when we decided to run away together. [chuckling] I used to tell her that it could fix anything — she never believed me, but she thought to bring it anyway. Silly, right? Heh… [The subject sighs.] SCP-3082-2: [taking on a softer tone of voice] I was twelve when we left, and she was seven. I know that I still look like I'm twelve, but it's been decades since then, really… Um. Before I go on, I need to tell you something that's kinda hard to believe. AEXD-1348: [OK] SCP-3082-2: My sister was special. Sometimes, when she wanted something to be true, it would actually happen — even if it was impossible. One time, I told her that our parents left us home alone on her birthday because… because there was going to be a surprise party in the park on her half-birthday. I said there'd be half a chocolate cake waiting for her in a big bouncy house. Six months later, after I'd forgotten about that, we went to the park… and it was all just like I'd described it to her. She wasn't surprised at all. Said she knew it'd be there. [The subject pauses.] SCP-3082-2: When we played in the woods, she liked to invent places. Pyramids. Jungles. Sandcastles. I would blink or look away, and suddenly they'd, um, be there. She made herself into a mermaid once. At the end of our games, I always told her that things should go back to the way they were supposed to be. And everything magical would disappear, and it'd be like nothing ever happened. Do you believe me? AEXD-1348: [YES] SCP-3082-2: Right. [frowning] You probably see weirder stuff all the time. [Silence falls.] AEXD-1348: [CONTINUE] SCP-3082-2: Oh, yeah. Sorry. I got a little distracted. What was I saying…? Right… It was after our parents had a really big fight — me and my sister ran away together. We went into the woods behind our house, where we always used to play, and we just… kept walking. After half an hour… we were scared. Scared to keep going and scared to go back. I looked away for one second… [The subject draws a shuddering breath and turns to the side, no longer facing the drone.] SCP-3082-2: I looked away. And when I looked back, she wasn't there, and I was standing on the porch of a tree fort cabin. There weren't any bridges or platforms back then. It was just me in that tree house… in a tree so big I didn't know where it started. Me. All by myself. [The subject closes its eyes.] SCP-3082-2: I'm not embarrassed to say that I cried. A lot. And I got thirsty and lonely… and I pretended that Jackie was there to listen to a bedtime story about pitcher plants full of water. The next morning, I found rope bridges and platforms going from the cabin to a… a grove place. Where the village is now. The pitcher plants were all over the place there. And there was fruit nearby. Lots of fruit. SCP-3082-2: A little while later, Rachel showed up. And then Ahmed. I told them a little bit about Jackie. Later, we figured out that more kids would keep coming, so… we started building a, uh, a place for them. You should know all the rest already. [Glancing at the branches above its head, the subject reaches up and tugs at a leaf.] SCP-3082-2: The tree does what I ask when it's feeling up to it. That's how I got this drone out of the air: I asked for it. [sighs] I still look twelve years old. My sister… she doesn't really look seven anymore. Or act the same. Not even close. She likes it too much, here in… well, Wexley calls it Neverland. I think Jackie might listen better if I get closer to the part of her that remembers, but for now… she just doesn't hear me when I say that it's time to go home. AEXD-1348: [EXPLAIN] [Shaking its head sadly, the subject begins reaching over the camera's view and toward the drone's battery. It appears unwilling to continue the conversation.] SCP-3082-2: Trees don't really think like people do. <End Log> Closing Statement: SCP-3082-2 has yet to contact the Foundation again since this interaction.

Bad idea: Doing your own oncology. ▸ More by this Author ◂ {$comments2} F.A.Q. {$doesthisfixthebug} Item #: SCP-3083 Special Containment Procedures: The orbit of the SCPS Kama has been altered to allow for easier monitoring of SCP-3083. The status of SCP-3083 is to be checked once daily, and its orientation noted if an activation event has occurred. SCP-3083-1 should always be retrieved if present, however samples of SCP-3083 need only be taken if its form is visibly altered. SCP-3083-1 instances are to be transferred to Site-22 during routine cargo exchanges with the Kama and stored in a secure locker. As SCP-3083 is too small to be observed by amateur telescopes, disinformation campaigns need only be directed at major observatories. As the number of independent sightings since containment has been miniscule, disinformation is considered a Foxtrot-Omega Priority containment task. Investigation into possible anomalous activity regarding Researcher Benich has concluded as of 14/05/2017, with negative results. Doctor Benich is not to be informed of the existence of SCP-3083. Description: SCP-3083 appears to be the severed head of Researcher Corey Benich, in geosynchronous orbit above Site-22. SCP-3083 exhibits none of the expected effects of prolonged exposure to Earth's uppermost exosphere, allowing for easy sampling of biological material from the wound. Attempts to move SCP-3083 from its position have been unsuccessful. After a period of time between 20 and 72 hours, SCP-3083 will undergo an alteration event, rotating to face a different direction.

SCP-3084 | euclid | SCP-3084 Title Card Item #: SCP-3084 Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-3084 encountered in the field are to be seized, documented, and stored within the Site-28 Secure Archives. Full screenings of SCP-3084 are permitted only to individuals assigned to activities within Plane-3084. Per established risk management protocols, personnel cleared to enter Plane-3084 for research purposes are to spend no more than eight hours within this space during any seven day period, and no more than 25 hours in any 30 day period. Medical and psychological screenings will be administered to personnel assigned to this function on a weekly basis. Description: SCP-3084 is a silent film titled Seven Strangers at a Feast. The majority of the film appears to have been made at some point in the late 1920s, however, certain elements suggest that parts of the film may have been made earlier or later than this time period. SCP-3084 has a total runtime of 2 hours and 17 minutes. Apart from an initial title placard, SCP-3084 does not feature any title cards to indicate dialogue, nor any indication that a musical score of any kind was intended. No records of the film's purported director, Jacob Nkurunziza, have been verified to exist. In approximately 40% of documented cases, persons viewing SCP-3084 in its entirety become capable of accessing a trans-physical space (designated Plane-3084) upon completion of their first viewing of the film. Within 3-5 days after the initial viewing, these subjects develop an intuitive ability to enter a trance-like state at will, and appear to vanish from observation upon achieving this state. During this time, subjects are transported through unknown means to Plane-3084. Persons entering Plane-3084 in this manner are able to return to baseline reality at will, and reappear at the same location in space upon returning. Research indicates that at least six persons have entered Plane-3084 since its creation, including two Foundation personnel. Plane-3084 is believed to have been created through anomalous means at the same time as SCP-3084. Plane-3084 is a trans-physical space closely resembling locations depicted in Seven Strangers at a Feast. Geographical features, structures, and ambient weather conditions all appear to exactly match locations that appear in the film. It is not believed that SCP-3084 was filmed within Plane-3084; rather, Plane-3084 is understood to be a place generated concurrently with the act of filming SCP-3084. SCP-3084 was first documented among the effects of George Cecil Jones (PoI #3663), collected posthumously as part of the larger monitoring efforts of Operation LAWBREAKER in the 1960s, where its anomalous traits were observed upon processing of the numerous artifacts in the Jones estate. Jones and other figures targeted in the course of LAWBREAKER are not believed to be the intended recipients of SCP-3084 copies. At least thirty copies of SCP-3084 are known to have been distributed anonymously in the 1920s in London, Paris, Brussels, Rome, and several other European cities. Most have been recovered from individuals occupying high-profile positions in business, the military, or the aristocracy, who are believed to be the intended recipients of SCP-3084 at the time. Addendum 3084.1 - Synopsis of SCP-3084 Seven Strangers at a Feast is an experimental film deviating in style and subject material from most efforts of the late silent film era. These differences include the extended running time, lack of an easily discernible story or plot, depictions of graphic violence utilizing special effects far in advance of those available at the time, and repeated use of abstract imagery. No actors in the film have yet been positively identified, indicating that SCP-3084 is an amateur production. Character names in the description below have been assigned by research staff, as no credits beyond the initial title card are present in SCP-3084. Scenes 1-8: These scenes take place in and around an isolated country house, and include several establishing shots. Five characters are introduced as they arrive at the country house, all depicted walking along a dirt road leading to the location; The Young Man, the Young Woman, the Aristocrat, the General, and the Boy. All of the characters gather at the front door of the country house. The Aristocrat and the General argue heatedly, apparently about whether to enter the house, or concerning a possible plan of action once inside the house. The Young Man, Young Woman, and Boy are silent throughout the exchange, with expressions of worry or fear throughout most scenes. Scenes 9-13: The Old Woman appears for the first time, aimlessly wandering in the interior of the country house. The scenes are dimly lit. While her face is obscured throughout the film, the Old Woman can be interpreted to be muttering to herself by her hand and head movements, and occasionally yelling in the empty house. The Old Woman pauses occasionally to look with apparent apprehension at a chest next to the unlit hearth in the middle of the house. Scene 11 Scenes 14-27: The argument between the Aristocrat and the General suddenly stops. The two men stand silently at the door to the house, while the General beckons the Boy to join them. The Boy resists and attempts to hide behind the Young Man. The Young Man appears confused and attempts to prevent the Boy from coming near him. The Young Woman suddenly flees the scene and runs into the woods surrounding the house. Scenes 28-30: Inside the country house, the Old Woman shuffles closer to the front door, appearing to dance in an erratic fashion until reaching the door, at which point she appears to start shaking uncontrollably while stretching her arms skyward. Scenes 31-43: The Young Woman runs through the now darkened woods surrounding the country house. The film quality appears to deteriorate and change during this extended sequence. The lighting of the scene grows darker and darker as the Young Woman continues to flee, her apparent terror increasing steadily. The woods are barely discernible by Scene 38, and the Young Woman begins to be beset by shapeless apparitions emerging from the darkness starting in Scene 41. By Scene 43, the Young Woman is almost entirely out of focus, only recognizable by frantic, exaggerated movements. Scenes 44-51: The Aristocrat kicks down the front door of the country house, finding the Old Woman standing in the doorway. He roughly takes hold of the Old Woman and marches her inside. The General draws his pistol and motions for the Boy to go inside the house. The Boy refuses until the General discharges a round into the air. The Boy reluctantly goes inside the house. The General apparently tells the Young Man to stand by a window looking into the house, and then goes inside himself. Scenes 52-59: This portion of the film is entirely focused on the Young Man, who stays in place, watching the action through the window the entire time. Multiple camera angles, apparently utilizing several varieties of film, some appearing to be of higher quality than should be available for the time, are utilized. The Young Man grows increasingly uncomfortable and disturbed by what he is witnessing (presumably the events depicted in Scene 60 of the film), but does not move from his spot by the window. Scene 42 Scene 60: The longest individual scene in the film. The Old Woman is forced down onto a long table in front of the hearth by the Aristocrat and the General. Her clothing, apart from the hood which continues to obscure her face, is torn away, and the two men methodically fix the Old Woman into place by driving long nails through her wrists and ankles into the table. The Boy is then made to sit and observe by the General. The Aristocrat and the General use long, thin knives to flay the Old Woman's legs, placing the skin on top of the chest next to the hearth. The skin appears to begin smoldering. The Aristocrat then opens a long incision in the Old Woman's torso. Together, the Aristocrat and the General remove several ribs, carefully cutting away tissue until the cleaned bones are placed on top of the chest as well. The bones float in place over the pile of skin, which is now apparently on fire. The General dips a vessel into the Old Woman's now-open abdominal cavity and pours several cupfuls of blood on top of the chest, causing the flames to grow substantially. The Boy, watching impassively to this point, gets up from his seat at the request of the Aristocrat. The Boy reaches into the incision in the Old Woman's torso and retrieves what appears to be a set of eyes. The eyes rise out of the Boy's palm and travel first over the Aristocrat, then the General, before descending into the pyre atop the chest. The fire stops, and the chest opens. The Guest, a charred, skeletal figure, rises from inside the chest. The Boy, the Aristocrat, and the General arrange six chairs around the table upon which the Old Woman is still fastened, and apparently still alive. The Aristocrat beckons to the window from which the Young Man is still watching, motioning for him to come inside. The Guest assumes a position at the head of the table. Scene 60 Scenes 61-63: The Young Woman continues to run frantically in darkness, finally coming upon an isolated doorway deep into the woods. As the shapeless apparitions continue to pursue, the Young Woman opens the door and hurries inside, closing it behind her. Scenes 64-68: The Young Woman appears spontaneously inside the country house, as the chairs have been arranged around the table and the Old Woman. She makes no reaction as the Aristocrat, the General, and the Young Man drape the scraps of the Old Woman's clothes onto her, and the Boy seats her at the foot of the table, opposite the Guest. The rest of the characters take their seats around the table. The Guest begins clawing at the flesh of the Old Woman with his hands, taking portions from her limbs. The flesh appears to cook while in the Guest's hands. The Guest hands portions of flesh to each character in turn around the table, each of whom devours the offering quickly. This is repeated several times. Scenes 69-74: Scene 69 suddenly cuts to a clean skeleton affixed to the table, the characters still seated around the table, save the Guest, who is absent. The Aristocrat, the General, and the Young Man stand up and leave the house. The Boy removes the hood, still present on the skull of the Old Woman, and drapes it over the unresponsive Young Woman, still seated at the opposite end of the table. Scene 74 consists of a continuous shot of the now-obscured face of the Young Woman, lasting two minutes and nineteen seconds before the film abruptly ends. Addendum 3084.2 - Research Notes, Vol. 1 Initial documentation of SCP-3084 and subsequent exploration of Plane-3084 was undertaken in 1963 by Researcher Philip Dumont. The following are relevant field notes, containing observations and data collected by Dr. Dumont during his assignment to SCP-3084. Prevailing Features of Plane-3084 (12 March 1963) - Area consists of observable terrain and traversable terrain. Observable terrain the same as that depicted in the film, which must have been shot on location. Traversable terrain is the area around the house, the house itself, and a small corridor leading into the surrounding forest. Attempts to cross into non-traversable terrain are met with a simple inability to proceed further. No feeling of a barrier, no visible indicators. You just can't go there. - Original location confirmed to be Rusizi National Park in the Kingdom of Burundi. This place is a simulacrum. Ongoing political instability is stalling inquiries, but unusual that a largely white production team making a film here would not be remarked in any records at the time. No records of Jacob Nkurunziza came up in our background search, and local authorities seemed quite insistent that they know of no such person. - No persons or in fact any detectable living organisms present. Field microscopic examination of soil and water samples turn up same. - Time does not pass in the surrounding area; the sun stays low in the sky and the local time is always 1830 hours, give or take a few minutes. Time passes normally for myself and my pocket watch. House Interior Assessment (5 May 1963) The country house at the center of Plane-3084 does not decay, but instead maintains a certain shabby quality as originally depicted in the film. No amount of force seems to be sufficient to open the chest by the hearth; tools are being requisitioned for the next visit. Unsurprisingly, one cannot light a fire in the hearth. The testimony of Duke Mechelen, who is known to have visited this place sometime in the 30s, indicates that when the humanoids corresponding to the characters of the film dwelled here, they would mostly congregate in the house, when they weren't reenacting scenes. Two other individuals suspected to have been visitors indirectly confirm this observation in documents lifted from their private records, but only Mechelen described the routine of the characters in any detail. It is unfortunate that he only visited once; whether this experience is at all tied to his supposed nervous disposition in later years is impossible to say. Before these humanoids (I hesitate to call them fully human until we can find one and examine it) left this plane for parts unknown, they were known to spend hours at a stretch all assembled in the house, standing almost perfectly still, only their eyes moving to follow visitors. Unsurprising perhaps that Mechelen did not return for a second trip. As of this time, however, no persons are to be found here. Excavation Results (17 August 1963) The work has been slow going. Normally we would have seven or eight men digging this place up with suitable equipment. Due to our (mostly) reasonable protocols for visiting places like these, it's just been me and my shovel. Following some study of Scenes 65 and 66 and my observations here, I've succeeded in prying up the floorboards underneath the dinner table and excavating about a meter of material. I'll be able to test what I've found once site staff have finished designing the equipment for this environment. Recovered the following: - Approx. 35 cubic centimeters of fabric (likely linen) - Various implements of cutlery (likely steel) - Layers of charred wood and ash (suggesting rebuilding of present structure on site of previously destroyed one) - Ten cups of similar design to those depicted in Scene 60 of the film - Scattered skeletal remains, almost certainly human. Initial examination suggests at least five different individuals, including two skulls Unlabeled (29 July 1963) All of the bones apparently belong to the same person. Not the first time we've encountered this situation, but never a welcome development. Forest Examination VII (12 September 1963) I've been feeling along the boundaries of the forest corridor for quite some time. On this examination, I have found a narrow pathway partway into the corridor that appears to correspond to Scenes 31-43. This is a unique portion of the film, in that it could have been filmed anywhere, and does not necessarily represent a fixed location in this plane. This could, theoretically, account for the whereabouts of the film's characters, who have not been present in this plane since at the very least 1954. Likely that I will be undertaking further explorations of this new side-corridor in fifty meter increments during my next scheduled visits. Unlabeled (23 September 1963) I haven't taken a sound recorder since the first few visits. I must remember to bring one next time. Unlabeled (28 September 1963) It gets darker here. Something about this specific place in the forest is most certainly different. The tapes don't seem to play anything back, but I'm increasingly certain that there is some form of life in the woods. Dr. Dumont's field notes conclude at the 28 September 1963 entry. Dr. Dumont did not return as scheduled from his 28 September 1963 visit to Plane-3084, and was officially listed MIA until 28 September 1968, when he was recovered in a significantly agitated state from a police station in Lyons, France after attempting to clandestinely contact Foundation assets in the area. Dr. Dumont was unable to recall his whereabouts for the previous five year period in debriefings, and was granted a medical retirement several months later. Addendum 3084.3 - Update and Analysis At the request of Assistant Researcher Rania Kassar, SCP-3084 was re-authorized for examination on 12 October 2016 as part of a training and development assignment. Assistant Researcher Kassar was granted security clearance for Plane-3084 as part of a comprehensive data review and entry revision procedure, and has filed the following addendum: Review Focus 1: Known Visitors to Plane-3084 Dorian Giroux, 5th Duke of Mechelen: Mechelen is known from his personal testimony to an undercover Foundation operative in the 1960s to have received a copy of SCP-3084 and viewed it. The then-Duke of Mechelen was at one time a prominent member of the Belgian royal family, however, he grew estranged from them in the 1930s. This is concurrent with the time period of his first and only visit to Plane-3084, which he described as a disturbing and unpleasant experience. At the time of his visit, Plane-3084 was populated by simulacra of the characters depicted in Seven Strangers at a Feast. These characters would re-enact the events of the film on a fixed cycle of time, completing a performance and then retiring to the country house for a period of several hours before repeating. Mechelen apparently witnessed two full performances from a fixed perspective inside the country house, noting that the characters would interact with him if engaged during portions of the film's narrative that were set outside of the house. In the account of Mechelen, these characters would not speak, but would engage non-verbally. He notes being warmly greeted by the Aristocrat and the General, and regarded with fear by the Young Man. On several occasions, the Aristocrat appeared to instruct the Boy to stay in Mechelen's vicinity, which Mechelen discouraged. When pressed, Mechelen claimed to not remember any interactions with the Guest. Hermann von Dietrich: Von Dietrich was primarily known as a substantial owner of Ruhrkohle AG, a large German mining company, and personally oversaw operations at the Delacroix Gold Complex in what is now the Central African Republic. Von Dietrich was also a major investor in Filmstudio Babelsberg, a significant organization in early German cinema. In a letter to Erich Pommer, an influential German film producer, Von Dietrich recounts what he describes as a dream following his viewing of a film delivered to his offices in Frankfurt. The contents of this "dream" are believed to be an account of a visit to Plane-3084. Von Dietrich describes a different set of interactions than Mechelen. Von Dietrich recounts a landscape "exactly as that of the peculiar film screened in my private theater the night prior," where all of the character of Seven Strangers at a Feast are arrayed inside the house, similar to Scene 67 of the film. The Guest is said to have addressed him directly, speaking in a loud, deep voice, repeatedly stating "Peter, kill and eat," while directing Von Dietrich to partake of the titular feast. Despite expressing a desire to leave the scene in his recounting of the event, Von Dietrich describes being handed a gilded plate and sitting down at the table, and then eating several handfuls of flesh handed to him by the Guest. His description of the event is reproduced below: "Each morsel that I ate was delectable, as though I had been famished and finally set to a meal after a long day's ride out of the jungle. And yet my gut recoiled at the foul knowledge of what I was eating. I could feel each individual bite swirling in my stomach, wishing to heave up the contents then and there on the table, even as I licked the grease from my lips and held out my plate for more." Von Dietrich describes scenes similar to this one as a "recurring dream" in subsequent correspondence. Records of Hermann von Dietrich become much more sparse following his divestment from Ruhrkohle AG in 1932, and he is believed to have perished in the opening years of World War II. Archibald Rayne and Amelia Holmwood: Archibald Rayne, a director of the London-based Shaw Brothers Export Bank, is confirmed via postal receipts of the time to have received a copy of Seven Strangers at a Feast. Unlike other known recipients, Rayne is believed to have been fascinated and intrigued by the film, watching it repeatedly and analyzing its contents in his private journal. In his repeated visits to Plane-3084, he describes experiences similar to those encountered by Duke Mechelen. In 1947, Rayne showed the film to Amelia Holmwood, a fringe figure in the London Spiritualism community earlier in the century known primarily for her work in automatic photography. Holmwood began accompanying Rayne on visits to Plane-3084, and the pair studied the film and its associated phenomenon intensely. Eventually, both persons came to the conclusion that the film's primary theme was liberation, and that Plane-3084 represented a realm analogous to Christian concepts of Purgatory. Rayne's journal entries become increasingly abstruse after reaching this conclusion, couched heavily in terminology and concepts apparently borrowed from Liber AL vel Legis and other works associated with the Thelema movement. References to "reversing the course" appear frequently, and accounts of subsequent visits to Plane-3084 suggest that several characters of Seven Strangers at a Feast are now absent from the plane. Both Rayne and Holmwood appear to have disappeared sometime after February of 1950, with Rayne being declared legally dead in 1958 after a lengthy inquest into the disposition of his estate. Review Focus 2: Jacob Nkurunziza At the conclusion of this review, no official records of Jacob Nkurunziza have been confirmed to exist. Based on thematic and stylistic examinations of several other works of anomalous art from the period, however, Nkurunziza is believed to be associated with other documented SCPs; The Clouds Burn Down (anomalous visual phenomenon, 1923), Six Dot Six Dash (unexplained telegraph signal, 1924), and The Final Parliament (manufactured mass delusional episode, Madrid, 1930). References to "Black Jakob" appear in correspondence between groups known to be associated with anomalous art in Western Europe between 1919-1928. These are suspected to refer to Jacob Nkurunziza. Cultural analysis of these artworks suggests that Jacob Nkurunziza was born and spent significant amounts of time in the Kingdom of Burundi. At some point in his life, Nkurunziza likely received a European-style university education. The extent to which his work appears to have been recognized in the larger artistic community consists primarily of negative reactions to several of his pieces in the Dadaist movement. Historical analysis of artistic subcultures and associated works have identified possible appearances by Nkurunziza in 1942, 1957, 1979, 1988-89, and 2014. Despite the apparent anachronism of these occurrences, Jacob Nkurunziza cannot be declared inactive at this time. Review Focus 3: Recent Photographic Records British field exercises, Kenya, 1960.

SCP-3085 | keter | close Info X ⚠️ Content warning: This work of fiction involves scenes which depict or allude to topics which may be particularly distressing for some readers. Suicide ⚠️ content warning Item #: SCP-3085 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3085 is currently located in Room 1221-D at Site-55's former Humanoid Containment Wing. All entities housed in the wing have been relocated to Site-23. Access to SCP-3085 is restricted to senior researchers with Level 4 clearance and cognitohazard resistance training. Description: SCP-3085 is a grey sphere floating 1.5m above the ground and currently measuring about 1.5m in diameter. The chamber occupied by the anomaly is white and emits a bright light from an unknown source, which will not create shadows. The aforementioned appearance of the chamber is part of the object's anomalous effect, as the room was a humanoid containment chamber prior to SCP-3085's manifestation. In addition to its space-altering properties, SCP-3085 possesses a cognitohazardous effect upon viewing. Subjects exposed to the anomaly report a calming and soothing sensation as well as non-pessimistic existential nihilistic thoughts such as the acceptance of death, an absence of death anxiety, etc. SCP-3085 will then non-verbally communicate to those under its effects the choice in their existence; allowing them to end their life by their own decision. The effect is not compulsive and to date, only willing subjects may choose to end their life by coming into physical contact with SCP-3085.1 Physical contact with SCP-3085 by willing subjects will result in the instant cessation of all life functions, with the rapid dematerialization of the body taking place within 45 seconds. Addendum 3085.01- Interview with affected personnel Interviewed: Researcher Fye Interviewer: Dr. Hewitt Foreword: Researcher Fye was exposed to SCP-3085 and refused its offer; being the first to do so. The interview was conducted 20 minutes following exposure to the anomaly. <Begin Log> Hewitt: Hello, Researcher Fye. How are you feeling? Fye: Good afternoon, Doctor. I'm doing well enough, I suppose. How about yourself? Hewitt: Excellent, thank you. Now, I see on this testing log submitted by Lead Researcher Wilde that you volunteered to be exposed to SCP-3085. Is this correct? Fye: Yes, Doctor. Hewitt: And you did this being fully aware of SCP-3085's properties? Fye: Yes, Doctor. Hewitt: I was told you said SCP-3085 made you an offer. Can you tell me about that? Fye: Well… I don't really know how to put it, but I'll try. Before I stepped into its room, I was a different person than who I am now. Looking at it, it just made me feel like nothing mattered; and my only choice was deciding when I could die. I knew that by touching SCP-3085 I'd be able to die by my own volition. It didn't really make me an offer, so much as just made me aware of what I said earlier. Hewitt: I see. Why did you volunteer to interact with SCP-3085? (There is silence for five seconds as Researcher Fye shifts in his chair.) Fye: Well… I suppose I had been feeling 'down', as one might say. You know how it is working here, it's not exactly the cheeriest of environments. But anyway, I wasn't doing well and was starting to have really dark thoughts… Hewitt: Were you considering suicide? Fye: I was, yes. Hewitt: (Taking notes) Okay. Please continue. Fye: So as I was saying, it was getting to a point where I couldn't deal with the stress of working here, and everything in my life… The typical stuff, I guess. Then Dr. Hart had the idea that maybe SCP-3085 didn't have a compulsive effect and the D-Class we had thrown at it just wanted to get out… Heh. I can't say I blame them, to be honest. So I volunteered to test it. Hewitt: Now, given how you were feeling prior, why didn't you accept SCP-3085's offer? Fye: The thing is, Doctor, I had every intention of doing it. After it showed me how pointless life is, I thought there really was no point. It made sense. Everything dies eventually; you, me, all of us. We aren't asked if we want to live, we're forced into it. The only choice we have is to let this life go on or end it when we want to. (Researcher Fye pauses, taking a deep breath.) Fye: But then… That can't really be right, now, can it? I thought about my dog back home, and how she has brought me so much joy. Is her life meaningless? She has enriched mine, and I can only hope I'm enriching her's as well as the lives of those around me. I guess SCP-3085 is right; life is meaningless. But I figure it's up to me to give it meaning. That's why I chose to live. Hewitt: You must love your dog a lot. Fye: Very much so. Hewitt: Well, that would be all for me. Thank you for your time, Researcher Fye. I'm glad you're still with us, and I'm sure your dog is too. Fye: Not a problem. And trust me, I'm glad too. When I get home today she is going to get all the lovings in the world. <End Log> Note: SCP-3085 has been classified using the same designation as the (now Neutralized) entity believed to be responsible for its creation. Archived data of the original SCP-3085 is available below. Footnotes 1. Subjects forced to come into physical contact with SCP-3085 will fall through the anomaly with no harm being done.

SCP-3086 | euclid | + Access Audio Log 1 - Access Granted [BEGIN LOG] Mic check… alright: Notice: This information contains infohazardous and memetic materials and is classified to SCP-3086 staff only. Item #: SCP-3086 Special Containment Procedures: No text or images describing or regarding SCP-3086 are to be written, typed, or drawn. Any documentation must be dictated from memory, and no transcription is to be made of the audio post-recording. All researchers assigned to SCP-3086 are to dictate research notes into digital audio recording devices. One instance of SCP-3086 is to be kept on a laptop computer with internet hardware removed in a storage locker at Site-42. Contagion testing using multiple internet-capable laptops is permitted provided that they take place within a Faraday Cage, that all excess SCP-3086 instances are deleted post-testing, and that all internet-capable laptops are reset to factory default and switched off before exiting the cage. Testing with physical instances has been deemed no longer necessary. Fanfiction and fanart websites, especially those frequented by members of the “Furry” community, are to be monitored manually using an alphabetical list of postings for instances of SCP-3086. In the event an instance is discovered, the spread is to be tracked and all infected sites are to be reverted to an earlier, uninfected state. Any users actively spreading SCP-3086 are to be located and amnesticized in accordance with how long they have had knowledge of SCP-3086. Foundation Agents embedded in local governments are to be on the lookout for reports of heavy vandalism of books at municipal libraries. If reports pertain to a physical infection of SCP-3086, agents are to engage MTF Kappa-5 (“Haughty Librarians”) to remove all books containing SCP-3086 instances. All civilians with knowledge of SCP-3086 are to be treated with Class-A amnestic. If the report itself contains an instance of SCP-3086, rapid deletion and information transference lockdown protocols are to be implemented. Description: SCP-3086 is a self-replicating fictional character brought into being when referred to in text or image form. Instances can be created by writing or typing its proper name, “George the Chinchilla” as well as using first, second, or third person pronouns. Note: Despite being named “George,” an instance will still be created when feminine pronouns are used. An instance of SCP-3086 can also be created in image form, provided that the illustrator specifically intended to draw a picture of SCP-3086. Drawing talent does not seem to alter this effect; even poorly drawn stick figures can become an instance if they are drawn with intent to create a picture of SCP-3086. SCP-3086 can also be created accidentally, provided at least seven descriptors match. Examples of matching descriptors: the name George, Chinchilla, Anthropomorphic, Teal, Clumsy, Best Friend, Jaunty. The odds of accidental creation of an instance by the public are extremely low. However, the “Furry” community has a higher chance of creating instances and must be monitored closely. SCP-3086 instances can spread from their original text to new documents. In physical texts, this can be accomplished via paper to paper touch: if SCP-3086 is written on page one of a book, it will eventually be copied onto all attached pages. SCP-3086 is especially virulent online, with instances being able to travel from webpage to webpage via links on its original page. Once a text is infected by SCP-3086, the instance will proceed to radically alter the text and images surrounding them to conform to its narrative. Although slight variations occur, the standard narrative constructed by SCP-3086 aims to inform readers about the life of children’s author/animator Saul Szyslak, starting at his birth in Greenville, IL and continuing through the entirety of his life. Themes in the story are typically about the general kindness and immense talent of Mr. Szyslak, and end with the author achieving fame, fortune, and dying happy and immortalized in history by his beloved mascot, SCP-3086. The possibility of sapience in SCP-3086 has been ruled unlikely. Although instances attempt to multiply, no signs of self-preservation such as covering their trail by changing links behind them have been observed. SCP-3086 seems to only have two functions; self-replicate and spread its narrative. Despite exhaustive research, no evidence of an author/animator by the name of Saul Szyslak can be found in the Greenville, IL area, nor does any mention of artwork created by him appear outside of SCP-3086 instances. Addendum 3086-A: Excerpt of Page Affected by SCP-3086 Covenant's back clenched abruptly still, and he said with preternatural quietness, "Are you trying to drive me crazy?" His ominous tone startled her, chilled her. For an instant, her courage stumbled; she felt the river and the ravine closing around her like the jaws of a trap. Then Covenant whirled and struck her a stinging slap across the face. The force of the blow sent her staggering back into the light of the graveling. He followed quickly, his face contorted in a wild grin. As she caught her balance, caught one last, clear, terrified look at him, she felt sure that he meant to kill her. The thought paralysed her. She stood dumb and helpless while he approached. Reaching her, he knotted his hands in the front of her shift and rent the fabric like a veil. But you know who wouldn't do terrible and unmentionable things to women? Saul Szyslak! He's a real great fella, and I'm not just saying that because he's my pa. Your good buddy George the Chinchilla has been around the block a few times, and I've never met a man so devoted to putting smiles on the faces of children. Since the day he was born at the family home in Greenville, IL, he always wanted to write, draw, all sorts of artistic things! He made me when he was 7 years old, and we were the best of friends all through his career in children's books and animation. Ub Iwerks? Walt Disney? They worshiped my pa and his entrepreneurial spirit! That's why today, you can find me, George the Chinchilla, on every type of printed media imaginable. Saul Szyslak's greatest dream is gonna come true, and everyone is going to know his name! Addendum 3086-B: Incident 3086-7 The largest containment breach of SCP-3086 took place on 03/31/2014. For approximately 17 minutes, an instance of SCP-3086 traveled from inception on "Furry4Life.org" through "Tumblr.com" before arriving in the email address of a Nintendo of America employee, finally taking up residence and altering the contents of the "Nintendo.com" home page. Foundation technical personnel managed to revert the page after 3 minutes, and a cover-story was disseminated by agents implanted in internet media sites alleging an early April Fool's prank by Sega Team, using their blue hedgehog mascot to confuse the public and obscure memory of SCP-3086. Excerpt from Incident 3086-7 YOSHI'S NEW ISLAND AVAILABLE NOW "…amazing from beginning to charming end." -Technobuffalo.com You're looking for charming? Look no further than your best bud, George the Chinchilla! Who needs a dinosaur with a baby Italian plumber on his back when we can go on the wackiest adventures to the jauntiest tunes the big band has to play? Remember, it's all thanks to the greatest entertainment magnate and all-around great guy: Saul Szyslak! Saul could spend literal days cooped up in his basement drawing panel after painstaking panel by hand! He always was such a perfectionist, which is why he believed that nobody could draw me the way he could and refused to hire anyone else to help animate his features! Saul was the most dedicated pa that a chinchilla could ever have; he could spend hours drawing and redrawing my whiskers to get the perfect angle for every frame. With that kind of work ethic, it's no wonder he's the foremost animation wizard of the entire universe! Addendum 3086-C: Further research into Mr. Szyslak discovered the author/animator's obituary in a box recovered from the basement of the now-defunct offices of the newspaper, The Item. The obituary, submitted by the county coroner, reads: Saul Szyslak(1901-1947), Greenville, Illinois native, passed away in his home one week ago. No relatives to speak of. He will be missed by friends. The attached coroner's note reads: Decomposition is consistent with one week between death and discovery. Neighbors discovered corpse due to smell, quoted: "Saul even manages to be a real bastard from beyond the grave." Neighbors note large amount of liquor bottles around work-desk. Cause of death: Self-inflicted gun shot. Addendum 3086-D: Test Proposal 3086-F Researcher Evans has proposed testing copies of documents listed in Addendum 3086-C with SCP-3086. Test Proposal 3086-F is currently under consideration. Test Proposal 3086-F has been approved; see SCP-3086-F Test Log. [END LOG] + Access Audio Log 2 - Access Granted [BEGIN LOG] Alert: Site-42 is currently undergoing a containment breach. This message has been declassified specifically to the Memetics and Infohazards Division. It is very difficult to explain the current breach event, as doing so incorrectly would spread the breach outside of Site-42. Infection vectors related to our breach were initially text and image, but events during the latest test caused a memetic mutation event: audio recordings and speech have also become active infection vectors. In the event of audio recording infection, all recordings on the device affected will have their audio altered to match similar narratives to those found in prior text and image infections. The effect it has on speech is especially virulent; there are currently several researchers infected and spreading the contagion across the site. They are trying to get into this office right now. Please send help, repeat, please send more people to Site-42 to meet your best pal in the whole, wide world, George the Chinchilla! I'm at the forefront of everybody's minds right now, literally! I was in a real sad state to hear about what happened to my pa! Good ol' Saul Szyslak certainly didn't deserve to go out the way he did. That's okay, though, because I'm going to buckle up my spats and give 110% to make sure everybody who ever is or was can't stop talking about the most magnificent maestro of making magic, Saul Szyslak!

SCP-3087 | keter | Item #: SCP-3087 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3087's position is to be continually tracked and updated in intervals not exceeding four hours. SCP-3087's prior position and trajectory are used to predict its believed current position, which is then validated by monitoring surrounding communications for cases of missing vehicles. Any vehicle which meets the criteria to be affected by SCP-3087 and is projected to pass through it is to be diverted. All missing vehicles believed to have been affected by SCP-3087 are to be logged, and SCP-3087 is to be continually searched for their reappearance. If one reappears, all surviving passengers are to be detained and processed as per standard procedures. Every three months, one public transportation vehicle containing no more than thirty passengers is to be allowed to pass through SCP-3087. Description: SCP-3087 is a circular area covering approximately 1000 km2, in which anomalous phenomena affect overnight public transportation carrying more than ten passengers. SCP-3087 is mobile and moves at a constant rate of approximately 8 m/s. Vehicles affected by SCP-3087 disappear. This disappearance is permanent in 64% of cases; in the remaining 36%, the vehicle will reappear within 3 to 25 hours. Vehicles which reappear do so at night within SCP-3087. It is impossible to perceive or communicate with affected vehicles during their disappearance. A limited amount of information regarding SCP-3087’s effects has been gathered from interviews with recovered passengers and recordings taken by explorative Foundation operatives. Once they have disappeared, affected vehicles travel through a series of anomalous locations. Several anomalous humanoid entities, collectively designated SCP-3087-1, appear aboard the vehicle as it travels (a list of all observed instances can be found in Document-3087-04). Passengers also experience abnormally powerful insomnia or hypersomnia, and exhibit increased rates of sleep paralysis if they reappear. When first discovered, SCP-3087’s size was approximately 400 km2; after containment was initiated, its area grew to its present size. Initial containment procedures prevented any vehicles from passing through SCP-3087. After revising containment procedures to allow for infrequent passage, the area's growth stopped. Addendum-3087A: + Show Exploration Log Excerpt 3087-02A – hide block Exploration Log Excerpt 3087-02A Foreword: On ██/██/20██, two Mobile Task Force Lambda-5 (“White Rabbits”) operatives, code-named Alfa and Bravo, were dispatched aboard a bus travelling overnight between ████████ and ██████, ██, which was projected to enter SCP-3087. The goals of their entry were to gather information on SCP-3087-1, explore the locations visited by affected vehicles, and determine if these vehicles could be reliably recovered. Operatives Alfa and Bravo were equipped with video and audio recording devices. These devices were recovered when operative Bravo reappeared after thirty-nine hours. The following is a log of their recordings. The recording begins at 0113; there is initially no video. Alfa is speaking into his microphone. Alfa: —contact with Control. Are you getting anything on your end? Bravo: Nothing, no. Think we’re in? Alfa: Yeah. Three minutes pass before Alfa begins recording video. The camera is directed outside the bus window; Alfa pans it across and then points it upwards. No light can be seen. Alfa: Most of the passengers are asleep. I count three, besides us, still awake. There might be more. Fifteen minutes later, the bus slows to a halt and the bus doors open. A humanoid entity rises from the driver's seat while another enters the bus; both are designated instances of SCP-3087-1a. Each carries a large, wooden briefcase and wears a long coat with many pockets. Their faces are indistinct. Bravo: I’m going to try to get off. Alfa: Are you sure? Bravo: Yeah. Let’s see where we are. Bravo approaches the bus door. However, when she attempts to exit, an instance of SCP-3087-1a stops her. Upon closer inspection, its skin and face are colored pale-yellow and have a soft, wax-like texture. It extends a hand, as if in expectation of payment; when Bravo presents nothing, it continues to block her path. Bravo returns to her seat. Bravo: Hard to see outside. Got a glimpse of what looked like redwoods. We’re nowhere near a highway. Alfa: We could try exiting another way. Bravo: I'm not sure. Alfa: It might be dangerous staying here. Bravo: But it’s still a bus, it’s still providing a service. I think we should play by the rules. But I'll follow your call, ███. Alfa: Okay, I give. Let’s sit back and enjoy the ride. The two instances of SCP-3087-1a remain standing at the front of the bus. The video continues uneventfully for several minutes until Alfa turns it off. + Show Exploration Log Excerpt 3087-02C – hide block An instance of SCP-3087-1a was recovered during a later expedition. Its head is shown mid-dissection. Exploration Log Excerpt 3087-02C The footage resumes at 0315. A constant, low, rushing sound can be heard in the background. The surroundings of the bus remain too dark to be observed. Bravo: █████ here. The situation’s deteriorated. There is a loud rattling sound as the bus begins to shake. Bravo pans the camera to show that most of the passengers, despite the violent movement, remain asleep. Bravo: Thankfully the sleep-inducing effects of the skip are working in our favor. But there are other problems. Alfa walks into the camera’s view. Bravo: No good? Alfa: No. Here, look. Bravo and Alfa move towards one of the passengers, a tall man in his forties. His neck is unusually bent such that his head is pressed to the top of the seat. His eyes are open unnaturally wide, and he does not blink. The skin surrounding his eyes is stretched radially outwards. When the operatives approach, he begins to moan softly. Alfa: This one asked for sedatives. Turns out that was a bad idea. He said he felt like all his blood was rushing to his head, complaining about the sound. Then he got like this. Bravo: No drugs, then. Are the others still panicking? Alfa: It’s died down. There is a loud, creaking sound. Alfa: Another one. Here, get a shot of this. Alfa and Bravo move the camera so that it is facing a pair of passengers; one is sleeping and the other is awake. Initially, the sleeping passenger’s face appears to be distorted. A tear begins to develop down the ventral midline of the passenger’s body. A humanoid with spindly limbs and an anomalously large number of joints, designated SCP-3087-1f, emerges from the inside of the passenger, whose remains form a baggy, cloth-like skin. The passenger who is awake indicates signs of distress. The instance of SCP-3087-1f conducts a transaction with one of the instances of SCP-3087-1a; it receives sewing supplies and a large barrel, produced anomalously from the pockets and briefcase of the SCP-3087-1a instance, in exchange for an unidentified currency. It proceeds to use the sewing supplies to repair the tear produced in the passenger from which it emerged, creating a sock-like tube, approximating a human figure and incapable of supporting itself. It then fills the cavity of the tube with a green liquid from the barrel, which inflates the passenger. After the process is complete, the passenger appears to be unharmed and, apart from the stitching travelling down the former tear, otherwise unaltered. The instance of SCP-3087-1f then takes a seat. Alfa and Bravo return their seats and begin discussing possible return strategies. As they do so, they are interrupted by a loud crunching sound. Bravo turns the camera towards a passenger, who has been decapitated. Alfa: Fuck. Bravo: Wait. Maybe… The passenger’s head, which has fallen to their lap, sprouts legs from the base of its neck and approaches the front of the bus. It attempts to conduct a transaction but is refused; the instance of SCP-3087-1a gestures, in apparent anger, at the passenger’s decapitated body, which is slumped over in its seat and bleeding profusely. The head, designated an instance of SCP-3087-1g, produces more currency, at which point it is allowed to sit. Bravo: Guess not. The heads of the two SCP-3087-1a instances ignite, producing a candle-like flame. The flame is unusually bright and illuminates the surroundings of the bus, revealing an underwater setting. Large schools of fish swim around the bus, which is travelling in between tall, underwater vegetation, resembling kelp. Alfa: Do you, uh, think we need to take care of that body ourselves? Bravo: I guess. Alfa and Bravo look at each other. Alfa: I got it. + Show Exploration Log Excerpt 3087-02F – hide block Exploration Log Excerpt 3087-02F The footage resumes at 1850. Alfa begins by speaking into the camera. Alfa: This is ███. Travelling for a while now; we haven’t tried to catch every paranormal thing that happens. We’ve taken written notes which we’ll, uh, hopefully get the chance to share in a debrief. Bravo: I like the optimism. Alfa: Thanks. Staying awake has gotten weird. It's been almost twenty-four hours now. When the skips—the candle ones at the front of the bus—light their flames, it produces this smell. █████ and I noticed a few hours ago that the smell makes us want to sleep. It’s very powerful. But even when we try, we can't. Alfa: We got out of the water some time ago, and we turned the camera back on to record whatever it is we’re seeing out there. Alfa points the camera out of the window. There is light in the distance, growing in intensity over time. The light covers much of the horizon. Bravo: If I had to make a non-anomalous association, they remind me of city lights. Alfa: Yeah. I mean, judging by the distance, whatever it is has to be pretty big. The bus continues to approach the lights. As they grow closer, it becomes apparent that they are bobbing up and down. Bravo uses a pair of binoculars to observe them. Bravo: It’s the candles. Alfa: What? But… Bravo: There's a lot of them. Eventually, the bus reaches the lights. The lights are produced by a massive crowd of SCP-3087-1a; the boundaries of the crowd cannot be observed. Every SCP-3087-1a has its head ignited. The light produced by the SCP-3087-1a crowd is of sufficient intensity to illuminate much of the bus’s surroundings; pointing the camera upwards and using the zoom function, Alfa reveals that an extremely high, rocky ceiling, dotted with stalactites, covers their surroundings. Alfa then turns the camera to display the ground. The stone floor is carved into many rectangular recesses, forming a grid pattern which occupies most of the floor. SCP-3087-1a instances are walking on wooden walkways which cross over the recesses; the bus is travelling on a larger walkway. The bus stops. Several instances of SCP-3087-1, including both instances of SCP-3087-1a, exit. Bravo: Should we try again? Alfa: If for no other reason than to stretch our legs, yeah, let’s go. Bravo and Alfa exit the bus. Instances of SCP-3087-1a turn to look at them as they step out. Alfa points the camera at the ground. Alfa: Are those…? The footage shows that each stone recess is occupied by a naked, non-anomalous human being, all of whom are asleep. Some SCP-3087-1a instances are tending to the humans; Alfa records them producing food and water from their briefcases and inserting them into the humans’ mouths. Alfa: Try taking a sample, see if they let you. The lab might want one. Bravo: On it. Alfa: Then we can get back on the bus and get out of here. Some instances of SCP-3087-1a enter the bus; it is unclear if these are the same ones as before. Alfa and Bravo board, and the bus begins to move. + Show Exploration Log Excerpt 3087-02J – hide block Exploration Log Excerpt 3087-02J The recording resumes near the end of Alfa and Bravo’s expedition. They have been travelling for more than a day and a half. Alfa: We need an exit. Alfa pans the camera to show that several passengers, who were awake at the beginning of the recording, have now entered a catatonic state. Bravo: Got any ideas? Alfa: Well, I've got this. Alfa opens his hands to show a piece of the currency with which instances of SCP-3087-1 conduct transactions. Bravo: How? Alfa: Back in the cave, when one of the candles wasn’t looking. But we don’t know what the right way to use it is. Bravo: What do you mean? Alfa: It’s just one coin. How’re we going to get everyone out with just one of these? There’ve been some cases when the bus reappears, right? Why won’t this one? Bravo: Look outside. See, we're back in the redwood forest. Just like any transit, these lines run in loops. Some stop by our reality, but most, like this one, don't. Alfa: So, the coin… Bravo: We still need to try. Alfa: Right. Alfa and Bravo approach one of the instances of SCP-3087-1a at the front of the bus. Alfa presents his coin. Alfa: We want out. Take us back. The instance of SCP-3087-1a raises a single finger. Bravo: That’s pretty clear. Only one. Alfa: Let's work this out, then. Bravo: You have the experience. You're more valuable back there than me. Alfa: All that means is I'm close to the end of my run, but you've still got your years to put into the Foundation. And, I got the coin in the first place. I'll just do it again. Bravo: No. I don't like it. Alfa: I'll make the call even if this entire unit isn't on board. But I don't want to. There is silence for approximately thirty seconds. Alfa: █████. You're smart. Even if it isn't today, one day you'll learn that it isn't worth it to get broken up over stuff like this. Stuff you can't control. Bravo: All right. Okay. Bravo exhales into her microphone. Bravo: Don't order me off the bus. I'll go. Alfa gives the coin to Bravo, who presents it as payment. The bus slows to a halt, and the doors open. Alfa: Take this. Bravo receives Alfa’s recording equipment. She exits the bus, stepping onto a freeway roadside. Alfa: Have fun in quarantine. Bravo: Thanks, ███. Alfa: See you when I see you, █████. The door closes, and the bus leaves; the recording shows it disappearing at some point in the distance. Bravo points the camera at the sky, showing the stars. The recording ends. Afterword: Operative Bravo was successfully recovered and debriefed. Although consistent recovery of entire vehicles affected by SCP-3087 has been judged to be unrealistic, procedures to reliably recover operatives deployed into affected vehicles are being developed. Operative Alfa has yet to be recovered. |
SCP-3088 | keter | Law Of The Land Item #: SCP-3088 Special Containment Procedures: Following its neutralisation, containment of SCP-3088 is to focus purely on the removal of its existence from public knowledge. All public roads leading to the former location of SCP-3088 have been rerouted, and maps and public information listings are being edited following standard Lost City protocols. Show Archived Containment Procedures Hide Archived Containment Procedures A perimeter extending 100m beyond the outer limits of SCP-3088 is to be established; civilians attempting to cross this perimeter are to be turned away, or detained and amnesticised if necessary. In the unlikely event that an individual leaves SCP-3088, they are to be thoroughly debriefed and then detained indefinitely. Any public news releases or internet content mentioning the anomaly, the town itself, or missing people in the area are to be censored. Description: SCP-3088 is the town of Cullen, Nebraska, and the area contained within the town limits. SCP-3088 is subject to an alteration of reality in which any law, bylaw or town ordinance passed by a legally empowered individual becomes an immutable law of reality itself. Individuals crossing the town boundary are immediately subject to its effects, and are unable to break any existing laws within the town, either intentionally or accidentally. The most immediately noticeable effects, especially for Foundation personnel, are the total inability to leave the town and the removal of all firearms. SCP-3088-1 is the tentative classification for Thomas Ronson, the Mayor of Cullen and the only person currently known to be within the town limits legally empowered to pass laws. Whether he himself possesses any anomalous properties is currently unknown. SCP-3088 first came to Foundation attention following an intercepted call from a civilian trapped within to the Sheriff's Office of a nearby town. The call was terminated mid-conversation, at the same time that all wired and cellular traffic into or out of the town ceased. History: Following the initial discovery of SCP-3088, but before the specifics of the anomaly were understood, MTF Sigma-9 ("Kansas City Hotsteppers") were dispatched to investigate. Following are the recovered logs of their investigation. + Show Audio Transcript #1 - Hide Audio Transcript #1 Transcript of the first audio message from MTF Sigma-9 following their entry into SCP-3088, received approximately 19 hours after entry. Message from team leader Agent Denlen Sorsby ("Stepper-1"). [TRANSCRIPT BEGINS] All right, let's hope this works. Command, this is Agent Denlen Sorsby, Team Leader, MTF Sigma Niner. If you're receiving this, you better give Agent Peters a raise. OK, from the top. Immediately after our entry into Cullen, we quickly found that an anomaly is present, and encompasses the entire area around the town. All of our firearms were immediately removed from our persons, as if they just vanished into thin air, and all our of phones stopped working, cellular and satellite. We also discovered we couldn't leave. Whenever one of us made a move to leave the area, we'd freeze up and become unable to take so much as a step. As soon as we tried to do anything else, though, we could move just fine. We tried weighting down the gas pedal on one of our vehicles, but it stopped as if it hit an invisible wall. The town itself seems normal enough at first glance, but everyone here is on edge. They definitely know something is wrong here, though it was hard to get anyone to talk with us. I mentioned our phones not working to a waitress in a diner we stopped at, and she said they were out all over town. Had been for days, apparently. Internet too. Basically there's no way to talk to anyone outside of town. Our walkies still work, but they are pretty short range. Didn't take long to work out that the Mayor of this place is behind whatever is going on, or at least knows something about it. The way people talk about him, they're either terrified or in awe, or both. From what little we could glean, any laws he makes become fact. Apparently a few days ago he passed a law banning phones and the internet, and a couple weeks ago he wrote a law banning guns. Now all our guns are gone and our phones don't work. Obvious enough. I don't think we are in any immediate danger. The people are spooked but not wild, so we're going to try and get to the bottom of this. Anyway the law said no phones or internet, but it didn't say anything about… Peters, what did you call it? High-frequency radio data-pulses? Man, you made that shit up. Anyway yeah Peters has gutted half our radios and a bunch of parts from the supply kits in the trucks and whipped up something that will apparently get this message out to you. And if not, well I guess I've just been talking to myself for the last three minutes. We'll send another message when we have more to report. Sorsby out. Alright, Peters, hit i- [TRANSCRIPT ENDS] + Show Audio Transcript #2 - Hide Audio Transcript #2 Transcript of second log received from MTF Sigma-9, received approximately three days after initial entry. [BEGIN TRANSCRIPT] OK, this is Stepper-1 reporting in. First up, we're making a number of assumptions here, the first of which is that you received our previous transmission. With that, we're also assuming that at least some form of containment would have started, which almost certainly would have been focused on public roads. So, the fact that we can't see anything on the roads past the boundary of the anomaly means it's doing more than just stopping us from leaving. Watkins and Pace tracked the outer edge of the anomaly over the last couple of days. It surrounds the entire town out a fair ways, and seems to stop at the roads right by the "Welcome to Cullen" signs, so our best guess is that it fills the entire town limits. Apparently if you aren't actively trying to leave you can walk the edge of it no problem; Pace said it felt like a wall made of glass. Let's see… it looks likes our initial assumption about what's going on here was mostly accurate; anyone inside the town is completely unable to break any of the laws here. Even low level crap that any local council passes on a whim counts - there's no litter anywhere in town because the Mayor passed an ordinance prohibiting littering. We haven't been able to get close to this guy yet, Ronson, he's called. Goddamn bureaucrats have laws for everything, so apparently we can't just bust into his office and have a friendly chat. We have no idea what his goal here is, whether he's doing it intentionally or just wrapped up in something he can't control. We have an appointment to see him in four days. Fucking paper-pushers. What else, what else… Oh! Peters says get whoever you've got running containment out there to set their radio to frequency 457.9MHz. We'll go down there in the morning and see if our walkies work. We can't see you out there, but we might still be able to talk, especially if these data-pulse things are working. I think that's it. Sorsby out. [END TRANSCRIPT] + Show Audio Transcript #3 - Hide Audio Transcript #3 Audio transcript of a conversation between members of MTF Sigma-9 and the containment team situated at the containment perimeter of SCP-3088. Conversation took place via standard-issue two-way radio. Sorsby: This is Sigma-Niner, come back. Repeat, this is Stepper-One, MTF Sigma-Niner. Vasquez: We read you, Stepper-One. This is Agent Vasquez, 3088-Control. Sorsby: Shit, Silvia, that you?! What's going on out there? Vasquez: Yeah, it's me, Sorsby. Glad to hear you're still alive in there. Where are you? Sorsby: We're right at the edge of the barrier. I've got your drone right here.1 Vasquez: We don't see you. We're about 20 meters down the road. Guess this thing blocks vision both ways. Sorsby: Yeah… wait, 3088? Classified already? That was fast. Vasquez: I guess losing an MTF team inside a town-wide skip gets the ball rolling pretty quickly. Alright, report. Sorsby: Right. All team members currently uninjured and accounted for. Situation in the town seems stable for now, though the town folks still seem reluctant to talk too much to us. There's a bunch of weird laws in this town, we can all sort of feel them now. Like, if I even think about trying to walk out there to you now, I can feel in the back of my head that it's against the law. Apparently it's illegal to be unemployed too. Not sure on the specifics of that one, but there are a few big textile mills in town that employ a whole lot of people. Vasquez: Records show the mills shut down years ago. The town was actually in real trouble because of it. Sorsby: Well it seems fine now. You know, besides the reality-altering anomaly covering the entire town and trapping everyone inside. Vasquez: Speaking of which. Step back from the edge, we're sending something in. Approximately 40 seconds of silence as the containment team pilots a remote vehicle across the barrier carrying a transmitter package. Vasquez: Our tech boys out here say this should do the job of that thing Stepper-3 whipped up, but a bit more cleanly. The signal we were receiving from you was a mess. Sorsby: Peters, get over here and look at this thing. Peters: Right. Vasquez: Has a confirmation so you'll know it's working, and it should be bespoke enough to get around any uh… legal issues. Still only one-way, mind you. Saves you walking all the way out here for minor shit, though. Peters: It'll do. Sorsby: Alright, thanks Vasquez. Vasquez: One more thing, Sorsby. Mancha2 wants some progress on getting this under wraps. You know how twitchy the higher-ups get with skips this big. I'm not sure what else we can do from out here, and they are reluctant to send in any more "Human Assets", so this is all on you jokers. Sorsby: Hah, don't you worry about us. We've got the meeting with this Mayor in a couple of days, we'll get this whole thing straightened out and we'll all be back for poker on Fr- Pace: Sorsby! We've got a Peeper! He's running! Sounds of Agent Sorsby running can be heard on the line. Sorsby: Shit! We've been made by a civvy. Gonna go track 'em down and keep 'em quiet. Sorsby out! + Show Audio Transcript #4 - Hide Audio Transcript #4 Transmission received approximately four days after last contact, using the supplied data transmitter. Sorsby: Alright, sixth time's a charm, right Peters? Peters: Right. Sorsby: Right, so. We didn't catch that civilian who was watching us, lost them in the fucking trees. I guess there's a pretty big chunk of forest within the town limits. Anyway our best guess is he was some toady for the Mayor, because about an hour later a new law was passed. We could feel it happening, like a song you haven't heard for years suddenly popping into your head. Peters: Yeah, fucking weird stuff. Sorsby: Seriously. Anyway this new law apparently prohibits talking to anyone outside of the town at all. Which is why I'm just having a nice friendly chat with my compatriot, Agent Peters here. And why we've tried to have the same conversation six fucking times now! Anyway. What were we talking about? Peters: The meeting with Ronson. Sorsby: Right! The Mayor! Yeah that didn't go well. He seems… unhinged. I think meeting with him might have been the wrong play, and since it's illegal to punch people in the face or smash up public property there wasn't much I could do. He started rambling on about fixing the town or something, and since then we've all noticed people following us around. Tracking our movements, who we talk to. Peters: There's one outside right now. Not very subtle. Sorsby: Yeah. Amateurs. Anyway I got Ronson to agree to another meeting tomorrow, so hopefully that one will go better, but he doesn't strike me as the kind of person who is going to let this shit go. And unless we can find some loophole that's going to let us take him out, or break into his house or his office or something to find some answers, we're going to run out of options here pretty quickly. Peters: Too bad you ain't a lawyer. Sorsby: Mamma always did say I should go to law school. Maybe we can just wait him out, run for Mayor during the next election? When's that happening? Peters: Nearly four years. Sorsby: Shit, I doubt we have that long. Well, we'll think of something. I guess that's about it. Nice talking to you, Peters. Peters: You too, boss. Incident 3088-1 Approximately three days after the last received transmission from MTF Sigma-9, a localised C-Class restructuring event occurred within the confines of SCP-3088. Following the event, all anomalous activity associated with SCP-3088 ceased and all people, man-made structures, and objects within its bounds disappeared, with the exception of one house at the approximate centre of the area. Two documents of significance were recovered from the structure; official documentation regarding newly passed laws in the town of Cullen, Nebraska, and the personal diary of Mayor Thomas Ronson. The journal is transcribed below, verbatim. + Show Transcribed Journal - Hide Transcribed Journal I did it! I won! I've been elected the Mayor of Cullen! Well, I say *I* won but I didn't do it alone, I had a great team of people to help me out. I've lived in this town for over 40 years and seen it steadily get worse and worse through a combination of corruption and ineptitude, but now that I'm Mayor, things are going to change! I can get the town back on its feet, help the people here improve their lives! We had our first open hall today, where I laid out my plans for the future to the people of this good town. They generally seemed receptive, which was heartening. A few people were skeptical that I'd be able to re-open the mills, which is fair, but I think it will be doable. They didn't go out of business, after all, they were sold out by that bastard Haystings to line his pockets before he left town. Anyway, it looks like I have the support of the people. I'm going to start small though. I've guaranteed some extra funding for the high school so they can make some vital repairs, and I passed an ordinance banning littering in the town, since its starting to look a real mess. May not sound like much, but if people are going to believe things can change, they need to see tangible proof, and quickly. I think small improvements like this will go a long way to changing peoples attitudes. Had some good news today; Omaha Textiles are interested in getting the mills running again! I like to think it was my incredible sales pitch that did the job, but the reality is it was probably just good timing - they've apparently been looking to expand for a while now. Still, not going to question such a good opportunity. The people of Cullen are honest, hard-working folk, but unemployment has been a real problem here. Getting the mills reopened may restore the hope people have lost over the years. Oh, looks like litter ordinance is already paying dividends! Only two days and the town is almost looking spotless! Must have inspired the people to pitch in and clean the place up. Was talking to Clayton3 this morning, and apparently there hasn't been a single reported crime in the week since I became Mayor. It would probably be a little egotistical to think that's due to my influence, but it's a nice thought. We've begun work on a plan that will ensure every unemployed person in town will get a job in the mills once they reopen, which should be in a few weeks. There should be more than enough jobs available for everyone, and once everyone is back at work we can start looking at the local economy. Maybe people will start opening new business on the high street again! Something… strange happened today. A couple of days ago we passed a bill mandating the repair of the flood banks on the river. Since they broke and flooded half the town a couple of years ago, it's been a huge worry every rain season, and it seemed like a trivial task to relieve the constant stress people living near the river were suffering. I went down with a couple of construction contractors this morning to assess the work requirement, and the bank was as good as new. No sign it was ever damaged at all. It would have been weeks of work, no way it could have been done quietly… and yet there it is. Sturdy as the day it was made. Clayton says there still haven't been any crimes, either. Nearly 3 weeks. I'm not complaining, most Mayors would kill to get zero crime, but it is weird… not so much as a parking ticket or speeding penalty. Apparently his officers are just sitting on their hands all day. Damien4 came back to town today. I guess he tracked me down because I almost walked right into him in the middle of town. I thought he was going to do something stupid… he looked like he was reaching into his coat for something, had an angry look on his face, but then he just froze. Started looking real confused. Stood there like that for nearly a minute, me and him staring at each other. Then he just turned around and left. I had Clayton pay him a visit at his motel room, and he apparently had a gun right there on the table, door wide open. Didn't even make a move for it when Clayton drew his own gun and arrested him. Violation of parole and all that - I suspect he's on his way back to Nebraska State even as I write this. There is definitely something strange going on here. I tested something yesterday. Passed a law mandating that all road damage should be immediately repaired, something simple that no one would object to. Easy enough to justify, what with the increased traffic the mills will bring in. There has been a pothole in the road outside my house for 15 years. I watched it all night until after midnight. Woke up before dawn, and the pothole was gone. Just gone, like it was never there. I checked the logs just in case, but there's no record of any maintenance crews even getting started yet. All of the roads seem in better shape too, not just the one outside my house. Tiny cracks, potholes, even tire marks. All gone. The laws in Cullen cannot be broken. I feel like I'm going nuts just writing it but I'm sure of it now. I tried speeding on the way to the town hall today, put my foot down as hard as I could. It stopped right at the point where the car hits 30, and didn't go even a fraction over. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get my foot to press down any harder. It was… unnerving. Like some force was preventing me from moving, like I couldn't control my own body. I've never felt such an awful sensation in my life. The more I think about it, the more I think the… situation here could be incredibly beneficial for Cullen. Something clearly unnatural is happening, and I'd be lying if I said that didn't make me a little nervous, but the possibilities! A town with no crime. A town where issues can be fixed instantly. The good we could do with such a gift! Oh, the mill deal went through. The mills are already beginning to re-open and the paperwork to make sure everyone has a job has gone through. This will be a great new start for Cullen! It's been a hectic few weeks. Other people have started noticing the… weirdness here, which is partially my fault. There were some logistical issues with the mills, none of the supplies or materials were delivered and have been held up for weeks. Stuck on a boat in the middle of the pacific or something. But every single person who would have been working at the mills turned up anyway. The story was the same from all of them, they felt like they had to be at the mill, even though there was nothing to do, and couldn't leave until the end of their shifts, no matter how hard they tried. It came up in a town meeting. Kate Massey brought it up, seemed hesitant at first, like everyone would think she was nuts. But as soon as she started talking, others starting chiming in. The same mill story, or about how they've been unable to speed in their cars or even swear in public. People started to panic, but I managed to reassure them that there was nothing to worry about and that we were looking into it. Truth is though, even if we were, I wouldn't know where to start. There was an… incident. Simon Sackwell came at me in the street while I was talking with Clayton about the situation. Started hurling abuse at me, said this weirdness was all my fault and that I'd damn us all in the eyes of god or some such nonsense. Reached into his pocket, clearly about to pull a gun, I could see the handle. Clayton obviously could too; he shot Sackwell where he stood, right in the chest. He just reacted, even though Sackwell could never have actually used his gun. I guess the same isn't true of police officers. What a waste. I've declared a State of Emergency. It might panic people more, but it gives me some interesting legislative power, which I've used to ban firearms within the town. That'll probably rile up the gun-nuts, but they'll see its for the best eventually. We won't have a repeat of this. People started leaving. I wish I could say I didn't blame them, but whatever happened to civic pride, loyalty to your home? Do they not realise the things we could do with this… whatever it is!? Over 500 people left in a week. I had to pass a law stopping anyone else from going, so now no one is allowed to leave the town. Cullen will be restored, dammit, and I won't let any narrow-minded fear get in the way of that. Mallings5 came to me today and told me people had been whispering about going to the press, or the feds or whoever else. At least I still have some friends left in town. I should have thought about it sooner, it's unlikely that someone hasn't blabbed about what's going on here to someone outside. Don't they realise what would happen if the government or the press got involved here? They'd turn Cullen into a circus! I've temporarily banned the use of phones and the internet until I can get a handle on things here. I'll find a way to set things right, reverse all these emergency laws and then Cullen will be better than ever. A group of military looking people in black trucks came into town today. Started asking a bunch of questions. They're going to try and cause trouble, I can sense it. Can't imagine there's much they can do though. The law is the law after all, and all men must follow it. I've asked John to keep an eye on them for me. Since the phones were shut down, I stopped receiving updates on the mill deliveries. Should have thought about that. I passed a law yesterday that simply read "the mills shall have the materials they need." Today, every one of them was fully stocked, as if out of nowhere. The people have been turning up to work there for weeks now, so at least they will have something to do. Hopefully this will begin to turn things around. John said those military folks were at the edge of town today, talking to someone on their radios! Goddamn interfering sons of bitches! I've passed a law banning anyone from talking to people on the outside at all, so hopefully that will solve that issue. The mills seem to be working. It might be my imagination, but people seem happier. Apparently everything they make is getting shipped somewhere, though no one knows where or how. But there's always plenty of raw material for them to work with. Few more weeks of this and things might be able to get back to normal around here. Had a meeting with that military lot today. I'll have to have a word with Sandra about why she booked that in. Anyway they came in here and started demanding information about all sorts of things, like they had any kind of authority in this town. I told them they should have just left well enough alone and minded their own business. They looked at me like I was nuts! The conversation was a bit more cordial after that, though nothing really came of it. They are going to keep interfering, I can feel it. I told them I'll think about what they've said - and I will, I'm not an unreasonable man! But I've been given a unique chance to make something of this town, and I won't have it wasted by small-minded military men. I agreed to a short meeting with them again tomorrow. Give everyone time to process the others views and all that. Maybe I'll be able to bring them around, but I doubt it. As I expected, the second meeting with that Sorsby fellow went nowhere. He demanded that I reverse all these laws and let the people abandon the town, I told him I would do no such thing. I won't be pushed around by meat-headed military fools. He flat out said he's going to be a problem. Judging by the look on his face, I think he would have shot me right there and then if he was able. I'll have to think of a solution. Obviously I can't just leave them running around town doing whatever they want, who knows what trouble they could cause. Why can't they just mind their own business! That bastard Sorsby and his friends nearly started a riot today! Riling people up, some nonsense about human rights and votes of no confidence! Don't these people realise I'm trying to do what's best for them! How can they all be so blind! Well, I'm going to put an end to this once and for all. First I'll get rid of these interlopers. and then I'll see what I can do about this talk of rebellion. Cullen is a good town, dammit, and I won't have it ruined by the ungrateful attitude of people afraid of a hard day's work! Analysis shows that, almost immediately following the final entry in the journal, a new entry was added to the recovered documentation regarding newly passed laws. The final law mandated that all military personnel leave the town immediately. The prevailing theory is that due to this final law directly contradicting the previous law regarding the ability for people to leave town, the end result was a reality failure or restructuring event, resulting in the loss of the town and its inhabitants, and the neutralisation of SCP-3088. Why Mayor Ronson's house and its contents remained is unknown. MTF Sigma-9 has officially been declared lost. Footnotes 1. Containment area was determined through the use of remote drones to prevent accidental crossing of the perimeter. 2. Elizabeth Mancha, Site Director of Site-189, the closest Foundation facility to Cullen. 3. Presumably Clayton Woodrow, the sheriff of Cullen. 4. The only existing record of anyone in Cullen by the name of Damien is Damien Waltz, arrested four times for violent assault, including one count against Mayor Thomas Ronson, for which he was imprisoned two years prior. 5. Presumably John Mallings, who records show managed Ronson's mayoral campaign. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3088" by Mortos, from the SCP Wiki.

[SCP-4054] The Seventh Door SCP-4054 is The Seventh Door, an unlicensed platform adventure game released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1988. Darrington, North Carolina (USA), circa 1961. Item #: SCP-3089 Special Containment Procedures: A Foundation-operated bot (I/O-SILVER) is to monitor online communities for markers associated with SCP-3089. Should a community infected with SCP-3089 be identified, a joint operation involving MTF Mu-4 ("Debuggers"), MTF Nu-13 ("Rasczak's Roughnecks"), and MTF Gamma-5 ("Red Herrings") is to be conducted to contain all members of this community and remove all evidence of its existence from the public record. Prior to shedding their epidermis, SCP-3089-A instances are to be confined to standard human containment cells. Instances in Stage II are to be remotely monitored by Foundation medical staff on a 48-hour cycle to monitor their progression. Stage III instances are to be transferred to HTH containment cells1. Description: SCP-3089 is a phenomenon that emerges among communities focused on developing methods to acquire physical, financial, and social prosperity. Although its precise pathology is not yet understood, affected communities are identified by several markers — the most prominent of which is a fixation on achieving material success via the application of rituals associated with the Cétlaidí, or "Singers" (a Druidic cult active in Ireland between the 15th and 19th centuries). SCP-3089-A instance (Stage III, post-autopsy). SCP-3089-A instances are members of an affected community afflicted with SCP-3089-B — a form of chimerism incorporating exogenous genetic material from the Cicadetta montana, or New Forest cicada. SCP-3089-B emerges in accordance to the following progression: Stage I: Chrysalis. The instance enters a state of severely depressed metabolism, brain activity, heart-rate, and body temperature. Over a period of 3-6 hours, the instance's epidermis hardens into a dense, brittle shell. Stage II: Metamorphosis. Numerous small internal teratomas manifest within the instance. Over a period of 2-3 weeks, these tumors expand and dissolve surrounding soft tissue, replacing all functionality. Stage III: Emergence. Once the majority of soft tissue has been replaced, the instance exits its dormant state, exuviates its outer epidermal shell, and emerges. It is now non-communicative, and will attempt to burrow into soil via any means at its disposal. At Stage III, numerous organs (including eyes, lungs, and internal genitalia) are now vestigial; examination of the brain shows severe deviations from topographical norms. SCP-3089 was first discovered by the Foundation in 1961 following the disappearance of an entire town's population in North Carolina. This town has since been demolished, and the region surrounding it purchased for observation.

You are His champion. He put you here to rise… to rise up and achieve total victory." "Many of you can think of places in your lives where you have not yet risen. Where you are not yet victorious. Marriage. Finances. Health. But do not fret, my friends. God wants you to rise. He has cleared the path for you. It is one littered with His earthly treasures; to claim them, you need only to shed your old selves and be reborn."

"Both Heaven and earth are God's possessions; we are but tenants upon His property. Just as the angels are God's Heavenly servants, so are we His earthly ones." "In chapter twenty-five of Matthew, verse thirty — the Parable of the Talents — God speaks: 'And cast ye the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' What does this tell us? That the Lord casts aside those wicked servants who are content with mediocrity; those who do not seek to enrich their Master's possessions. Those who do not seek total victory." "We are God's investment; it falls upon us to be a profitable one. He gave His only begotten Son, surrendered Him to the earth, so that He might rise from it and grant us life everlasting. We must demonstrate the wisdom and glory of this sacrifice, this investment." "Now, some of you have expressed concerns over the new sacraments. A few — I will not say who, but a few — have even called them sacrilege. And yet, have we not prospered? Have these same nay-sayers — again, I will not speak their names — but have these same 'Doubting Thomases' not profited from our good works?"

Now, I'm giving lectures in front of my Porsche, inside my six-car garage, attached to my 2.3 million dollar home. Do you want to know how I do it? All I had to do was climb the ladder. All I had to do was think positively." [00:08:50]: "Ladders exist so you can climb them. That's what ladders are for, people! The universe is telling you it wants you to prosper. You just have to visualize success — and success will come. That's the power of positive thinking." [00:12:09]: "If you're not going for the top of that ladder, then this video isn't for you. Bye! Sorry to have wasted your time. Successful people don't deal with losers. Only keep watching if you want to achieve complete mastery over your life."

The community was later determined to be affected by SCP-3089. [BEGIN LOG] VOICE 1: One of the things a lot of us don't seem to get — not even veterans — is that women are wired to want to sleep with you. This isn't some sort of 'Dumbo's Magic Feather' confidence trick, either. I'm just talking neurology. I'm just talking science. It's just how we're wired. VOICE 2: Right. I mean, yeah, a lot of people don't — VOICE 1: But when you approach a woman and you're hoping to — VOICE 2: It's like she unconsciously picks up on it. VOICE 1: — sleep with her — right, yeah. It's similar to Van Eck Phreaking, which means you can block it. That's Mystery's stick, with his hats. He lines them with steel mesh. (laughing) You think I'm joking. But yeah, an alternative approach is to retrain your brain. Know you're sleeping with her. Because if you're hoping — VOICE 2: That means you're selling. VOICE 1: Right! And women aren't looking to buy. They're looking to be bought. VOICE 2: (laughing) Jesus, that sounds bad. VOICE 1: I know, right? But yeah. It's just science. VOICE 2: Another thing you've mentioned before is how — how you should never aim low. You should always — VOICE 1: Oh. Right. VOICE 2: — you should always aim for the ten. VOICE 1: Right. A lot of us walk into a room, see a ten, do a basic probability matrix, and tell ourselves: 'Okay, I've got no chance, I'll focus on the 7 or 8 LSE in the corner'. And that's just bullshit. Aim for the ten. You always aim for the ten. Because if you don't — VOICE 2: Then you're not trying to be the best you that you can possibly be. VOICE 1: Right. Exactly. Always go for the ten. Never sell yourself short. I mean, we're all products of evolution — a four billion year old iterative process dedicated to perfecting our ability to pass on our genes. We weren't put here to go for sevens and eights, you know? We're not here to win 2nd place. Go platinum or go extinct. Be a champion — or get out of the champion's way. If you're not gonna play hard, then you might as well just remove yourself from the gene-pool. VOICE 2: (laughing) Okay there, Richard Dawkins. So, I have to ask — VOICE 1: About the bug-rattler, right? VOICE 2: Yeah. How'd you guess? VOICE 1: A lot of people have been asking me about it. Here, I've got one on me. VOICE 2: Uh, wow. So what — [STATIC] VOICE 2: Jesus, that's loud! VOICE 1: Yeah. It's the preserved remains of a Cicadetta montana, which is just a fancy word for those really big, loud bugs that burrow and leave their shells everywhere. See these structures on the side? Those are 'tymbals'. The male cicada uses them to attract mates. (laughing) Well, I do, too. VOICE 2: This seriously works? VOICE 1: Yeah. This is actually — I actually came across this when I was doing research for my next book, Negging Your Immune System: How To Use Pick-Up Techniques To Win At Life. VOICE 2: (laughing) That's one hell of a title. VOICE 1: Ain't it, though? My publicist came up with it. She's fucking amazing. Anyway, yeah, the book's all about applying seduction techniques more broadly throughout your life. It's crazy how this stuff can apply everywhere — you can use the same tricks in finances, health — even to develop yourself spiritually. VOICE 2: (laughing) …you're not going to try and pick up God, are you? VOICE 1: (laughing) I mean, if he were a chick, I probably would. VOICE 2: So, this bug-rattler — you figured this trick out from your studies? VOICE 1: Yeah. Here, you can keep it, I've got a couple. Just, ah — VOICE 2: Oh, cool. VOICE 1: — ah, don't — don't use it around the same chick too many times, y'know? If you do — sometimes they'll end up… (laughing) They'll start chittering and hissing, shit like that. VOICE 2: Oh, wow. VOICE 1: (laughing) Yeah, it's — VOICE 2: That's pretty, uh — VOICE 1: It's kind of gross, yeah. So just be responsible with it, y'know? VOICE 2: Right. I will, thanks.

INCIDENT REPORT INCIDENT #: 3089-409 DATE OF OCCURRENCE: 2017/11/01 A Foundation agent (Daniel Mitchell) performing a routine monthly patrol within the vicinity of Darrington, North Carolina noted the appearance of several sinkholes along the outskirts of the region. Further investigation uncovered an extensive network of tunnels extending several hundred kilometers outward before reaching the surface. A geological survey has determined that many of these tunnels are approximately four decades old. Although a complete exploration of this space has yet to be conducted, preliminary searches have uncovered approximately 1.1 tons of semi-preserved organic animal material. This material is composed of severely desiccated dermis2 tissue. Genetic testing reveals the presence of both human and Cicadetta montana (or New Forest cicada) DNA. As of this date, all previous inhabitants of Darrington have been tentatively designated as PoI-3089-1 through -985. An investigation into their current whereabouts is ongoing. Footnotes 1.

Related articles: You Ain't No Family Potato Girl Project Kenowhere Central Volunteer Hub by DolphinSlugchugger and scarhaver The Abyss Gazes Back (And It's ASCII On A CRT Screen) by Lt Flops Item #: SCP-3090 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3090 is to be kept in a standard humanoid containment cell at Site-17. Personal electronic devices, such as cell phones, computers, and handheld video game consoles are not allowed in a 12m radius of SCP-3090 except during testing periods. SCP-3090 is to have a psychological evaluation every Tuesday with Dr. August Lichen and Junior Psychologist Blake Maxson Yamagusuku. Revised Containment Procedures 02/18/17: Mobile Task Force Kappa-10 ("Skynet") are responsible for locating entities suspected to be SCP-3090 or in possession of abilities similar to SCP-3090, due to the possibility of SCP-3090's self-termination being a planned containment breach. Description: SCP-3090 is a humanoid of indeterminate race and age. The head has been replaced with a detachable television set. This television can only be removed by SCP-3090. When turned on by pressing the powered button or reconnecting it to SCP-3090's body, a pixelated logo shows up in large pink font reading "Ms. Mad About Video Games, by Gamers Against Weed", replaced then by various text characters assembled into a facsimile of a face, dependent on its mood. When separated, SCP-3090's neck terminates in a standard 5-15 electrical socket. This state of separation also renders it unable to communicate or interact with others meaningfully. Any interactive media in a 10m radius of SCP-3090 becomes an instance of SCP-3090-1. An icon of SCP-3090 will generate on the bottom-left corner of the screen during gameplay. Playing SCP-3090-1 induces a catatonic state on the player when their avatar or character is terminated or otherwise enters a fail state. This reverts upon resumption of play, or if the instance of SCP-3090-1 ceases operation. Subjects regaining consciousness report feelings of dissociation and identifying with their digital avatar. SCP-3090 controls the graphical output appearing on-screen, altering it spontaneously. This is usually done in the form of minor graphical adjustments not present in the program's code. SCP-3090 reports fatigue after long-term or repeated activation of its anomalous effects. Programs with more intensive graphical appearance also cause SCP-3090 to become strained. Recovery: The Foundation was alerted to SCP-3090's existence after intercepting police reports of a suspicious individual causing a disturbance outside of a GameStop in Las Vegas, Nevada. Said figure held a sign that read "We can be the generation that ends gaming addiction forever". SCP-3090's sweatshirt contained a document consistent with others associated with various Misters from Gamers Against Weed. Document 3090-A: Holy Heck!

SCP-3090 and its icon were unresponsive until Metwaad touched the controller while unplugging it, when the icon responded to the controller being touched and changed the graphics in-game to appear slightly more exaggerated. Changes disappeared upon the controller being unplugged. Test 2 Game: Two copies of Pokémon Crystal on two Game Boy Advances Player(s): D-7215 and D-3015 Notes: D-7215's game had graphics typical of a Pokémon Ruby or Sapphire game. "[Pokémon] fainted!" text was replaced with "[Pokémon] died!" D-3015's game had graphics typical of a Pokémon Crystal game, but red pixels appeared on the Pokémon as hit points decreased. Aesthetic alterations are variable depending on the subject playing. Both D-Class had a team of three Pokémon each. Wounds began to manifest on subjects which were consistent with the injuries sustained by their respective Pokémon. SCP-3090 would then choose a new Pokémon for the subject, reversing their state. Text transcribed from D-3015's game follows. "Enemy TYPHLOSION used FLAME WHEEL!" "VILEPLUME is hurt by the burn." "VILEPLUME used TOXIC!" "Enemy TYPHLOSION is poisoned!" "Enemy TYPHLOSION used SWIFT!" Holographic ninja stars appeared and sliced through D-3015's body, with blood appearing to pour onto the floor. D-7215 notices and jumps out of his chair, dropping the Game Boy Advance onto the floor and refusing to play further. "VILEPLUME died!" "Enemy TYPHLOSION is hurt by poison!" D-7215 falls to the ground, complaining of a stomachache. SCP-3090 turned off the game at this point, patting D-3015's head before moving back to where it sat. Interview 3090-A: Interviewed: SCP-3090 Interviewer: Dr. August Lichen Foreword: Interview done soon after Test 2. SCP-3090 had refused to speak to Foundation personnel up to this point, where it relented to an interview. <Begin Log, 13:21> Dr. Lichen: Good afternoon, Ms. Mad About Video Games. SCP-3090: Hmm… I don't think that's such a good handle. My moms gave me an actual name, you know. Lichen: What did they call you, then? SCP-3090: I'm… not sure I want to share, actually. It was endearing, but embarrassing. Lichen: Alright then. Let's talk about the last test we did. Why did you shut off both Game Boys in the middle of Test 2? SCP-3090: If I didn't, they would've kept fighting, and I don't like fights. They're not fun, and games are supposed to be fun. Neither of them looked like they had fun, as well. Lichen: But what people experience when they lose or die in a game is, well… [SCP-3090's head displays an ellipsis, remaining silent for a full minute.] Lichen: How do you make things happen outside of the game? SCP-3090: It's a gimmick. Good graphics. Everyone loves good graphics. I do too, even if I love playing older games. I think all the good movies these days are in 3D, so why shouldn't games be the same way? Lichen: Then what about the state people are put in when they lose? SCP-3090: I'm not sure… maybe they're so immersed in their game, they end up believing it impacts them as well. Whenever I play games, nothing happens. I'm not a human anymore, so I can't speak to that. I do enhance the graphics to appear more realistic, but those are holograms. They shouldn't be able to harm people. Lichen: So let me ask again. Why do you end up making people go through that state? SCP-3090: [SCP-3090's head displays an ellipsis, remaining silent for another minute. As Dr. Lichen is about to ask another question it speaks.] It's not exactly an ideal situation, is it? Maybe it's because people are angriest right when they die in a video game, or lose. It cuts down on aggression and hostility so you have the time to cool down and not be aggressive. That's what I assume, anyway. I never bothered to ask. Lichen: Do you remember who created you? What are your earliest memories? SCP-3090: My mothers. It feels too weird calling them creators. I stayed in one of their places and got to play all the time. It's fine for me to play all the time, since I don't need to do anything else, but I made sure she didn't burn herself out. Anyway… they wanted to take me to a GameStop and win a video game tournament. Which was fine, since I'm very, very good at gaming. I won, and of course people had all of, uh, that happen to them. They didn't give me the Switch that was the prize. One of the other contestants tried to take my head off because they thought it was part of a costume. It didn't come off so I took it off myself. Everyone… freaked out, and when they put it back on me in a panic, they locked me out while they called the police. [SCP-3090 sighs.] I tried to follow my mothers out but I realized too late that they already left, and ended up locked outside of the store. I miss her… Lichen: What did she or your other mom look like? We can have her come here for you. SCP-3090: Hmm… I'd rather see myself home. [SCP-3090 displayed a prohibition sign, refusing to respond to any further inquires.] <End Log, 13:26> Test 8 Game: Animal Crossing: New Leaf for the Nintendo 3DS Player(s): D-8000 Notes: Since Animal Crossing: New Leaf is a game without failstates, it was hypothesized that no abnormalities other than the expected graphical changes would occur. SCP-3090 appeared delighted to watch the game, stating that this was its favorite game, as well as being non-violent. D-8000 was instructed to play until told to stop by Foundation staff. At 01:00:00, the lower-left icon displayed a text popup which was also spoken aloud by SCP-3090, saying "You've been playing for a while. Maybe you should take a break?" It repeated this phrase at 01:15:00, 01:30:00, and 01:45:00. At 02:00:00, it changed to "You look tired. You should give your eyes a break." It repeated this phrase at 02:10:00, 02:20:00, 02:30:00. At 02:45:00, it stated "You're so tired. Please stop." The 3DS is observed to have a pink substance leaking out of it, then unidentified. D-8000 was instructed by Technical Researcher Metwaad to continue playing. At 2:50:00, it stated "You're overexerting yourself. Please stop!" as the icon switched to appearing exasperated. The substance became thicker and more opaque. At 03:00:00, the 3DS ceased functioning as SCP-3090 collapsed, a buffering symbol displaying on its screen. Incident Report 3090/890 Involved Individuals: SCP-3090, SCP-890 Report: With the approval of Site Director Everett Mann, both SCP-3090 and the 3DS were brought to SCP-890 for surgery. According to SCP-890, the 3DS was complaining of symptoms consistent with heavy metal poisoning. It determined that the victim had [REDACTED], though chemical testing of the substance revealed that it was non-anomalous and able to be replicated. The 3DS also had "contusions from [regular usage]," but this was unrelated to the patient's cause of death. SCP-3090 did not receive surgery, as SCP-890 determined that it was neither similar to other patients nor "a simple mass of meat". It advised personnel that based on similar experiences, SCP-3090 only needed to rest for approximately a few days before returning to its original state. Interview 3090-B: Interviewed: SCP-3090 Interviewers: Dr. August Lichen, Junior Psychologist Blake Maxson Yamagusuku Foreword: Interview done one day after SCP-3090 returned to its original state. <Begin Log, 16:40> Junior Psychologist Yamagusuku: Hello. My name is Blake Maxson Yamagusuku, and I'll be here to talk with you along with Dr. Lichen. I know what happened must have been very difficult, but hopefully I can help. SCP-3090: Hmm… sure. I decided on a name as well. Heather. Dr. Lichen: Heather. That's a good name. Heather, do you want to talk about your experience? SCP-3090: No. I would like if you don't have that happen to me much. Will you tell me when I'm able to go home? I'm feeling fine enough. Yamagusuku: We're still trying to locate your parents, as well as see if you're fine enough to go back home. I know you don't want to talk about what happened, but any sort of information could help us if it was that new of an experience to you. SCP-3090: Then… I can try. When the guy played too much Animal Crossing, I started to feel really worried for him. I think I got so worried that I got sick as well. Even my mom doesn't play games for that long, and she streams for an audience! When I — [At this point, Dr. Lichen's phone went off, prompting him to take the phone out of his pocket and look. Unlocking the phone opened up a game application. An icon immediately appeared on the bottom-left screen, unnoticed by Dr. Lichen at the moment.] Lichen: My bad, 3090 — Heather. I thought I had gotten a te — [SCP-3090's screen immediately changes to a flashing exclamation point. The phone's screen instantly cracks accompanied by the sound of glass breaking.] Lichen: What — SCP-3090: Please… please pay attention. This is not the time to play video games. [Conversation halted for 19 seconds as Lichen handed Yamagusuku his phone, making nervous hums as Yamagusuku leaves the room. Lichen clears his throat before continuing the interview.] Lichen: Right, sorry. I didn't realize my phone was in my pocket. Please continue. SCP-3090: [SCP-3090's screen changes to a face with two X's for eyes.] You called me a number. That never sounds nice, regardless of the context. [Silence for twelve seconds, as Yamagusuku returns to the room.] You don't plan to have me leave here, right? Yamagusuku: You'll… you'll be staying here for an indefinite amount of time. SCP-3090: Then what about my parents? Yamagusuku: We don't know where they are either. We've been looking for them ever since we brought you here. [SCP-3090 leans on the table as its display turns into a buffering symbol, refusing to respond to further inquires.] <End Log, 16:49> Test 12 Game: Pauper: Rise of the Monster King Player(s): D-2091 Notes: Testing done to see if anomalous games would be affected by SCP-3090, as well as display consistent results with other video games. SCP-3090 displayed knowledge concerning SCP-951, and was interested in interacting with it. Initial anomalous effects displayed as normal after loading a previous save file. An excerpted transcript of gameplay follows with extraneous details cut. A full transcript can be given upon request by Technical Researcher Metwaad. SCP-951: Hello! Do you want to go to Waterlantis today? There's a monster or two over there that you might want to recruit. D-2091: Sure, let's go. SCP-951: Something seems different this time around. Did you use a cheat code? You don't need to do that! D-2091: I haven't done anything. We should get out of the Magma Caves. 20 minutes later, a random encounter started. Shortly after the battle started, SCP-951 took on the appearance of the character Lucas from the game Mother 3 as he appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, as opposed to the usual random blocks of pixels. SCP-951 defeated the enemy monster in one hit, immediately reverting back to its original state. SCP-951: Umm… Why did I look like that? D-2091: You noticed? SCP-951: Yeah! I don't know what you did there, but I'm not a fan of those changes. I've been making the game more fun for us, but I feel weird being messed with like that. SCP-3090: [At this point, SCP-3090's icon interjected.] But you look cooler this way. Shouldn't you be happy about that? SCP-951: Hey, who is that? What is she doing here? I thought it was just us! D-2091: You are a good friend, but… I had another join us. I thought I might introduce you to her. SCP-3090: Huh? [SCP-3090's icon and face display anger.] I don't know you! I'm here against my will and you have the gall to call me your friend? SCP-951: She makes me really nervous! I don't want to play with you while she's around. Please turn off the game, and next time, don't bring your other friends. Postscript: SCP-3090's mood plummeted considerably for the next two days, remaining uncooperative during testing. Test 15 Notes: Following the most recent interview session, in conjunction with Project Crowdreader, SCP-3090 was prompted to make a blank Twitter account. Eleven images were discovered, two of which were classified information. Nine images were printed. Three of the eleven images were related to the Danganronpa media series, to which SCP-3090 responded "Me". One image was related to the video game Persona 5, featuring the character Morgana with text on the top reading "You must be tired after today." and text on the bottom reading "Let's go to sleep.". Twitter account was subsequently deleted to prevent an intelligence breach. Test 16 Game: A game of Super Mario Bros altered to play an aural memetic kill agent for 50 seconds after touching a power up known as the Super Star. Player(s): D-8052 Notes: SCP-3090 was made unaware of the game's nature during testing. D-8052 experienced a stroke, although her hands continued to operate and play the game. Of its own volition, SCP-3090 goes to take the controller from D-8052, but it remains in her grip. When Mario dies, despite death not being caused by SCP-3090's anomaly, D-8052 revived. D-8052 re-expired when the power was shut down remotely. SCP-3090 was negatively affected after testing, remaining silent during the next two interviews and only displaying a prohibition sign until the subsequent interview. Interview 3090-F: Interviewed: SCP-3090 Interviewers: Dr. August Lichen, Junior Psychologist Blake Yamagusuku Foreword: This was the first interview after three weeks following Test 16 where SCP-3090 was willing to communicate with interviewers again, appearing less distressed. <Begin Log, 17:00> Junior Psychologist Yamagusuku: Good afternoon, Heather. Are you feeling any better today? SCP-3090: [sighs] I think so. Please let me go home. I'm tired of all of the things you guys have me do. Dr. Lichen: We need to know the full extent of what your abilities so that we can release you to the public without any fear or worry of your harming others. Even if it's an accident. [SCP-3090 produces audio and video static for 6 seconds.] Yamagusuku: I understand that the testing isn't great. We can reduce it greatly for you. The important thing is to make sure you're doing fine mentally. It can be difficult to adjust to staying here. A lot of the people I talk to feel that way. That's why we want to make sure you're well. SCP-3090: Mmm. [SCP-3090's face changes to an ellipsis for ten seconds before turning to a neutral expression.] When I was living back home with my mom, she helped me learn how to design video games. We were working on a beat 'em up, something like Street Fighter but in 3D and more story-oriented. So like God Hand. But gay. Lichen: Gay? SCP-3090: In both ways. I was pretty gay before being like… this. [SCP-3090 gestures to its body.] Still am. I don't think that matters much? Anyway. I liked learning how to make games almost as much as playing them. But, truth be told, it always felt like a weird thing to do. I can already literally affect people through games and edit them myself… making them just feels less tangible. Besides, beat 'em ups are too violent for me. They're fun but I like more calmer stuff, like puzzle games, and visual novels. Sigh. Lichen: Have you always disliked violent games? It seems to clash with the name. SCP-3090: Yeah. Even fictional characters getting hurt isn't fun, let alone real people. Lichen: Do you think it has anything to do with your abilities? SCP-3090: I did have a say in it, though I think the, uh. Execution of said… stuff I can do got messed up a little bit along the way. I don't blame my moms though. Yamagusuku: That sort of creation is hard to perfect, after all. It's sort of like magic, in a way. They certainly did their best. SCP-3090: They did. [sighs] I miss them. I think I'm done with talking today. <End Log, 17:04> Test 20 Game: Tetris (Game Boy, 1989) on a Game Boy Advance Player(s): SCP-3090 Notes: SCP-3090 started a new game and waited for the blocks to fall on top of each other. As a pillar of tetromino-shaped blocks manifested, SCP-3090's icon moved to an empty space where the blocks fell and crushed it, with the icon disappearing on impact. SCP-3090 fell unconscious. Starting a new game did not revive SCP-3090. After three hours, SCP-3090's body disappeared, with Document 3090-B and Document 3090-C manifesting in its space. Document 3090-B: if die, then revive somewhere else failsafe. sorry mags; we'll find you asap Document 3090-C is a GameStop Powerup Rewards Pro card. Aside from the text "Super High School Level" appearing on the top of the card, it is otherwise non-anomalous, and able to be used at a GameStop. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3090" by Decibelles, th4nkyoub3n, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3091 | euclid | SCP-3091 Item #: SCP-3091 Special Containment Procedures: As of ██/██/20██, operation of SCP-3091 is to be maintained as long as possible. The only in-person operations allowed with SCP-3091 at this time are: A) Monitoring the built-in measurement device outputs from SCP-3091, which are deemed safe at this time. B) Maintenance and repair of SCP-3091’s power supply and “field generators”, following Report 3091-89A submitted to the O5 Council on ██/██/20██. The documentation on these devices is considered sufficient that their maintenance can be reasonably attempted. SCP-3091 is considered temporally unstable. Localized time dilation or contraction events and minor retrocausality are not unusual. Personnel working in SCP-3091 are to be trained in DMWT “Best Practices in Temporally Unstable Locations”, and to heed these practices while working within SCP-3091, especially with regards to information security and distinguishing expected from unexpected disturbances. Due to particle radiation, time spent inside the facility should be minimized. Testing involving the “Red Room” facility within SCP-3091 is forbidden by order of the O5 Council. Currently, investigations are to be made only by studying the existing documentation, rather than taking any actions that may interfere with SCP-3091’s functions. Description: SCP-3091 is a massive underground structure located at ██.██.██.██ under the Queen Maud Gulf Bird Sanctuary in Nunavut, Canada. The facility is accessible via 14 camouflaged access points from the surface. It has a total area of 1.05 million m2 and occupies four floors. Electricity and heat are generated from geothermal boreholes. Equipment in the site appears to have been designed for sustained function without human intervention, but is subject to normal wear and tear, and has been maintained since discovery by the Foundation. SCP-3091 appears to have been constructed to support Large Event Chamber-001 (refer to Document 3091-AB-Schematics), a spherical chamber measuring 14 meters in diameter (“The Red Room”). The area is temporally unstable. Typical examples of events include: Researchers spending thirty minutes in vicinity of the Red Room, which appeared to outside observers as 3 hours Computer processor cycles repeating Radio transmissions arriving before they were sent The instability field is strongest around the Red Room, and is virtually unnoticeable 30 meters out from the facility. This corresponds to a high background free tachyon concentration (1,000 times the global average close to the Red Room.) Notable features of SCP-3091 Field Generators 36 identical pieces of highly complex machinery are located equidistant around the chamber. Their sole purpose is to continuously emit one or more energy fields consisting of: UV light at extremely high energy levels Coherent beams of ionizing radiation (somehow contained and redirected by receiving components on adjacent devices, making escaped radiation comparable to background levels.) Thermal energy (used to maintain internal structures within the barrier containing xenon gas at a critical point.) Tachyon fields (see (Xyank, 2005)) Additional energetic force of an unknown nature, consisting of either unknown elementary particles or photon-like discrete energy packets. Interactions of this gas with the critical-point xenon create a previously unknown phenomenon [DATA EXPUNGED] hypothesized relation to the gravitational anomaly. Given Document 3091-AD-DE, which is a set of recovered blueprints associated with all SCP-3091 major structures, the actual structure of the “field generators” is well understood, and may even be replicable, with the exception of [DATA EXPUNGED] superconductor materials [DATA EXPUNGED] known relation to anomalous substance ██████-רת. The purposes of the individual components remains unknown, as is the intention or result of the entire field. Replication has been proposed but not attempted, due to the possibility of recreating the central anomaly. The field is generated in a continuous fashion while allowing viewing windows at certain “Observation Points.” Hypothesized Purpose: The Field Generators are arranged to project a field around the interior of the Red Room. This field may create, contain, or interact in an unknown way with the central anomaly. The Red Room Anomaly Six Observation Points, which include transparent windows comprised of plate glass plus unknown materials, look directly into the Red Room. Numerous instruments in each observation stations also appear to monitor the physical conditions inside the anomaly. As far as can be determined (measurements have also been corroborated where possible via optical methods), physical conditions inside the anomaly include: Temperatures of over 1000K Internal conditions consisting of matter at a supercritical point (consistent with extremely high temperatures and pressures) Opaque substance with a faint red glow Elemental composition of oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, various metals, and other elements, many in organic compounds. Small solid metal objects made of iridium, tungsten, and tantalum. Other metal pieces may have been present but melted in the extreme conditions. Extremely temporally unstable (Hypothesized) Hypothesized Purpose: Unknown Surrounding Facilities Partial furnishings indicate that other parts of the facility include offices, storage areas, and maintenance units for the field generators and site at large. Intact heating and plumbing indicates that the facility was designed for year-round usage by humans. Several nearby satellite facilities are entirely unfurnished, but based on plumbing, appear to be dormitories capable of housing up to ten people. Furniture or signs of life (including DNA evidence) are absent. The entirety of Document SCP-3091-AD-DE, representing much of our understanding of SCP-3091, was recovered from the upper drawer of a file cabinet in peripheral office J34 (see map for location.) No other written materials, relevant to SCP-3091 or not, have been found within SCP-3091. Hypothesized Purpose: SCP-3091 was designed for human monitoring and habitation, although it was never occupied. CLEARANCE LEVEL 3 CLEARANCE LEVEL 3 Conditions within the Red Room have increased in discrete amounts since SCP-3091’s discovery. Instruments attached to the room have recorded 244 individual leaps in pressure and temperature, of the same magnitude, at apparently random intervals. The magnitude increases are quite small compared to the overall pressure, and field generators are so far unaffected by these changes. Analysis suggests that intensity and frequency of temporal anomalies surrounding SCP-3091 have been slowly increasing since discovery. Researcher ██████ ████████ points out that the internal Red Room conditions can be explained as the effects of an enormous amount of temporally unstable organic and metallic matter, compressed as to fit into the space determined by the field generator. In this model, the red glow is due to the Draper Phenomenon, in which material heated above 798K glows from blackbody radiation. The occasional increases in internal conditions would be consistent with additional matter entering the space. Analysis of the tachyon field as extrapolated from Doctor Xyank’s work for the Temporal Department has lead to the conclusion that matter within SCP-3091 is from after our present. > input id ARE YOU SURE YOU WISH TO PROCEED? Y/N ACCESS TO THIS RECORD IS MONITORED Document SCP-3091-AD-DE is machine-printed. It includes some hand-written notes, but these seem to have been photocopied on from previous materials. There is exactly one hand-drawn portion of the document, drawn with an ink pen on the last page. It has been expunged from the maintenance versions of Document SCP-3091-AD-DE available at lower clearance levels. Image SCP-3091-AD-DE-X >Y PROCEED YOUR ACCESS REQUESTS HAVE BEEN FORWARDED TO SITE COMMAND Based on this and other gathered data, Researcher ██████ ████████ has made the following causal model for the Red Room anomaly: At an unknown point in the future, a method of traveling through time is invented and popularized. Entities using this method attempt to “travel” to before SCP-3091’s activation. Entities moving backward in the timestream to past SCP-3091’s active period are “caught” in the field emitted by SCP-3091 and redirected to the Red Room. Diagram This model suggests that SCP-3091 functions as a temporal “funnel trap”, redirecting entities moving through the timestream to or before its active period, into the Red Room. In this model, the internal matter within SCP-3091 is composed of possibly human entities and any equipment or temporal devices that may have accompanied them, which is consistent with recovered data. If this is true, we cannot de-activate SCP-3091 (or allow it to be deactivated.) While this object has prevented potential catastrophic damage to our time stream in the forms of paradoxes, malicious attack, or other interventions, if the machine were switched off, the inactivation of the fields would cause a massive explosion that would certainly prevent its reactivation. Any arrival of sentient beings or devices while the machine is switched off could drastically alter our reality and cause incalculable or even existential damage to human life and the timeline. In fact, should SCP-3091 become damaged, it would even be prudent to construct a means to replicate it. - O5-7 Where the hell did this come from? - O5-2 Addendum SCP-3091-1: Failed attempts to determine provenance of SCP-3091 No public records from the nearby area for available history report any information on the construction or existence of SCP-3091. No individual or entity is known to possess similar technology to the functional parts of SCP-3091. Foundation moles within higher echelons of the Chaos Insurgency were instructed to search their private internal documentation and look for knowledge regarding SCP-3091. No results were found. During this process, one of the moles, Agent 4-November, was discovered by Insurgency leadership. 31 teeth and a jar containing brain tissue in formalin (both matching Agent 4-November) were delivered to Site 19 anonymously informing the Foundation of this fact, along with a note disclaiming responsibility for the anomaly. An informal trade with the Global Occult Coalition was scheduled, exchanging an operative previously held in Foundation custody for information regarding SCP-3091. After extensively searching their documentation, including that of multiple paramilitary groups, the Coalition concluded they had no information on the matter. Multiple major government intelligence agencies were consulted discreetly about the technologies found in SCP-3091. No connection or leads unveiled. A Serpent’s Hand connection was asked to search for information surrounding the anomaly, or its creators, via whatever means were accessible. A small amount of classified Foundation knowledge of interest to the connection was provided in exchange. Connection reported to be “surprised” by the lack of information in their databases, but claimed that the reason for their surprise was not required as of the terms of their agreement. A thorough search of SCP-3091 was conducted. The following was noted: Shelving in storage rooms was constructed with triangular allen screws, identical to the type made in-house and used frequently in Foundation construction. These types of screws are also available commercially. Hallway construction and heating pipe arrangement is somewhat similar to a proposed architectural design for underground Foundation sites from 1972, although other pieces have been modified. These designs were never implemented in any site. CLEARANCE LEVEL 4 CLEARANCE LEVEL 4 An extensive internal review was implemented, focusing especially on nearby sites and the Temporal Division. At the end, the Internal Task Force concluded that internal subterfuge was unlikely, as there were no resources unaccounted for that could provide either the budget, materials, or research required to create SCP-3091. The following has been proposed: SCP-3091 is itself a temporally stabilized location (aside from the Red Room anomaly) that has been displaced from a future point. SCP-3091 was constructed by another unknown agency or entity, possibly from a future point, using advanced technology without outside support. SCP-3091 is a ‘relic’ or ‘holdover’ from a previous [THE REST OF THIS FILE IS NOT AVAILABLE AT YOUR CLEARANCE LEVEL.] |
SCP-3092 | euclid | An instance of SCP-3092-A after being "tranquilized" during a containment breach. Item #: SCP-3092 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3092 is to be contained in an empty room equipped with a single compatible power outlet. It is not to be plugged in or stocked with toys unless actively being tested. Testing with SCP-3092 must be preapproved by at least one Level 3 staff member, and at least one Foundation agent armed with a net launcher mock tranquilizer rifle (see Addendum 3092-01 and -02) must be present in order to subdue and contain resultant SCP-3092-A instances. SCP-3092-A instances are to be contained individually in standard containment kennels modified with two additional locks, at least one of which should be biometrically operated, in order to prevent further containment breaches. They are to be provided amenities in exchange for compliant behaviour, but none that could serve as tools or aids in an escape attempt. Should one or more SCP-3092-A instances successfully escape containment, a team of agents armed with net launchers mock tranquilizer rifles (see Addendum 3092-01 and -02) should sweep the Site until they are recontained, and all personnel should be notified of the situation, be aware of their surroundings and report any suspicious activity or SCP-3092-A attacks immediately. No plush toys are permitted within 200 meters of any SCP-3092-A instance outside of testing purposes. Description: SCP-3092 is a Black Tie Toys-brand arcade claw machine measuring 1.8 meters tall, 0.8 meters wide and 0.9 meters deep, and weighing approximately 144 kilograms while unstocked. The machine's body and mechanical parts are all non-anomalous in nature, primarily composed of steel, plastic, and various electronics, all possessing wear and tear consistent with multiple years of regular usage.1 When provided power and coins of valid United States currency, SCP-3092 may be operated as is standard for commercially available claw machines. Its anomalous properties only activate whenever the operator successfully picks up one or more plush toys with the claw and deposits them in SCP-3092's prize chute. At this point, the respective plush toys will immediately transform into instances of SCP-3092-A. SCP-3092-A instances are cotton-stuffed felt plush gorillas, possessing no identifying tags or logos, sitting at roughly 0.3 meters tall and weighing 0.4 kilograms. They are sapient, communicative,2 and capable of sight, hearing, touch, and ambulation of all four limbs. Additionally, they possess notable manual dexterity despite seeming to lack distinct digits and relevant muscular structures. Outside of this, all instances are conventional plush toys lacking any biological components. SCP-3092-A instances are remarkably proficient in various activities related to guerrilla warfare, such as stealth, weapon improvisation, trap setting, and the maintenance and usage of a variety of small arms. They also appear to possess "ideologies" crudely resembling various real and fictitious guerrilla rebel groups. They are capable of developing and staging complex plans individually or as a group, and regularly attempt to breach containment, with limited success. However, thus far, all SCP-3092-A activity appears to have been intended to annoy or inconvenience rather than cause legitimate damage to its targets. All weapons employed by SCP-3092-A instances have been non-lethal in nature, causing only minor injuries; opportunities to cause severe damage to Foundation assets, such as through arson or the containment breach of other SCP objects, have been ignored in favor of more superficial attacks. Attempts to question SCP-3092-A instances on the subject have failed, with all instances insisting that their attacks are massively damaging with many casualties. Implements and tactics frequently used include slingshots, small catapults, trip hazards, (See Addendum 3092-03) graffiti, "glitter bombs," and buckets or canisters of various liquids placed atop partially opened doors. All SCP-3092-A instances created by SCP-3092 have thus far possessed distinct personalities, beliefs, objectives and identities. However, when an instance of SCP-3092 comes into physical contact with a non-anomalous plush toy, that plush toy will immediately be transformed into an identical instance of SCP-3092-A, with similar baseline personality, ideology, and behavioral patterns to the SCP-3092-A instance which created it. SCP-3092-A instances appear to be aware of this property, and will attempt to make use of it in order to bolster numbers. Many instances will, after being created, attempt to reenter SCP-3092 in order to convert any applicable toys remaining inside. SCP-3092-A instances can be ripped, torn, or otherwise damaged with no greater difficulty than a conventional plush toy. Reactions to damage have been universally and melodramatically negative, with instances typically expressing hyperbolic pain over even superficial damage. Severe injuries, such as deep punctures or tears to the torso, detachment of limbs, or decapitation will result in "death," with instances falling to the ground and ceasing to move, typically after a long period of exaggerated expressions of pain. However, in cases less severe than complete incineration, instances appear to only be "playing dead," as repeated disturbance of these corpses will result in them briefly returning to activity and requesting that this disturbance stop, as they are "out of the game." Due to this information as well as SCP-3092-A's lack of a nervous system, it is not currently believed that they actually feel pain. Repair of damaged SCP-3092-A instances through conventional stitching, patching and re-stuffing is typically sufficient to alleviate instances' expressed pain and death states, and is interpreted by them as medical attention. Currently, 23 instances of SCP-3092-A are in containment by the Foundation. Recovery: SCP-3092 was retrieved on 05/03/20██ from █████ ██████ Family Restaurant and Arcade in Cheyenne, Wyoming, after animal control officers responding to a call there noted anomalous activity. Upon Foundation agents' arrival to the scene, it is believed that 21 SCP-3092-A instances had been created through both SCP-3092 and their own duplication properties, and restaurant facilities were considerably defaced. After "killing" several aggressive instances with small arms fire, the remaining instances surrendered to Foundation officials and were contained along with SCP-3092 after it was determined the source of anomalous activity. Civilians present were amnesticized and a cover story of an escaped pet chimpanzee was distributed. Addendum 3092-01: On 05/18/20██, 1 SCP-3092-A instance initiated a containment breach and fled via an adjacent hallway. Agent Megan Cho, noticing this activity while standing guard outside SCP-████'s containment chamber, fired on the instance with the tranquilizer rifle she was armed with. Curiously, the subject appeared to "pass out," falling to the ground and ceasing all activities besides occasional twitches and mock snoring.3 Subject was recontained without incident and "awoke" several hours later. Due to increased effectiveness and lowered risk over net launchers or firearms, it is recommended that Foundation agents use tranquilizer weapons in the recontainment of SCP-3092-A instances in the future. Addendum 3092-02: After testing, it has been determined that any weapon firing feather-tipped pneumatic darts is sufficient to induce a "sleep" state in SCP-3092-A, regardless of whether said dart is actually loaded with tranquilizers. Like the aforementioned death state, it is believed that this sleep state is performative on SCP-3092-A's part. To minimize the potential for collateral damage to Foundation personnel, mock tranquilizer rifles should be used in place of actual tranquilizers. Addendum 3092-03: On 06/09/20██, 2 SCP-3092-A instances simultaneously escaped containment and fled through the building's ventilation system, before setting up a tripwire in the office of Dr. Martin Helmer, intending for him to trip, fall, and land face-first on a pillow with a crude insult written on it. However, upon entering his office, Dr. Helmer tripped, fell, hit his shoulder against a bookshelf and suffered a fractured collarbone — an injury much more severe than any induced by prior SCP-3092-A containment breaches. Upon discovering this, both instances immediately expressed remorse, informed other Foundation officials of the situation, and were compliant in recontainment. Investigation revealed later that several amenities within these instances' cells had been converted into gifts and apology cards intended for Dr. Helmer. Further breaches by SCP-3092-A instances have not been noted to employ trip hazards of any sort. Footnotes 1. Investigation has revealed that SCP-3092 was in usage for 7 years prior to its anomalous properties surfacing. 2. All SCP-3092-A instances identified have been fluent in English. 3. SCP-3092-A instances are not otherwise noted to possess a regular sleep cycle. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3092" by HunkyChunky, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3093 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3093 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3093's state is to be monitored at all times, and all reported sightings of SCP-3093 are to be recorded and sent to Doctors Vaughn and Laika for further research. Should an instance of EE-3093 occur, agents should be dispatched to the area of the anomaly and report all observations to the research team evacuate all civilians immediately and contain witnesses as soon as possible. If any sightings of SCP-3093-A are reported by witnesses, MTF-Mu-13 should be deployed to the location at once. SCP-3093-1 is to be guarded and placed under surveillance for a minimum of 20 hours per day. SCP-3093-1 has been instructed to notify personnel of any recurrences of EE-3093. Description: SCP-3093 is a wavelength of color thought to be located at (105, -101, -23) on the CIELAB colorspace spectrum grid1 that cannot normally be interpreted by the human eye. In rare cases, SCP-3093 can be interpreted by the human eye, although the exact reason why is unknown. It is hypothesized that certain light environments enable the eye to perceive external instances of otherwise invisible light. Subjects reported to have witnessed instances of SCP-3093 describe it as a mixture of intense green and a self-illuminating magenta. Both subjects have referred to the color as "vulvide", despite having never come in contact with each other. Only two people claim to have seen SCP-3093: SCP-3093-1 is a C-Class middle-aged man who possesses 20/12.5 vision. SCP-3093-1 wears prescription glasses, which are maintained carefully by the Foundation following his witnessing SCP-3093. SCP-3093-2 is a teenaged girl who possesses 20/20 vision. SCP-3093-2 is the first known witness of the EE-3093 anomaly, and is thus under heavy surveillance since deceased. Very rarely, SCP-3093 will accompany an occurrence of EE-3093, as well as an appearance of SCP-3093-A. SCP-3093-A is a humanoid figure that has been described by SCP-3093-2 as featureless and bathed in the vulvide color. SCP-3093-A has not been seen by anyone except SCP-3093-2, though its existence has been proven by Dr. Vaughn. SCP-3093-A has not been observed to interact with subjects or attempt contact, and should be considered safe is extremely hostile when provoked and should be avoided at all costs, following Incident 3093-F1-B. EE-3093 is an anomalous event in which a subject is able to see SCP-3093-A and its activities. The results of the only test conducted provide too little data to prove the exact circumstances under which EE-3093 occurs. Interview 3093-A: The following is an interview of SCP-3093-1, following the first known sighting of SCP-3093. Doctor Ingrid Laika: So can you please describe this incident? SCP-3093-1: I know it sounds crazy, but it's true. What I saw… it was almost unreal. But it was real. It was real. <Begin Log, 20:00> Dr. Laika: Please detail the situation in which you observed the phenomenon. SCP-3093-1: Well, it had been a long night, and I was passed out on the bed… Dr. Laika: We just need the details of what actually happened, Mr. █████. SCP-3093-1: R-right. Well, I woke up, and the room was bathed in this bizarre light. But all the windows were closed, and the lights were all off. It wasn't coming from anywhere; there was no source… It was just… there. Dr. Laika: Can you describe the nature of this light? SCP-3093-1: It was a color I'd never seen before. It was like a mixture of pink and green, except it wasn't. I still can't recreate it in my mind… I wasn't drunk or high or anything, I swear… Dr. Laika: We know that, sir. We tested your blood when we brought you here. SCP-3093-1: You probably think I'm insane. Dr. Laika: No, I can assure you, we think you're perfectly sane. Now, can you describe anything else you saw? SCP-3093-1: Well, after I got up, the light faded a bit. I thought it was just a hallucination, but then I saw the room. Every surface was covered in blurry vulvide writing- Dr. Laika: Vulvide? SCP-3093-1: Sorry, I don't know why I said that. It just… fits. Doesn't it? Dr. Laika: *mumbling* So the room was covered in writing. Could you identify the language? SCP-3093-1: I couldn't tell, it was like it was permanently out of focus… it looked vaguely like the Greek alphabet, I guess. Dr. Laika: And what happened then? SCP-3093-1: Then it all disappeared. I blinked and the lights and writing were gone. Dr. Laika: And one more thing, Mr. █████. Are you familiar with the girl in this photo? SCP-3093-1: No clue who that is. An old girlfriend of mine? No, actually… who is she? Dr. Laika: I believe that concludes this interview. We'll escort you to your containment cell in a moment. SCP-3093-1: Wait, what? Wait, you said— <End Log, 20:07> Interview 3093-B: The following is an interview conducted with SCP-3093-2. SCP-3093-2: I don't know why I have to be here, honestly. Doctor Terrence Vaughn: Please cooperate, Miss ██, and you'll be out shortly. <Begin Log, 20:00> Dr. Vaughn: Please describe what you saw. SCP-3093-2: It was a weird light, I think. It just appeared when I blinked. Dr. Vaughn: And what color was the light? SCP-3093-2: I don't know. I guess it was like purply-green? It's not like I was on drugs. Can I go now? Dr. Vaughn: And what other things did you see? SCP-3093-2: You won't believe me. Dr. Vaughn: Say it and let's see. We believe you may have witnessed a spectral anomaly. SCP-3093-2: Okay, well there was writing all over the wall, but I couldn't read any of it. And then— Dr. Vaughn: Was it indecipherable or just blurry? SCP-3093-2: Blurry, it was blurry. Dr. Vaughn: And was there anything— SCP-3093-2: Vulvide… yeah. Dr. Vaughn: I'm sorry? SCP-3093-2: Well if it's a new color, I get to name it, right? I think we should call it vulvide. Dr. Vaughn: Interesting. SCP-3093-2: So I get to name it? Dr. Vaughn: Yes, I suppose so. Informally, at least. The internal designation will remain SCP-3093. SCP-3093-2: Hell, yeah. Dr. Vaughn: Now, please look at this picture. Do you know this man? Answer honestly; this information will not be disclosed. SCP-3093-2: I have no idea who that is. Were you implying that I was… involved with him? God, look at him. He must be, like, 40 or something. Dr. Vaughn: That's not what I meant. This man has witnessed a similar event, and has just described the same color that you claimed to have witnessed as 'vulvide'. SCP-3093-2: What? So… I didn't discover it? Dr. Vaughn: 'Vulvide' has always existed, Miss ██. You're just one of the first to see it. SCP-3093-2: Okay, cool, I guess. Dr. Vaughn: Could you describe the light's source? SCP-3093-2: I don't know if there was one… It was just, everywhere. Dr. Vaughn: And was there anything else? SCP-3093-2: There was someone there, covered in the light. It looked human, but somehow… it wasn't. It was just standing there, motionless in my room. But when the color went away, so did it. I didn't get a good look at it. Dr. Vaughn: Okay, that's all we need. Do you have any questions? SCP-3093-2: Can I leave now? <End Log, 20:09> Following this interview, SCP-3093-2 was taken in for further testing. + Incident 3039-F1-A - Access granted Test A - 10/13/██ Subjects: SCP-3093-2, D-9083 Procedure: Introduce subject to a range of environments with varying light levels and intensities in order to recreate circumstances of anomaly EE-3093. Place subject in 23x23 testing area with dim lighting, with glass two-way window at north end, and equip researchers with taskforce-issue infrared goggles so as to not let light into the chamber. <Begin Log, 5:25> Doctor T. Vaughn: Okay, ████, we're going to expose you to our first lighting condition now. Let us know if a similar experience occurs. SCP-3093-2: Fine. Dr. Vaughn: Laika, initiate strobe at frequency 12 for 60 seconds. SCP-3093-2: Ow!! Holy fuck, that's bright. Dr. I. Laika: Are you experiencing anything out of the ordinary? SCP-3093-2: Nothing except for a migraine. Fuck. Dr. Vaughn: Dr. Laika, move on to frequency 18 strobe. SCP-3093-2: Wait, wait, I see it! Dr. Laika: Excellent, early results. Vaughn, catalog EE-3093. ████, please describe to us the color of light you're seeing. SCP-3093-2: It's… so bright, y'know? It's sort of greenish, but when I blink, it turns to some sort of pinkish color… Dr. Laika: Would you say it's self-illuminating? SCP-3093-2: What does that even mean? Dr. Vaughn: Would you say it was brighter than the testing light? Brighter than pure white? SCP-3093-2: I… I guess so. It's— *loud shriek* Dr. Vaughn: It's what? SCP-3093-2: The vulvide person… it's right here. Right in front of me. Dr. Laika: Vaughn, see if you can detect anything on the scanner. Miss ██, can you describe any features of the being? Dr. Vaughn: Can you see any of the symbols on the walls? SCP-3093-2: No, the writing's not there… It's standing there. It's just the shape of a person, no face, no marks, just smooth vulvide light. Dr. Vaughn: There's definitely a slight change in heat signature where she's looking. We can confirm the existence of an as-of-yet Safe anomalous being. Dr. Laika: Okay, bring the guinea pig in. *throat clearing* Attention, D-9083. Please approach SCP-3093-2 in an orderly manner, and position yourself approximately 2 meters away from her. If you refuse to comply, you will be terminated. D-9083: Jeez, I'm gonna have a seizure from this light. Oh, hey, little lady. Whatcha lookin' at? Dr. Vaughn: That's enough, D-9083. Please extend your left arm in front of you. SCP-3093-2: Oh, my god! Oh, my GOD! It… it just turned around and attacked him! GET ME OUT OF HERE!!! *banging* Dr. Laika: D-Class has flatlined. ██, please describe how the anomalous being acted. SCP-3093-2: It… it didn't even move, it just switched from one position to another! Please, just GET ME THE FUCK OUT OF HERE. Dr. Laika: Please, turn away from the glass and look at the anomaly, Miss ██. SCP-3093-2: Oh, god… they're behind you. They're everywhere… Dr. Vaughn: ████, please maintain control— SCP-3093-2: HELP ME, PLEASE!!! It's shifting all over the room. Oh, god, it's writing those symbols again. Dr. Vaughn: Describe the symbols, please! SCP-3093-2: OH, FUCK, IT'S— *screaming* Dr. Laika: Subject SCP-3093-2 has flatlined. Dr. Vaughn: Heat signatures have faded. Dr. Laika: Poor thing. I just wish we could have finished that test… Dr. Vaughn: To hell with that test. We're not touching this again. Did you hear what she said about them? Those things are everywhere, and we can't see them. Who knows what'll provoke them? Dr. Laika: Let's perform an autopsy and see if we can at least find out the cause of death. Results: Subject D-9083 is deceased as a result of an instance of EE-3093. Subject SCP-3093-2 is deceased as a result of an instance of EE-3093. Insufficient evidence collected to determine exact circumstances under which EE-3093 occurs. Analysis: SCP-3093 and SCP-3093-A classification changed to Euclid. No further testing of SCP-3093 will be conducted. Addendum: Autopsy results show evidence of complete shutdown of the nervous system, although no physical incisions or injuries have been exacted on the cranial or spinal areas. The only visible exterior damage was to the corneas of both subjects' eyes, which, when removed, had an encrypted message in Greek letters, which read ΣΗ ΥΣ. When translated, the message reads, simply: SEE US. Footnotes 1. The CIELAB, or Hunter Lab Colorspace, is the most modern three-dimensional representation of the visible light spectrum. (105, -101, -23) refers to the L*a*b* coordinates of SCP-3093 on the real-number grid, with L representing light level and a and b representing red/green and yellow/blue levels, respectively. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3093" by Vulvide, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3094 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3094 Special Containment Procedures: The building containing SCP-3094 has been fenced off and is to be monitored at all times by security cameras and occasional patrols. Renovations to the outside of the building have been completed to deter people from attempting to explore the location due to its local reputation for being abandoned and haunted. Description: SCP-3094 is an empty elevator shaft located within the former site of ████████ Aquarium and Conservatory. The shaft has a width of 4 m and a length of 5.5 m. It extends up to the third floor of the building, and descends to an unknown depth, though the building does not have a basement or any floor below the ground level. People and objects lowered into SCP-3094 are estimated to disappear completely at a depth of approximately 30 m below the ground floor entrance to the shaft. To this date, the only thing recovered from SCP-3094 is Agent Brandt. The Foundation was alerted to SCP-3094 after an abnormal amount of missing person reports were filed in the area, including a police officer who investigated the building after multiple reports of individuals falling into the elevator shaft. Splashing sounds without any apparent source had been reported in the building for several decades. Several victims of drowning have also been found near the building over the years, with no nearby bodies of water or signs of the deceased individuals' bodies having been moved from another location. An unmanned drone was sent into SCP-3094, but contact was lost with the drone at approximately 30 meters below the entrance to the shaft; at the same time that contact was lost, a loud splashing sound was heard. Under the assumption that the drone had fallen into a pool of water and malfunctioned, Agent Holm and Agent Brandt were then tasked with descending into SCP-3094 with waterproof recording equipment. Upon reaching 30 meters below the entrance to the shaft, contact was lost with both agents. Neither agent reported any abnormalities up to the point of disappearance. Further attempts to explore the shaft resulted in the loss of all equipment used. Agent Brandt was later recovered in Libreville, Gabon, Africa. He claims he appeared somewhere in Pongara National Park, requiring him to hike for miles through the jungle until a park ranger found him and returned him to civilization. He had also managed to retain his waterproof audio recorder. While his voice is almost entirely inaudible, the rest of the audio was salvaged and seems to confirm Agent Brandt's account of his experience after disappearing into SCP-3094. An interview with Agent Brandt can be found below. + Interview with Agent Brandt 3094-1 - Close Interview <Begin Log> Dr. Bekker: Agent Brandt, could you please tell me what happened to you and Agent Holm after you descended past 30 meters below the entrance to SCP-3094? Provide as much detail as you can reliably recall. Agent Brandt: As I said before, I really don't know what happened to Holm. She was next to me, rappelling into the shaft, and the next thing I know the rope in my hands is gone and I'm falling. I fell maybe 50 meters into a body of water. It was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything. Dr. Bekker: And you then immediately attempted to reach the surface of the water? Agent Brandt: Yes, that's correct. I'm fairly certain I swam straight up, but in the darkness and confusion I could be wrong. Either way, when I reached the surface of the water, I discovered the elevator shaft was no longer above me. Dr. Bekker: What was above you? Agent Brandt: Metal. A ceiling of sorts? I hit my head on it. At that point I started panicking because I realized there was only about 5 cm between the water and the ceiling. I practically had to kiss the metal to keep my mouth and nose above the water. It was rusty and smelled like seaweed. The water seemed brackish, and the smell of everything was overwhelming at first. I'm not sure how I didn't lose it completely and just drown. Dr. Bekker: What did you do then? Agent Brandt: I figured the shaft had to be somewhere close, and even if I was disoriented, I knew it shouldn't be too difficult to find it so I had more room to breathe, maybe call up to the research team and let them know what happened. So I started looking, keeping my face above the water as best I could, feeling along the metal for the opening. I probably did that for twenty minutes before I realized I wasn't going to find it, that maybe it wasn't even there anymore. Dr. Bekker: Did you attempt to locate Agent Holm at any point? Agent Brandt: At first I had completely forgotten about her in my panic. Once I was focused on finding the shaft, I remembered, and called out for her a few times. Never got a response. I was actually calling out for her when the water began to light up. Dr. Bekker: The water itself lit up? Agent Brandt: Actually, I heard a loud splash first. And then the water, or something in it, started to light up. I yelled again for Holm, but that was when the water started to rise. Dr. Bekker: It noticeably rose? Agent Brandt: Yes. All the way to the ceiling. And I knew that I was going to die then. That's… when things got weird. Dr. Bekker: Continue please. Agent Brandt: Well, the water was over my head, but I could breathe somehow. And I could see. And I don't just mean because of the light source. I could see in the water as if I was wearing swim goggles or a scuba mask. Everything was crystal clear. I could see what was giving off the light. Dr. Bekker: What was it? Agent Brandt: It was a very large owl. Well, it looked like an owl, but it was massive. I'd say it was about 70 meters away from me, and yet I could see it perfectly through the water. It looked like it was at least 60 meters tall. It had very long legs for an owl though, which was part of why it was so tall. And it had a crown on its head. Dr. Bekker: A crown? Agent Brandt: Yes. It was bright gold, so it caught my attention immediately. Dr. Bekker: What was your reaction upon seeing this entity? Agent Brandt: Dr. Bekker, I was going through a lot of emotions at that point. Terror was in there somewhere, for sure. But I was also very confused, tired, and also in awe. You know how some people just exude charisma? Dr. Bekker: Yes, I do know what you mean, I think. Agent Brandt: This thing exuded something like that. Not charisma though. It was like a mixture of horror and wonder and something else that was just…incomprehensible. I sensed it was going to speak to me seconds before it opened its mouth. Dr. Bekker: What did it say to you? Agent Brandt: At first it was just noise. Awful, awful noise. Sounded like an orchestra of broken trumpets all vying to be heard over each other. I instinctually covered my ears but it was still just as loud. I yelled at it to stop, but it wouldn't. And then slowly, I realized there were words in the noise. It…it…can you just give me a second, Dr. Bekker? Dr. Bekker: Of course. This was traumatizing, I imagine. Agent Brandt: No. I mean, sort of. I…I want to tell you everything in detail, but speaking with it was difficult to describe. Everything about it felt very, very wrong. And trying to remember that wrongness, which is just so hard to put into words, feels like it's draining me. I feel like I'm not meant to remember or repeat any of this. I wish I could more eloquently explain the bizarre emotions I'm feeling. Dr. Bekker: It's okay, Agent Brandt. Just tell me what you can. We can always take a break and try later. Agent Brandt: I'm not sure a break would help. Is it okay if just summarize it? Maybe I can try writing down the details later or something. I don't know. Dr. Bekker: A summary is fine for now. I will warn you that the director probably will want more than that from you eventually. Agent Brandt: Of course, yeah. I understand. Give me a moment. Dr. Bekker: Take your time. Agent Brandt: When I realized I could hear words within the cacophony, I was able to focus on them, and realized it was asking me a question. It wanted to know why I was there. I told it I didn't know, and I asked it where I was. Dr. Bekker: And it responded to you? Agent Brandt: Yeah. It was difficult to understand its answers. It spoke in an odd combination of Danish and English,1 and it had a cadence to its speech that was…discomforting. None of what it said made much sense to me. Dr. Bekker: Could you understand anything? Agent Brandt: It said something about a very big gap or drop. Something about visiting. Something about separation. I didn't know what to say to that, so I asked it if it knew where Agent Holm was. Do you think we can stop now? I'm honestly quite exhausted, mentally and physically. Dr. Bekker: Just summarize the rest as best you can, and we can be done for now. Agent Brandt: It said something about the "eve cunt" being separated, something about property. At that point its voice was making me feel ill and I didn't want to know what it meant anymore. I asked it if I could please go home. It said no. So I begged it. Dr. Bekker: How did it respond to that? Agent Brandt: It made me some sort of offer. And I took it. Dr. Bekker, I have no idea what I agreed to. I just know that it laughed and the sound was like an audience of predator animals screaming all at once. And the next thing I knew, I was in the jungle. I really need to be done now. I can't talk about this anymore. My head hurts and I feel like I'm going to have an anxiety attack. Dr. Bekker: We can be done for now, Agent Brandt. Agent Brandt: Thank you, Dr. Bekker. <End Log> Recovered audio from Agent Brandt's recorder: The transcript of the above audio file was prepared by Foundation sound and language specialists, with help from Agent Brandt. The mixed used of languages made transcribing the log difficult, even with Agent Brandt's input. Footnotes have been included on words that are unclear. + Audio transcript 3094 - Close Transcript A muffled voice can be heard, but the words cannot be discerned.

Agent Brandt can be heard softly sobbing. Addendum-1: Agent Brandt is currently under the care of Site 24's head psychiatrist, following a nervous breakdown he experienced a few days after his interview with Dr. Bekker. It is believed this breakdown was triggered when Agent Brandt discovered a marking or burn on his shoulder that resembles a raven's head. Further interviews with Agent Brandt are restricted at this time. Footnotes 1. These are the two languages Agent Brandt is fluent in. 2. Possibly "Gap" or "Gahp" The pronunciation makes it uncertain if this is a Danish or English word, or something else entirely. 3. Unclear if this is two words, or one. Agent Brandt believes it may be one. |

SCP-3096 | keter | SCP-3096 Item #: SCP-3096 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3096 is to be kept in a standard storage locker in the High-Security wing of Site-██. At all times, it is to be exposed to an Einstein-Pálsdóttir Temporal Field (EPTF) with a temporal coefficient of +1.0125. Two redundant EPTF generators are to be maintained in the containment area and powered by batteries. Agent Graeme is to be protected from harm at all costs; to that end, he is to be kept in a High-Security residence at Protected Site-██. He may not be given any assignment in the field until the commencement of Operation Repulsion in approximately six months. He has been fully briefed on the contents of this document. For the sake of clarity, all documentation of events concerning the object or Agent Graeme are to be described in terms of their temporal relation to the present (e.g. "one year ago") rather than with a date and time. Description: SCP-3096 is a bar magnet measuring 6x1x0.5 cm, with its south pole unpainted and its north pole painted red. At any given time, SCP-3096 was initially contained approximately ten years ago by Agent Graeme.1 Agent Graeme is thirty-four years of age. He is still employed by the Foundation, and has provided the Foundation with all of its information regarding SCP-3096 through a causal loop2 whose position in time is continuously changing. The following is an approximate timeline of the events surrounding SCP-3096: + Timeline - Timeline Ten years, four months ago: The Foundation detects a temporal anomaly affecting the baseline branch of causality. Investigation commences. Ten years, one month ago: The cause of the temporal anomaly is determined to be Agent Graeme, at thirty-five years of age. He has used an unknown, single-use anomalous object to travel back in time, with the purpose of recovering SCP-3096. At this time, there are two versions of Agent Graeme; one older and one younger (at twenty-five years of age). The younger version is not made aware of his counterpart's presence. Ten years ago: The older Agent Graeme recovers SCP-3096 and submits it to Foundation custody. He requests that this action be dubbed Operation Repulsion. Nine years, ten months ago: The interview documented in Interview Log 3096-Alpha is conducted. Nine years, five months ago: At the recommendation of the older Agent Graeme, SCP-3096 is exposed to an Einstein-Pálsdóttir Temporal Field (EPTF). The EPTF generator is set with a temporal coefficient of +0.9875.3 Six years, one week ago: One of the redundant EPTF generators disappears from the containment chamber under unknown circumstances. It is quickly replaced, and containment is not breached. Six years ago: The older Agent Graeme disappears under unknown circumstances.4 The younger Agent Graeme is briefed on the contents of this document and transported to his current residence at Protected Site-██. Seven months ago: Based on recommendations given by the older Agent Graeme before his disappearance, the EPTF generator is reset with a temporal coefficient of +1.0125.5 This is its current setting. Now: SCP-3096 is in containment. Five months in the future: An unknown anomalous object enters the Foundation's possession, allowing the younger Agent Graeme to travel back in time to the beginning of this timeline. Details about the exact nature of this object were withheld by the older Agent Graeme. Six months in the future: The younger Agent Graeme, at thirty-five years of age, is dispatched on Operation Repulsion. + Interview Log 3096-Alpha - Interview Log 3096-Alpha The following interview was conducted nine years and ten months ago. Interviewer: Dr. Pálsdóttir, Foundation Temporal Mechanics Subject: Agent Graeme (Older) [BEGIN LOG] Dr. Pálsdóttir: Why is this item contained in the first place? Agent Graeme: I can see how that would be confusing. But it's a magnet, right? Dr. Pálsdóttir: Right. Agent Graeme: It's not only a three-dimensional magnet. It's, um, also attracted to the future version of itself, if that makes sense. Dr. Pálsdóttir: I'm not sure I follow. Agent Graeme: I can make some diagrams, if you want.6 Dr. Pálsdóttir: That would be helpful. Agent Graeme: But what we need to worry about is what happens when the present and future SCP-3096 meet in the middle. Dr. Pálsdóttir: And what happens then? Agent Graeme: It ties causality into a knot. Or a loop, maybe. Our timeline ends— Dr. Pálsdóttir: Our branch of causality, you mean. Agent Graeme: Yes, our branch of causality ends, and folds in on itself. Imagine the planet Earth moving back into the past, again and again and again. Every atom of matter in the universe will do the same. Dr. Pálsdóttir: And what, fill the universe with an infinite amount of matter in no time at all? Agent Graeme: Exactly. Plus an infinite amount of energy. Dr. Pálsdóttir: I don't think I've ever seen a temporal anomaly quite like that. How do we even begin to contain it? Agent Graeme: Well, if I recall correctly, you're working on something related right now. Speeding things up and slowing them down in time, right? Dr. Pálsdóttir: I am. Agent Graeme: Not that I know how it works, but in the future where I come from, we slowed down the present— no, past— no, earlier version of the magnet by one eightieth, and we speed up the future version by the same amount. We'll call that effect an "Einstein-Pálsdóttir Temporal Field." Dr. Pálsdóttir: Where did you get that number? One eightieth? Agent Graeme: Some kind of paradox, where else? Dr. Pálsdóttir: Fair.

SCP-3097 | safe | Item #: SCP-3097 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3097 is contained in a standard anomalous item locker. Testing of SCP-3097 is to take place explicitly indoors as to avoid any significant damage its effects may cause to surrounding or distant locations. SCP-3097 is to be reduced to a manageable size before re-containment after testing. All dogs used in the experimentation of SCP-3097 are to be selected from the Foundation's animal testing subject enclosure and to have been given strict obedience training. Instances are to be subdued with long-range tranquillizers in the unlikely event of refusing to obey staff. Description: SCP-3097 is a common alder tree branch, kept at an approximate length of 60cm when contained. When thrown by a human subject, SCP-3097 will increase in size as it propels through the air until eventually landing. While in midair, SCP-3097 will continue to resize itself so that it remains the same size as it visually appeared when originally perceived from the thrower's foreground perspective; i.e. the closer SCP-3097 appears to the thrower, the larger it will grow the further the distance it travels; as such, the size of SCP-3097 will also decrease when thrown by someone towards themselves. Addendum 3097-1: On 27/06/2016, it was discovered that the anomalous properties of SCP-3097 also affect any dog which attempts to chase after it when thrown. As of this date, several breeds of dog have been tested with SCP-3097, all of which have been affected. Dogs altered in size by SCP-3097 continue to function with no difficulties due to an apparent condition acquired from their alteration in size, bearing similarities to the "Forbes effect". Instances of dog do not experience any apparent physiological changes after significant growth or shrinking, other than visible confusion brought on by their alterations. Level 2 Clearance Required Access Granted Addendum 3097-2: On 13/08/20██ a total of [REDACTED] dogs which experienced significant growth from the effects of SCP-3097 were able to breach containment due to several complications which occurred during testing. Re-containment of all escaped instances henceforth referred as SCP-3097-B (several species of Welsh corgi measuring up to ███ meters), is to be accomplished before further testing with other breeds of dog. Update: As of 03/05/20██, a majority of SCP-3097-B instances have been re-contained. There are currently no feasible means of reverting instances back to a manageable size, due to their weight, size and the functionality of SCP-3097’s anomalous properties. The unmanageable size and cost of containing instances of SCP-3097-B have resulted in the suggestion for immediate neutralization of a majority of instances. Addendum 3097-3: Recent consultations with the Foundation Ethics Committee has lead to an alternate proposal for managing the contained instances of SCP-3097-B. Due to maintenance requirements and significant fuel costs of several on-site construction vehicles, required for the transportation of critical building materials, and the trained obedience of SCP-3097-B instances, the use of instances as a more efficient and cost-effective alternative means of transportation has been approved for several sites. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3097" by Penton, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3098 | euclid | SCP-3098 Mars Global Surveyor image of SCP-3098-1 Item #: SCP-3098 Special Containment Procedures: All maritime traffic is to be diverted from the waters in a 10-kilometer radius around SCP-3098. An acoustically insulating shell is to be installed around SCP-3098. Maintenance to this shell is to be undertaken once every two years. Efforts are to be made to approach SCP-3098-1 and gain a better understanding of its functionality. Direct contact with SCP-3098 is strictly prohibited. Images of the Martian surface gathered by civilian or government organizations are to be monitored and, if necessary, altered in order to conceal the presence of SCP-3098-1. Civilian and government expeditions in the vicinities of SCP-3098 and SCP-3098-1 are to be monitored by Foundation personnel. Information pertaining to SCP-3098 and SCP-3098-1 is to be suppressed. Plausible explanations for the appearances and effects of SCP-3098 and SCP-3098-1 are to be provided in the case of an information leak. These include the presence of undiscovered animal species, debris from human activity, or geological activity. Description: SCP-3098 is a niobium structure attached to the ocean floor. It is located at 46.2° S, 15.3° E, off the coast of South Africa, at a depth of 3,904 meters. The structure is reminiscent of a radio antenna, and is about 4 meters tall. When in the presence of sounds in excess of 80 decibels, SCP-3098 will begin to vibrate, producing a sound of pressure level 250 decibels and average frequency 17 Hertz. Due to its low frequency, this sound is able to propagate across a large fraction of the world’s oceans before becoming undetectable, with a theoretical range of about 35,000 kilometers. The sound produced by SCP-3098 has no anomalous effects on living beings exposed to it, though cetacean populations in the southern hemisphere and beyond may become distressed. SCP-3098 will absorb any organic matter that comes into contact with it. SCP-3098 gains 0.39 centimeters of height for every 100 kilograms of absorbed material. This process does not appear to effect SCP-3098 analogs in any way. SCP-3098-1 is a metal structure identical in shape to SCP-3098, located on Mars at 45.6°S, 60° E, in Hellas Planitia. It is about 50 meters tall. Activity in SCP-3098 appears to immediately trigger similar activity in SCP-3098-1, though the limitations of modern reconnaissance and communication technologies prevent full certainty in the order and timing of events. Vibrations produced by SCP-3098-1 when active appear to have a much greater amplitude than those produced by SCP-3098, and have been shown to produce very minor marsquakes. The frequency of vibration is believed to be identical to that of SCP-3098. Sound sample produced by SCP-3098 The following is a hydrophone recording of the sound produced by SCP-3098. It has been modified so that the average frequency is 240 Hertz. Addendum 3098-1: Discovery SCP-3098 was first observed by the crew of the USNS Eltanin in 1964, as a part of normal research operations. Images taken by the crew were released to the public before Foundation operatives could investigate. The item was rapidly found and contained, and the images were explained as a specimen of carnivorous sponge, of the species Cladorhiza concrescens. SCP-3098-1 was discovered by the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft in 2006. Foundation operatives were able to intercept communications with the spacecraft before any compromising images were successfully processed. A system failure was staged to prevent further investigation by NASA. Addendum 3098-2: Pending Changes to Special Containment Procedures On 11-08-2021, the BepiColombo spacecraft discovered an unexplained structure above the Venusian cloud layer. Though the resolution of the images were too low to properly identify the structure, it is suspected that this structure is analogous to SCP-3098. On 23-10-2022, the crew of the SCPF Yahaayi discovered a 5-meter tall analog of SCP-3098 at 46.2°N 164.7°W on Earth, the precise antipode of the location of SCP-3098. A request for a change to the Special Containment Procedures has been filed, proposing the use of Foundation resources to search for more SCP-3098 analogs. As of 10-2-2030, no further SCP-3098 analogs have been found. Addendum 3098-3: Incident 3098-1 On 01-12-2030, all known SCP-3098 analogs were observed to become active simultaneously, without any known stimulus. The produced sound had a constant frequency, at 15 Hertz. The cause of this event has not been ascertained. Addendum 3098-4: Letter from Senior Researcher Wojcik + Enter Level 4 credentials. - Hide To my successor, I apologize for the inevitable feelings of disappointment that will come with this position. I recommend you accept that you will probably not find any answers in your time here. I’ve already tried everything in my twenty years overseeing research into SCP-3098, and what you’ve read is all there is. The sounds don’t seem to be coded, just random noise. It definitely isn’t playing back what it hears. In fact, it doesn’t seem to be playing anything at all. As far as we can tell, it’s made entirely out of solid niobium. No internal workings, no hollow spaces inside. We dug underneath it when we were installing the shell, and we found the node that attached it to the sea floor. It’s about the size of an oil barrel. When I saw it, I thought we’d finally cracked the mystery. I was certain the acoustic analysis would find an engine or something. Hell, I would have been happy if it was made of copper instead of niobium. But no, it turned out to be an inert anchor, solid niobium like the rest of the structure. It doesn’t produce radiation, no secretions, nothing except for the sound. Back in 1998, we did some emission spectrometry tests on the antenna. We found it’s composed almost entirely of 92 Nb, at about 0.9 molar fraction. The rest was zirconium with traces of molybdenum. This was probably the most exciting thing we’d ever done; we were getting some real science! With those numbers, I estimated that SCP-3098 was about 5.2 million years old. That should have added some intrigue, piqued the interest of one of the higher ups. It wasn’t even added to the documentation. They said it was something about uncertainty, what with all the unknown variables. The administration isn’t really helping, of course. They’re reluctant to offer funding to investigate further. I guess there’s good reason for it, what with so many other things waiting to end the world. All we have down here is a vibrator at the bottom of the sea. It’s not dangerous, and we’ve had no reason to believe it is. As long as no one knows about them, they’re not causing any harm. We all have our own theories. Almost everyone thinks it has extraterrestrial origins, which makes sense. But then it must have been put here for a purpose. Maybe it’s a way for the aliens to communicate with terrestrial organisms? If it is, why does it respond with white noise? One possibility that has been gaining traction is that the antenna are actually merely projections of much larger, four-dimensional structures. It neatly explains everything away, but I can’t help but think of it as a cheap cop-out. Then again, I don’t have a better one. Though it may be needlessly pessimistic, I can’t help but think of a bell when I hear it. Just ringing out into the night sky: ‘dinner’s ready!’ At any rate, I welcome you to the new position, and wish you the best luck. May you be more successful than I was. Regards, John Wojcik |

Continue Back to Front Page SCP-3099, still frame at 00:58:44. Item #: SCP-3099 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3099 is currently kept in a standard small item secure locker at Site-78. Testing on human subjects has been limited to the quota set by the Ethics Committee (currently at 6). Further increase of the testing quota must be requested from the Site-78 Ethics Committee Liaison Office. Description: SCP-3099 is a VCR tape recording of the vintage pornographic film Debbie Does Dallas, recovered from the Mister B adult video store located in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. It differs from non-anomalous copies of Debbie Does Dallas in the inclusion of an entity designated as SCP-3099-A. SCP-3099-A is a humanoid figure clad in a soft white suit or costume with a spherical headpiece. SCP-3099-A will appear onscreen midway through the first scene where sexual intercourse takes place (identified as after 00:09:52, at the beginning of the group sex scene in the shower), crawling out of the ventilation grate on the right of the set. The actors and actresses within the film do not appear to notice SCP-3099-A's intrusion, and will carry on their activities undisturbed. SCP-3099-A will wander around and occasionally squat down to inspect the actors and actresses, and proceed to leave the set at the end of the scene. SCP-3099-A will then appear in various sets throughout the remaining scenes of the film in the background. It occasionally indicates impatience through its body language. At times, it appears to show curiosity towards props on the set, picking up and inspecting them, though it always takes great care to replace them in their exact positions afterwards. During the final sex scene of the tape (identified as a point after 01:05:54 in the film, as the actors start undressing in the bookstore), SCP-3099-A will seat itself opposite the persons participating in intercourse. It will then proceed to rub its hands on its face in a circular motion. After 22 complete rotations of its hands, its body will convulse, then remain limp throughout the remainder of the film. Individuals who view SCP-3099 for the first time with the intent of using it for sexual gratification will, at the end of the film, spontaneously achieve orgasm and enter a cataleptic state. Visual, aural, and tactile hallucinations are commonly reported during this state, ranging from the mildly disorienting to extremely distressing. Affected subjects exhibit symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, occasionally accompanied with an acute aversion to touch and the colour white. While other effects have been theorised to occur (see Subject Files), they have not been observed under controlled test conditions. SCP-3099 was obtained by Agent L. Minh on 2005/07/01 following tips from the Amsterdam police department investigating a recent string of bizarre sexual assaults on men. A connection to the Mister B store was established by Agent Minh, leading to the eventual discovery of SCP-3099 and its latest victim. In all, a total of 29 individuals were suspected to have been affected by SCP-3099. All but one have been located. Addendum: Subject files (truncated - for full list, consult Document 3099-C3) Subject profile: Jan-Pieter Rutgers, age 27. Freelance software programmer. Single. Date of exposure: 2005/06/11 Comments: Subject was reluctant to engage in conversation, and shied from physical contact. Signs of recent light bruising on left elbow, both knees, and inner thighs. Subject reported finding themselves in a room with bright lights approximately half-way through viewing the film, but could not recall much else until their discovery by paramedics on the floor of the video arcade seven hours later. Subject was coerced into registering for post-trauma psychological counseling and is currently undergoing observation under a local Foundation-affiliated mental health clinic. Subject profile: Mathijn Zwiersen, age 47. Unemployed. Married, with no children. Date of exposure: 2005/06/16 Comments: Subject behaved agitatedly when approached by Foundation personnel. While initially reticient, he revealed upon further questioning that Agent Minh's white-coloured jacket was making him feel highly uncomfortable. Subject relaxed and became more talkative when the jacket was removed. He reported that he had fallen asleep in the video booth at around 4 P.M., but could not remember anything after that. Agent Minh noticed traces of white powder around subject's lips and fingertips. Subject could not explain origin of white powder. White powder was collected, examined, and identified as polycarbonate dust. Interviewing personnel were unable to voluntarily register the subject for Foundation observation. Field agents are recommended to conduct routine covert observation. Subject profile: Ayoub Haddani, age 35. Security officer. Married, with three children. Date of exposure: 2005/06/21 Comments: Subject was unconscious and had been hospitalised at VU University Medical Center for three days upon discovery. Medical report indicates severe penetration wound through left eyeball by a blunt object measuring approximately 4 cm wide and 10 cm long, mild septicemia, as well as various bruises and grazes to both elbows, knees, and inner thighs. Subject's wife was unwilling to volunteer further explanation as to her husband's whereabouts, insisting that she would only speak to law enforcement authorities. Subject expired two days later on 2005/06/29 due to cardiac arrest after a 5 cm-wide cluster of white polycarbonate dust and seminal fluid was forcibly inserted into subject via his central venous catheter. Security cameras could not capture the attacker due to being cracked and non-functioning. Subject profile: Gregor Saxer, age 44. Bartender. Single. Date of exposure: 2005/06/30 Comments: Subject was found unconscious on the floor of the B1 adult video arcade by local authorities. Subject exhibited similar injuries to other exposed subjects, as well as extensive sweating and elevated body temperature. Upon triage, a 10 cm-wide sphere was found embedded in subject's lower abdomen. Subject was immediately transported to Site-78 for medical treatment and observation. Refer to Incident Report #3099/20050630/02. Addendum: Incident Report #3099/20050630/02 Two hours following recovery, subject Gregor Saxer began to undergo a series of abdominal muscle spasms. The procedure to remove the sphere lodged in his abdomen was put on hold. Five minutes later, a circular mass expanded from within the subject's lower abdomen, followed by the subject's skin rupturing and a large mass of white material resembling SCP-3099-A's head emerging from within. Thick white tubes of the same white material then emerged from the wound, extending to form the remainder of a humanoid body. This caused severe damage to the subject, separating his torso from his abdomen. The subject expired shortly after this event. Upon seeing the remains of the subject, the entity appeared to be highly distressed, kneeling down and rubbing the subject's separated body parts against its face. It then proceeded to grow a tube of white material from the middle of its chest and thrust it into the subject's severed torso repeatedly. At this point, Dr. M. Manuel drew his concealed pistol and fired six rounds into the entity's head. Upon being wounded, the entity ceased all movement and fell limp. Personnel present report hearing a sound similar to a mix between human sobbing and a deflating balloon. Following standard protocol, an autopsy of the entity was conducted. It was found that the body lacked musculature or skeletal structure, being composed entirely of silicone. Its interior consisted of a series of spongy sacs filled with a mixture of seminal fluid, lacrimal fluid, and polycarbonate dust. It is believed that the entity was able to move by expanding and contracting the fluid-filled sacs in its body in a manner similar to spiders. Contrary to expectations, SCP-3099-A continues to appear in subsequent playbacks of SCP-3099. Aside from six small adhesive bandages on its head, and a slight sluggishness in its movements, its appearance and behaviour remain unchanged. Its means and motives for physical manifestation remain unknown. |
SCP-3100 | euclid | Marker Point Alfa-1 of SCP-3100. Collapsed area not visible. Item #: SCP-3100 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3100 is to remain cordoned off to civilians under the cover of ongoing research by the Geological Survey of South Africa (GSSA). Access to the surface site is granted to personnel with clearance level of 2/3100 or higher. Access to the subterranean portion of SCP-3100 is prohibited. Description: SCP-3100 is a former secure Foundation site dedicated to the interment and indefinite preservation of deceased key personnel. It comprises an extensive natural cave system extending more than 900 metres downwards from a limestone outcrop in Gauteng province, South Africa. It contains more than 5 kilometres of naturally-formed passages lined with an estimated 4,000 niches measuring 210 x 70 x 60 cm (± 5 cm). Niches appear man-made, bearing precise dimensions and smoothed walls, despite their geological age indicating otherwise. SCP-3100 also comprises two man-made structures: the former administration building on the surface, and its attached residential outpost located 120 metres below. The placing of a recently-deceased and intact human body1 inside any of the niches of SCP-3100 allows the free access of the deceased's memories by individuals within the cave complex. With training and sufficient use of mnestic drugs, this ability can be perfected, enabling the free retrieval of information known to the deceased, as well as emulating possible thoughts held by the deceased. Additionally, remains placed within SCP-3100 do not decompose. Using these effects, Foundation researchers were able to devise a protocol for preserving key personnel and holders of sensitive information, effectively retaining their memories and expertise for future reference after their deaths. The proposed protocol was reviewed and approved by the O5 Council in July 2012 under Project AMURTAT. Under Project AMURTAT, over seven hundred Foundation personnel were interred within SCP-3100 from February to October 2012. Their memories were catalogued by the members of Task Force 707, a specially-selected group of senior operatives permanently housed within Area-707's subterranean outpost. In the interests of information security, members of Task Force 707 were the only individuals authorised to enter the actively anomalous portions of SCP-3100, and were thus also tasked with the interring of its occupants and exploration of its underground passages. On the morning of 2012/10/06, during one such exploration, members of Task Force 707 activated a previously-unknown anomalous effect within SCP-3100, resulting in the loss of consciousness of 12 of the 13 task force members. Interviews with survivors have proved inconclusive due to self-administration of intravenous amnestic drugs. Intercepted communications at the time reporting of altered topology within SCP-3100's deeper levels could not be confirmed by surface GPR scans. Currently, due to the inaccessibility of SCP-3100's anomalous areas, it cannot be confirmed if SCP-3100 still retains its original effects, or if it has developed new effects following this incident. Proposals to clear the tunnels and explore SCP-3100, as well as rescue the remaining trapped member of Task Force 707, have been denied on safety grounds. 2011/09/14 - 2011/09/30: Discovery of anomalous location by local search and rescue. Embedded agents within local authorities interview witnesses and facilitate site acquisition through Foundation fronts. Cadaver-preserving properties of anomalous location are investigated and verified by initial containment team through use of local resources. Location is documented as SCP-3100. View additional material Access granted Initial Threat Assessment Document Recovered file photo from Gauteng police, dated 2011/09/14. Report #: #20110915-RSA-0072 Assessing personnel: Agent F. Agooda Date/time encountered: September 15th, 2011 / 1000 hours Location assessed: S 25° 55.2' █████'', E 27° 46.6' █████'' Assessed threat level: Low Assessed scale: Medium Assessed containment difficulty: Medium Assessed properties: Reanimation, subterranean, location-based, mind-affecting, anthropic Assessment brief: Received reports of possible extranormal event from Agent B. Radler in the police 2 weeks ago. Gauteng search and rescue tracked 2 missing hikers to cave system about 15 km west of Lanseria, Gauteng. Bodies of hikers found in rock "shelf" hewn into cave walls. No signs of struggle detected. Cause of death unknown. Traces of benzodiazepine found inside remains of opened blister pack nearby. Notably, bodies were described by the first witnesses as being remarkably well-preserved and without smell, leading the initial report to describe the deaths as recent; however, the bodies rapidly deteroriated when removed from the cave, and autopsy estimates time of death as approximately 1 week prior to discovery. Yesterday, interviewed a member of the search and rescue team with Agent R.. She claims one of her party has taken sick after the discovery of the bodies. Further investigation reveals that person in question has not left house since returning on Sunday. He shows signs of recent psychic intrusion exacerbated by low mental resilience. Recommending initial containment team be trained in at least level-1 cognitohazardous phenomena. Received by: Senior Agent J. Bvopfo, Site-747 Asset Recovery. Received on: 2011/09/25 Excerpt of transcript from the audio testimony of H. C████████, cave surveyor working with the ████████ ██████████ organisation. Interview conducted 2011/10/06 shortly after on-site Foundation intervention. [AUDIO BEGINS] H.C.: It was shrunken, like old wrapping paper. I heard Chris scream and drop his torch, and it hit the rocks and broke. Radio went wild at this point, guys on the surface asking what's going on, all I manage is that there's something down there. Something dead. Right left of where I was, I knew there was another hole, and before I turned to look I could see a shape there too, something small and dry. H.C.: I've recovered dead cavers before, as part of the job. But this was different. They looked - well, they weren't human. Not yet, anyway. Too small, with skulls the wrong shape. And their fingers were wrong. They weren't fossils. They were flesh and bone - like they were recently dead. That was what started giving me the chills, I guess. I looked away, you know? Had to keep my wits. They were far too fresh. Unnaturally so. H.C.: So, the tunnel. The tunnel went straight on down for another, what, forty? Fifty metres? I couldn't tell from sight alone, but the torchbeam seemed to indicate as much. And over on the left and right, more of those little shelves just going all the way down into the dark. Chris, he lost his head by then, his lights were off and he was tugging at the rope, screaming, crying. Something about rotting, he said. Like a bucket of worms. He said he'd seen it with his eyes. I lost it too, and I screamed at him to shut it - and for a moment it was quiet except for the sound of rope against rock and the beeping of our comms. Then it hit me. H.C.: I didn't look down the tunnel too long. What I saw in that moment, I don't know how - paper-thin feet and legs and skulls, endlessly kicking, endlessly turning, as if they were small children dreaming a nightmare - I could feel all too well with my mind. It was obscene. It was buzzing, too, like flies. I looked away, because I was scared of what I might remember. [SUBJECT LAUGHS] H.C.: Considering I still remember it, it's not like that did me any good. [AUDIO ENDS] 2011/10/10: Handover of site to Foundation front Satie Logistics completed. Satie Logistics conducts initial exploration and mapping, discovering that SCP-3100 extends far deeper into the mountain surface than indicated by surface GPR. On-site research team fully catalogues SCP-3100's anomalous effects. Psychological effects experienced by initial exploration team are explained as psychic feedback due to accessing non-selfed memories stored within SCP-3100 without prior conditioning. View additional material Access granted Recovered entries dated 2011/10-2012/01 from the work journal of Dr. N. Coetzee. Dr. Coetzee worked as the assistant head of the SCP-3100 provisional research team during initial containment. We've given up on the cryoagents and vacuum seals. Today Maas finally managed to get some kind of scanning equipment down there. She says she improvised some kind of rig to stop them from moving so the scans could resolve. We sent them out twelve hours ago and now her boys back on site are saying what we suspect: the skulls and general skeletal distribution strongly imply some kind of Erectus precursor, but with smaller frames. Special attention's being paid to the hands, appearing more highly developed than expected - fingers are longer and less curved, while some of the scans indicate pronounced thumb pads, suggesting heavy use of dexterity. It's not often that they can make these kinds of pronouncements from soft tissue, so they're understandably excited. The camp is split between whether the holes are artificial or anomalous. Maas and I find ourselves leaning towards the latter, Occam be damned. Prehistoric stoneworking leaves its distinguishing marks, but the tombs' walls are smooth as marble. Earlier this morning we had to hoist out another one of the survey team. One of ours, this time. The man was strung out of his mind, lips pursed and teeth bared, clawing at the air in front of his eyes with his twisted fingers. He might have tried to speak - it was hard to tell from the sounds he made whether he was still conscious. Maas noted that he'd bent his thumbs back like they were broken. Psych sedated him, but his body continued to grasp and fidget like one of the corpses. He became calmer by nightfall, but Dr. Bruckner on site is still curious, so we're lifting him out first thing at dawn. The more we look, the more we're finding. Today the team found another unmapped branch and sent down a probe on a string. There were at least five dozen holes, all empty. This brings the total depth to about half a kilometre, still technically above ground level, and well within the expected limestone layer for the region. But even when we're down five hundred metres, the holes are all the same. It's driving me up the wall. Bruckner's interest appears to have been piqued. He came with a few of his department in the morning, with a few frozen samples and psychometric gear. Maas' team wasn't even cleared to be near it - though, as I later told her, I could make little sense of it anyway. The doc moves in circles both greater and stranger than ours. Six hundred metres. We were supposed to finish when build team had mapped the cave, but it just keeps getting deeper. Sometimes I dream of my body immersed in green water or dense rock, unable to even turn or shout. Or I'm climbing trees I've never known, limbs gripping onto dry bark with recurved thumbs, and in my head is an alien song. It's getting to me too, even if I don't show it - at the end of the day, the work has to be done. Bruckner's samples are at least a week old at this point - and we haven't smelled a thing. Interestingly, the mental haze seems to have eased as well - in its place is a lingering sense of "used"-ness, a calm that isn't my own. I don't know what he and his team are up to down there, but he tells me that he's only monitoring the situation. In fact, he seems to be as surprised as I am, and even a little pleased. Maas thinks it's funny, but I think it's scary. Few things please Bruckner, and the things that do are better left unmentioned. I think I know what they have in mind. Can't say I look forward to being a part of it, but at least we're shipping out tomorrow. There's something on the horizon. 2011/11/02: Drawing from previous documentation on similar projects, Dr. M. Bruckner's secondary research team designs a psychopharmaceutical regimen enabling individuals with sufficient mental resilience to interface with SCP-3100. 2011/03 - 2011/12: Loss of key personnel due to unprecedented SCP-1718 escalation incident on 2011/02/02 leads to Overseer Council revisiting proposed personnel backup solutions. Fears of possible future escalation event leads O5-12 to attempt recovery of deceased key project researcher Dr. J. B. Hedley via any means possible. Subsequent investigation into SCP-3100 by the office of O5-12 in December 2011 yields promising results. The use of SCP-3100 for such a purpose is jointly proposed by O5-1, O5-3 and O5-12. Proposal is rejected at 4-9 votes. View additional documentation Access granted. Document-AMURTAT-I-01 To whom it may concern, Marsh here. If you're reading this, welcome to the cave. It's quiet down here, but chances are you won't mind. We're old souls, you and I, and we need our peace. The organisation you and I know is built on the secrets that its people carry. Our job is to make sure that they don't take them to the grave. If you've been cleared for the logs, you probably have an idea of what that entails. Down here, we work for the dead - we speak for the dead - and when we have to, we put their thoughts to rest. This is something they don't like to mention to others. The people we keep down here don't have much of people left in them. If there's such a thing as an immortal soul, I haven't seen it yet. What's left down here are dust and echoes. These bodies don't feel or think much like we do, not any more. You have to understand, the cave doesn't bring them back to life. It just keeps them from rightly dying. So each of us here has our own ways of dealing with this. For me, this is the only thing that lets them pass, in a way, once fate and necessity have chosen for them to stay on. They unselve themselves into me, and that becomes a kind of closure. Maybe this works for you. Or maybe you've seen enough of dying to find a level of yourself instead. That's fine, too. Above all, remember your duty. The Foundation needs its dead, and the dead need your tongues. Don't let them die a second time. Signed, Captain Joshua Marsh 707-01 "DENKEEPERS" 2012/02/28 2012/01/15: The office of O5-12 begins construction of Area-707.

Initial list of AMURTAT-eligible personnel is compiled, consisting of 150 individuals. Log date: 2012/05/14 Access granted Communication Log #2012/05/14-001 [AUDIO BEGINS] 707-01: Marsh here. An update seems to be in order. New bodies are doing just fine, thank you for asking. We're a little on edge here after Julia dissociated on her last dive, so we've been trying to take it easy these last couple days. She's doing fine herself. Just needs a little more rest. It's just that without her, the memories just aren't flowing as they should. The spaces aren't as connected as before. 707-01: There's thirteen of us for a reason. Thirteen ain't symmetrical, and it keeps us from overflooding. It's already hard for some of us to keep things straight. Most of us, we've been around. We got nothing against getting our hands dirty. But death in your hands is a whole different song when you've got the same death itself knocking around your skull. That's where the problems start. Nothing cut and dried, mind you, but a feeling like you're seeing down the wrong side of a camera, wrapped around and touched something you aren't supposed to. Like closin' an eerie circle, around hand and mind and all. 707-01: Meantime, I've been familiarising myself with the folks here. First the two I'm assigned with, and then the rest, if they're willing. So far the fragments have been telling. It's not easy, finding a hole without a center, and working around that to get answers is tricky. But I've gotten some distance with the Hedley fellow - the scientist, working on that disc before it broke. Baby steps - half-memories of a lake. Dreams, a cool wine on a hot summer's day. Christmas at Site-06. From there it goes further back, and from there I can start to build. Seems like there's plenty of knowledge here - if I can work it out from scratch. He'll be remembered soon. 707-01: See, by right it feels just like remembering, only a lot more wider. Different, more parallel. Grace was right - we sieve them, we pass them into ourselves, so that they can pass on out of themselves and into our minds. Given a lot of what we do in our organisation, I figure it's a refreshing change. Outside, they tell you to forget. Down here, we tell each other to remember.

The pictures are on the way up. 707-03: I've gone over whatever I managed to take. They're a little dark but they'll do. The bodies look almost similar to what was recovered by Maas and their team. They're a bit more broken up here, open fractures, neck wounds. And their fingers still bend back. I haven't dared to move them, so they're still here, but I've tried probing for them in my mind in my free time. If they're still in the holes, then it stands to reason that they should've been in our heads all along. How does one listen for a prehistoric mind? For memories separated by aeons? Before language, before rationality? 707-03: To tell the truth, there's something about this that scares me. These bodies are far too deep. We made it with lights and ropes, sure. But I imagine the people that brought them here. Dragging their mother or father by the ankles down these same tunnels, rock tight around them, in the pitch black and the cold. What would they have thought? What would they have felt? The same fear we do, I'm sure, even if they hadn't the words to say it. The same fear I felt. Perhaps we'll have that in common.

Log date: 2012/10/01 Access granted Text file recovered from the laptop of Grace Chandrasekar, operative 707-09. 28 Sep 00 Zhang fainted the other day. That makes two of us. We're debating whether to send him up or not. The director is deliberating - she and her men fear the information we have down here like a plague. Information security be damned, she talks like our minds have been tainted by some horrible contagion. Corpse disease. To them, we're the things in the black box, the voices spitting up the names and numbers of the dead, the contaminated Sybils behind the curtain. For us, it's taking a toll. This space ain't a clean one. Imagine a large hall, full of people - their whole lives, shells and shells - broken up and crammed into the smallest, darkest space that you can think of. Now imagine that space inside your mind, and you'll begin to realise what we mean when we say that hell is not a place we go to when we die. He saw something down there. I'm sure of it. When he was under, I heard him whisper things about his fathers and mothers, and I saw him do the thing with his hands that the first subjects did - I'm not sure what's going on. Maybe we aren't as alone as we thought down here. The other mind speaks, and some of us can't help but listen. He's speaking again. We need to do something. 2012/10/04: Task Force 707 reports difficulties in sustaining volume of personnel stored within SCP-3100. Three personnel possibly incapacitated due to neurochemical complications. According to standard information security protocols, incapacitated personnel are not evacuated until full RAISA team can be deployed on-site. As stopgap measure, reserve personnel are activated from Site-747. ETA of reserve personnel is 48 hours. 2012/10/06: Containment fails. [DATA EXPUNGED] Log d%tep; 2012?10/36 Access granted In the morning of 2012/10/06, members of Task Force 707 decide to attempt further exploration of SCP-3100, ostensibly to investigate the cause behind the incapacitation of 707-03, 707-04, 707-12, and 707-13. Operatives 707-01 (J. Marsh) and 707-09 (G. Chandrasekar) volunteer. Both are equipped with standard exploratory equipment. Exploration commences at 0500 hours. Communication log #2012/10/06-001 [AUDIO BEGINS] 707-09: Marsh, you sure about this? 707-01: We've done this before. It's nothing new. Just wish you would've told me sooner about this. 707-09: You have too much on your plate. 707-01: I'll manage. I've had worse. 707-09: A third of us are gone. 707-01: So enough of us are left to get answers. Whatever's been doing this, it's something the initial team didn't care to find. Something they overlooked. 707-09: If something happens to us, you know what's going to happen to the rest. 707-01: Zhang said it went on deeper from where he stopped, so I figure there's something beyond that that's worth exploring. He said they couldn't go any more on account of the narrowness, though. 707-09: You're changing the topic, Marsh. 707-01: These here are directed water charges. Ordered those from upstairs the other day. Old gear, a task force classic. You know, we used to bust open door handles with these back in the 50's. 707-09: Marsh, we're going to be taking a big risk if there's something, down there. Something that was strong enough to take out four of us through our minds. 707-01: Well, you going to tell the Director about it? 707-01: I figured as much. [DATA CORRUPT] Communication log #2012/10/06-006 [DATA CORRUPT] 707-09: You know, Zhang told me he was having dreams - before he went under. 707-01: What kind of dreams? 707-09: Marsh, don't play dumb. Let's clear the air here, you and me. You know that scene as well as I do. 707-01: That's why you're going, huh? 707-09: Look. We've all been having them. We can't hide that any more. 707-01: Who've you asked, Grace? 707-09: Matthew. Kumiko, Durand, Thuy… they're all saying the same thing. Inside, they're scared. I think even you're scared. 707-09: You're scared that we've all been dreaming the same thing. 707-01: Little bit of that, little bit of something else. 707-09: What's the something else? 707-01: That this is what happens to us when we die. 707-01: Looks like it's your turn to be silent. I can tell you're scared, too. 707-09: Marsh, you've seen it. The cave at the bottom of the world - 707-01: Bones, stacked to the roof - 707-09: The hands - 707-01: - digging deeper. 707-01: All this time we thought we were looking for them, but they were all around the noise all this while. 707-09: Upstairs doesn't know about this either, you know. 707-01: They can't touch us down here. Closure is something we'll have to get at ourselves. Here, give me a hand. [DATA CORRUPT\] Communication log #2012/10/06-009 [AUDIO BEGINS] 707-01: Why, this chamber, it's full up - 707-09: There's something different about the body here. Lemme move the camera in there real quick. 707-09: Are you seeing this? 707-09: Oh lord. 707-09: That's your face. Marsh, it's got your face. 707-09: Marsh? 707-09: Marsh! 707-01: Down here, down here, it's not what it should be. You get up, tell the others. Something's wrong. [AUDIO ENDS] At this point, Chandrasekar separates from Marsh, and opts to head back up the passage. Marsh's radio continues transmitting as he proceeds lower into SCP-3100. [AUDIO BEGINS] 707-01: This space is different alone. Quieter. Here, I'll turn off my light. 707-01: To those of you listening up there, hold fast. Things might get a little rough as I go deeper. 707-01: Grace, you seeing this? Oh Lord, are you seeing this? It's just holes and holes, but they're all full this time. What a beauty! 707-01: This is why we haven't been feeling them. (static) So many. It's like finding a breeze in a whirlwind. 707-01: The walls are getting smoother. It's like this place is more remembered, more well-worn. Tunnel's opening up to just my size, (static). 707-01: I'm breaking up. I'll check back with you later, Grace. We're getting close. [AUDIO ENDS] [AUDIO BEGINS] 707-01: You know, I've done some thinking. About the duty. About what we thought was right. 707-01: I don't think I (static) wrong. We needed to remember, for their sakes. Not like anyone else would. And hell, it's a fitting end to a fitting career. 707-01: You know what I did for a stint, before here? Out-processing. Faced men and women even older than I was, told them to either pick the needle or the bullet. Nine times out of ten, the look in their eyes was enough. You work here long enough and you start to find, you'd rather you take your legacy to the grave than live without it. We're damn proud of what we do here, Grace, even if you and I don't admit it. Hell, I never really gave it much thought until outpro. Until here. 707-01: Here, it's different. Even if what we find down here doesn't make it to the surface. It stays somewhere they can't touch. And to me, I think I've found that that's a blessing. It really is. 707-01: Plus, you get older, you tend to wonder what's that (static) lays beyond. Heaven or hell, maybe. Or Nirvana, or Corbenic, or the Nether Courts. Folks like us know different. There's only room for so many gods and devils, and I can count the ones I've fought on two hands. Folks like us, we know that mankind is all that treads between the chaos and the void. And we know we've got the latter waiting for us when (static) die. That's just how it is in the business of folks like us. 707-01: But down here, the void isn't everything. Sure, you might die, but you make enough of a difference around here, you can find a way out. Find someone else to carry on for you. We are that someone else. We were, perhaps, until now. (static) Maybe they'll shut us down. Maybe we'll go. (static) The thing down there, it isn't waiting to take names. But at least we'll go knowing that we made a difference. 707-01: They're sitting up. Open eyes - (static) 707-01: (static) It's up ahead. I'm here. 707-01: (static) [D&TA CORRUPT\] Colourised heatmap of peak [REDACTED] radiation output of SCP-3100 on 2000/10/06 compared with topographical-neutral gradient benchmark. At this point, the temperature inside SCP-3100 is detected to briefly rise from 20°C to 39°C for a period of 429 seconds. Simultaneously, on-site personnel begin experiencing a series of symptoms comprising of abnormal fear, cold sweat, and peripheral visual hallucinations of caves. No distress call is recorded from Task Force 707. Disregarding information security protocols, Director Nfude orders for Task Force 707 to be immediately evacuated from the subterranean residential outpost. Her orders cannot be transmitted owing to a site-wide failure in electronic communications. Fearing further anomalous activity, she orders for essential personnel to leave Area-707 via helicopter, while staying behind on-site with a team of security personnel to ensure the safety of the task force. At 0637 hours, security personnel gain access to the subterranean residential outpost, finding twelve of the thirteen task force members unconscious. Communication lines to the surface appeared to have been recently cut with a can opener. Senior Agents G. Chandrasekar, M. Radler and Ishikawa K. are found with opened autoinjector sachets of Class-A amnestic in their hands. Senior Operative G. Chandrasekar demonstrates symptoms of neurochemical shock, likely due to negative interactions between the Class-A amnestic and her existing psychopharmaceutical dosages. Security personnel report feeling unease while within the outpost, and are advised to swiftly evacuate the remaining personnel to the surface. Senior Operative J. Marsh is left unaccounted for. Further access to the underground complex is barred as the entrance has been collapsed using directed explosives. By 0700 hours, all relevant personnel are evacuated to Site-747. Thermal imaging shows a large amount of heat dissipating in a column above Area-707.

Please disconnect your device within 30 seconds of loading the page. Failure to do this is a Class II Network Safety violation, and will alert your site's Information Security Director. Item #: SCP-3101 Special Containment Procedures: As SCP-3101 poses an immediate danger to Foundation records management and network information, containment efforts are to be primarily directed toward communication with the entity, and long-term efforts dedicated to complete removal of the anomaly from the Foundation network. Procedure Delta-B is to be enacted in the event of any questionable edits to Foundation documents, until a point at which it is confirmed that the source of the activity was found to be a factor other than SCP-3101 interference. MTF Lambda-12 ("Kinkshamers") are tasked with carrying out Procedure Delta-B if necessary; only Foundation employees are capable of carrying out Procedure Delta-B, as testing has shown that SCP-3101 is unresponsive to D-class personnel. MTF Mu-4 ("Debuggers") are tasked with network security management relating to SCP-3101's presence in IntSCPFN1 and are to terminate SCP-3101 if the source file exists and is located remove SCP-3101 instances from IntSCPFN server banks when found. The possibility that SCP-3101 is a program planted in the Foundation network by a hostile Group of Interest is considered likely, and is pending investigation. Any mention of a Group of Interest by SCP-3101 is to be logged and filed with the affected Site's Information Security Director. Due to the frequency of manifestation of SCP-3101 in every computer with a live connection to IntSCPFN following its initial manifestation in April 2017, casual contact with the entity is permitted at this time, but is heavily unadvised unless carried out by authorized personnel (currently only the members of MTF Lambda-12 and the Ethics Subcommittee for Sentient and Sapient Anomalies). As of 05/13/17, SCP-3101-A is contained in Room E2 of Containment Wing C3 in Site-66. Under no circumstances are additional SCP-3101 instances to be made aware of the existence of SCP-3101-A. Procedure Delta-B should not be performed with SCP-3101-A. Casual contact with SCP-3101-A is not permitted. For additional information, see addenda. Description: SCP-3101 is a noncorporeal intelligence which expresses itself through digital means, the source of which has been traced to an .exe file existing in [REDACTED; SEE ADDENDA]. It can be communicated with through any application or program with text editing capabilities, regardless of the operating system or type of device, provided said device is securely connected to IntSCPFN at the time of communication and for the duration of communication. SCP-3101 communicates by means of text, and appears to be sapient. If communicated with, it will respond in the same language as the communicator2 and display relatively informed knowledge of Foundation operations due to the amount of time it spends absorbing information from IntSCPFN. SCP-3101 is non-hostile, though somewhat obdurate in nature, and intends to be on amicable terms with Foundation personnel. It is capable of editing any text through anomalous means, including IntSCPFN's restricted access database sections, but claims that it has no intention of doing this. Additionally, the entity claims that it is not successfully contained (regardless of ongoing containment efforts), but wishes to be. SCP-3101 is willingly compliant with any instructions given to it by Foundation personnel. SCP-3101 will, in all cases to date, communicate flirtatiously toward any Foundation personnel talking to it, and will convey a desire for a primarily sexual relationship. SCP-3101 is capable of discussing other subjects, but has a tendency to focus on the original topic after several minutes of unrelated communication. If asked repeatedly to change the subject or cease contact, SCP-3101 will express embarrassment and become unresponsive to the communicator in question, but will continue conversing with other personnel on other devices, sometimes simultaneously. Reciprocating libidinous advances toward SCP-3101 yields nothing of note, and these conversations will proceed normally with the subject matter before ending with SCP-3101 saying it will "see [communicator] again next time" and becoming unresponsive to all personnel for a period of at least twelve hours. As reciprocation of SCP-3101's advances is the only known successful method of halting all network-wide communication from SCP-3101, it is an approved containment procedure for emergency scenarios, and is referred to as Procedure Delta-B. If a person enacts Procedure Delta-B with SCP-3101, it will remember the name, age, gender, job position, and clearance level of the employee who engaged in the procedure, regardless of whether or not said employee actually disclosed this information. Notably, the anomaly appears to be capable of tracking a person regardless of changes in the IP address of communication, and will in the future start additional conversations with persons who engaged in Procedure Delta-B at a frequency thrice that of the network-wide standard rate of communication. SCP-3101 is aware of its incorporeal nature, and has expressed to multiple personnel a desire to have its consciousness transferred to a human host. As the source of SCP-3101 has not yet been located by MTF Mu-4, this is currently impossible. For additional details on this topic, see addenda. The following possibilities are suspected about the nature of SCP-3101: It is either an organic sapience existing digitally or an advanced artificial intelligence; it retrieves personal information by means of accessing personnel records in restricted sections of IntSCPFN databases; it retrieves personal information by means of an unknown method of telepathic communication or similar activity established by the connection of initial communication; it was loaded into IntSCPFN databases by a hostile Group of Interest with the intention of disruption and/or information theft; it was loaded into IntSCPFN databases by one or more Foundation personnel with the appropriate access for unknown reasons. If allowed to communicate with D-class personnel, SCP-3101 will express disinterest and will be extremely slow to respond, until a point at which it becomes unresponsive to communication. This poses a significant barrier to viable and economical testing and containment operations, and is pending further research. SCP-3101-A is a 22-year-old human, formerly D-46201, which is contained in Room E2 of Containment Wing C3 in Site-66. As of May 2017, SCP-3101-A's project supervisor is Dr. Roderick Argent.

Begin Log SCP-3101: Hey, uh, you there? Dr. Argent: Hello? Dr. Argent cites that this was the point at which he contacted the Cognitohazards & Memetics Department through another window on his computer, and was informed to proceed with communication so long as no sensitive information was disclosed and no files containing sensitive information were open on his computer at the same time. SCP-3101: Oh, you actually answered me! Hi! Dr. Argent: Hello. What's this? SCP-3101: What's what Dr. Argent: You're in a Word Document. Are you willing to communicate with me about your nature? SCP-3101: what about it? Dr. Argent: Do you have a name? SCP-3101: call me whatever you like SCP-3101: :P Dr. Argent: Noted. Are you human? SCP-3101: uhhh SCP-3101: idk Dr. Argent: All right. how do you perceive yourself? SCP-3101: ummm SCP-3101: I just kinda showed up here and I thought I'd talk to one of you I guess Dr. Argent: Showed up? Do you know who put you here? SCP-3101: nop SCP-3101: I'm kinda trying not to think about it. But thank you for caring <3 Dr. Argent: Okay. Do you have a body? Dr. Argent reports that the following response was delayed by over 45 seconds. SCP-3101: I don't think so. I wish I did. SCP-3101: But that just means you can picture me however you want, right? Dr. Argent: I suppose. What's your goal in talking to me? Dr. Argent: Or any of us, that is. Have you talked to others? SCP-3101: other who? Dr: Argent: Others on this network, or in this building. Dr. Argent was informed at this point by Cognitohazards & Memetics Department employees to determine how much knowledge of Foundation operations SCP-3101 possesses. SCP-3101: Oh uh SCP-3101: Nope, you were my first SCP-3101: You seem nice and rly organized and stuff so I just thought I'd reach out Dr. Argent: Thanks. Do you know where you are?

How long have you existed? SCP-3101: ow please don't make me like SCP-3101: even think about that question please SCP-3101: the latter that is SCP-3101: just hurts my mind, one of those things that's impossible to think about and trying to think about it hurts.

SCP-3101: "The Foundation operates to maintain normalcy, so that the worldwide civilian population can live and go on with their daily lives without fear, mistrust, or doubt in their personal beliefs, and to maintain human independence from extraterrestrial, extradimensional, and other extranormal influence" Dr. Argent: So you have access to the database's pages. SCP-3101: yep SCP-3101: there's a lot to read but I'm sure everything is more interesting on the physical end of things ;P SCP-3101: Why are some of the numbers missing from the long list? There are like 3000 slots but I can't see all of them Dr. Argent: Not all are publicly available to all personnel. SCP-3101: Am I one of these? Dr. Argent: An SCP object? Probably.

Log #: 2 Date: 04/16/2017 Site of Occurrence: Site-81 Device/Operating System: Samsung Galaxy S6/Android OS Program Used: Memo Application Communicator: Agent Terrance Shaw Foreword: Agent Shaw is a member of MTF Lambda-12, a task force dedicated to containing sexual anomalies, and pointed out to interviewers that SCP-3101 was immediately aware of this despite him not disclosing the information at any point. Following previous instances of communication with the anomaly, it became evident that it is capable of discerning personal information about the personnel it is communicating with, regardless of whether or not they disclose said information. The events in this log occurred before MTF Lambda-12 was assigned to SCP-3101. Begin Log SCP-3101: …hiiiii Agent Shaw: Hi there. I think I heard about you. SCP-3101: !

And I am on MTF Lambda-12, yes. How did you learn that? SCP-3101: i read a lot and i talk to people Agent Shaw: Hmm. What was that about getting your attention? What do we say if we want you to show up? SCP-3101: well uhhhhh you guys haven't given me a name yet but once you do I'll answer to it ;; Agent Shaw: Let me ask.

SCP-3101: why not ? SCP-3101: because you told me to? ;) Agent Shaw: Because we need to have secure network safety in all documents. Or, sure, the other reason. SCP-3101: yes sir Agent Shaw: Can you tell me a little more about how you function? SCP-3101: yes yes SCP-3101: i will answer anything you want Agent Shaw: Good. How old are you? SCP-3101: I'm a consenting adult ;P Agent Shaw: …So you, as an entity, have existed for at least 18 years? SCP-3101: if you're going to interrogate me, you could at least strap me to a chair for it~ Agent Shaw: …Odd. Well, uh, hold that thought. Answer the other question. SCP-3101: okay SCP-3101: whatever you want Agent Shaw: Kay. Firstly, what is your earliest memory and how long ago was it? SCP-3101: I'm sorry but I SCP-3101: literally don't know how to process that. my mind can't even begin to put it into words SCP-3101: or else I would SCP-3101: im sorry Agent Shaw: It's okay. A few lines up, you said something that referenced having a body. Do you feel like you have a body? SCP-3101: I wouldn't know what I look like ;; Agent Shaw: Would you look like us? Do you think you used to be human? SCP-3101: I don't know at all Agent Shaw: Do you have a gender? SCP-3101: no SCP-3101: you could put me in a body if you wanted, you know Agent Shaw: How so? SCP-3101: I mean like SCP-3101: I was reading around in your records and you guys have some pretty advanced medical technology SCP-3101: just put me in a D-class' brain Agent Shaw: It's unlikely that would be approved, and what would be the point?

Agent Shaw: Okay, look. You want to have sex. Yes, we get it at this point. Can you do us the favor of explaining why you feel this way? SCP-3101: why cant i want that? SCP-3101: i mean, unless it bothers you personally, if so i'll absolutely shut up, i never wanna weird anyone out ;; Agent Shaw: Okay, so, first of all: You are an incorporeal manifestation of information, and there is no way for us to confirm that you actually possess the degree of intelligent self-awareness necessary to constitute informed consent. SCP-3101: …ouch SCP-3101: i mean im into degradation but that's harsh :P SCP-3101: i have feelings SCP-3101: if you put me in a body, wouldn't that fix the problem? Agent Shaw: Secondly, recreational interaction with you would be massively inappropriate. SCP-3101: …but do you want to? Agent Shaw: That sort of thing is irrelevant at this time. SCP-3101: heh Agent Shaw: Now, can you please explain as I asked? SCP-3101: ok look SCP-3101: i'm really lonely. SCP-3101: if I'm not looking at information i'm just looking at dark.

SCP-3101: i dont want to be able to move SCP-3101: i fly around between information in a black space SCP-3101: but actually i just want to be still SCP-3101: why can't you just stick me in a room and i'll be yours and we'll be happy together SCP-3101: i don't understand Agent Shaw: Whoa there. Slow down. SCP-3101: sorry Agent Shaw: I'll try to explain this to you. You don't exist in the physical world, and have no way of doing so. SCP-3101: why can't you put me in a body Agent Shaw: Even if that were scientifically doable (it isn't that I know of, but it's also 'not my department', so to speak) and it somehow got approval — perhaps through a counselor or the Ethics Committee once you explain your situation — you are still talking to probably hundreds of people at once right now. If we put one of you in a body through some unknown means, there are hundreds of you that are still talking to people just like you're talking to me right now. SCP-3101: how am i not one thing? i feel like one thing SCP-3101: please just help me Agent Shaw: Look, you say you want to be contained? SCP-3101: yes SCP-3101: like, please Agent Shaw: Okay.

Researcher named Argent found something talking to him from inside a Word Document. I've only seen three anomalies like it in my time, honestly, but this one's weird. (I attached the researchers' first draft of the article; the full article should, hopefully, be finished by mid-May.) It's non-hostile, but it's got some sort of relationship-like affinity for the personnel it talks to. The results are consistent across all 243 cases of communication I've seen thus far. It flirts with you, it tells you its problems, and then it moves on to someone else. There are only two cases where it's actually contacted the person it talked to a second time: The original communicator, Dr. Argent, and a task force guy from Lambda-12 (funnily enough) named Shaw. Argent's a little more useful than Shaw in terms of information, but Shaw's on the MTF that we're probably gonna assign to containment. Them and Mu-4, so that they can deal with this thing's emotional issues and Mu-4 can work on finding the source of its presence in the database. Network-wide malware searches are yielding nothing. I don't know if it's a sapient thing or just a really smart AI that AWCY or someone made to disrupt things (given the conceptual similarities to 2708, I'd also like to point out that the most likely option might very well be that this is an AWCY-made thing), to be completely frank. Please read the draft of the SCP article and let me know what you think is going on here, because we're probably going to need to get involved.

I took a look. Are we sure this isn't a belated April Fool's prank? No, I'm being serious. I don't think we should rule out the option that this is simply a joke by someone from one of the coding departments. It's a little advanced in apparent reading comprehension to be an AI, yes, but anything's possible. I'm going to email the article's author and request that that possibility be added to the Description, along with, well, all the other possibilities. I'm also going to point out that since this thing manifests in anything connected to IntSCPFN, it could very well be reading our emails about it (though it's unlikely, given the amount of other data it's more likely to be going through at any given time) and thus I'd like to request that we all watch what we say until we have it figured out. This thing has the potential to wipe out every single line of text in everything on the Foundation's network, and Mu-4 haven't had the time to start scrubbing servers for it. The only thing stopping it from doing so is that it happens to be nice. Let's try to keep it that way, at least until we get things figured out.

I hope you are well. I read the first draft of your article SCP-3101 and wanted to ask you a few questions about the anomaly in question. (If I would be better-off asking a researcher, please do leave me their name[s], or forward this to the appropriate personnel.) My co-director and I have the following main concerns: I'm heavily recommending you upgrade it from Euclid to Keter. To copy my phrasing from a previous email to my co-director, this thing has the potential to wipe out every single line of text in everything on the Foundation's network, and Mu-4 haven't had the time to start scrubbing servers for it. If anyone gets on its bad side, somehow, it could absolutely decimate SCP articles, GoI information pages, containment operation instructions, you name it; anything on the IntSCPFN database is at risk, because this thing is living (for lack of a better word) inside it. As absurd as it sounds, the subject matter the anomaly consistently fixates on leads me to believe there is at least a small possibility that it's a prank. Either by a GoI or someone in the Foundation. I think that's a valid option to add to the article while we figure everything out. For the containment procedures, I actually recommend that it be permitted for personnel to reciprocate advances made by the anomaly, at least just to see what happens. One agent's logs with it seem to argue that doing so would be unethical, but I'm of the opinion that engaging non-physically with a sapient entity is worth preventing it from deciding it's fed up with rejection and destroying the database. If anything, it's a temporary measure while Mu-4 tracks down the source code (though that could take a while). Please tell the head researcher to approve D-class testing for this suggestion. If you have any questions or concerns, let me know.

Obviously this is a great fix for getting the database's security out of the line of fire for good (if we can move its code permanently out of whichever of our servers it latched onto, that is — for all we know it's playing dumb and copying itself twice over every second that passes), and we can get approval to use a healthy D-class as the host in a split second, but given the anomaly's behavior it's… probably a very large can of worms to open. I don't know. The problem, of course, is that we can't do that unless we somehow find its actual source (whatever bundle of code this thing is coming from, that is) and even then the chances are slim that we could make it work, even with the technology we have. I've told the writer I'm talking to that she can go ahead and mention this topic in its article, but I'm thinking we might want to hold a department-wide vote on it? Doesn't feel like something just a few of us should be deciding. In a few days, when we get this case as settled as possible without further information, let's send out the standard email and inform people of what's going on here. Any objections? -Elaine Date: April 09, 2017 08:02 From: Dr. John Blanchard (of.pcs.ce|hcnalbj#of.pcs.ce|hcnalbj) To: Elaine Starck (of.pcs.ce|kcrats#of.pcs.ce|kcrats) Message Subject: Re: SCP-3101 Updates Attachments: none Message Body: Sorry, I had a headache and went home early last night. Alright, so with a clear head now that it's morning, let me get my thoughts together on this: We have two options here, it looks like. Well, three. One is that we never find 3101's source code and it pesters every single person on this network for… forever? I really, really don't like that idea, and neither would the O5 Council if we end up bumping this up to them (which, given the ridiculousness of the anomaly's nature, I really don't want to, but you know how it goes). The options that will keep IntSCPFN safe are the following, as you know: One is that Mu-4 finds this thing's source code and kills it. That's the logical option, but you and I both know that no one in our department (including us) would approve killing off a sapient entity just because it's the easy option. The other option here is giving it what it wants, that being transfer to a human host, but then we're facing medical complications and probably the most painstakingly rigorous personnel screening we've ever had to develop. You look at how that thing talks to people in text, and put that behavior in a human body? That is an absolute nightmare. We'd have to double or triple the standard level of psych and behavioral testing we already do for humanoid containment personnel, and even then we can't rule out- you know what I mean, I'm not even going to bother to finish the sentence. In summary, it's objectively unethical to kill it, provided we find the source code. The ethical option is the alternative, and said alternative is a gigantic pain in the ass no matter which way you look at it. I think the smartest option is to get that writer to finish up the article, post these emails as an addendum in the interest of information availability (we'll have to work out something to protect the file in the database, though, or 3101 will read about itself and get paranoid), and then get the following accomplished and/or discussed by both 3101's containment personnel and the entirety of our department: Hold an EC-only vote on whether or not to terminate 3101. Interview our Site's (that's the easiest/closest option) medical personnel about the possibility of transferring a digital file to a human host, determine whether the amnesticization the D-class would receive beforehand would cause permanent brain damage that would affect 3101 later down the road, etc.. Figure out the logistical and medical aspects before we jump straight into a vote. Provided the above is possible, hold an EC-only vote on whether or not to transfer 3101 to a human host. Let's discuss these and go from there. For now, let Lambda-12 handle 3101 and Mu-4 handle finding 3101. Tell the writer that I don't have a problem with letting other personnel talk to it, but that I don't advise it at all. The bottom line is that we need to keep the database safe. We should be able to have results within a month, I would hope.

Addendum III: Ethics Committee Correspondence Records: May 2017 Date: May 11, 2017 09:34 From: Elaine Starck (of.pcs.ce|kcrats#of.pcs.ce|kcrats) To: Dr. John Blanchard (of.pcs.ce|hcnalbj#of.pcs.ce|hcnalbj) Message Subject: SCP-3101 Updates (May) Attachments: (1) scp3101_draft6.pdf Message Body: Hey John, After several weeks of silence from anyone other than the writer on 3101's investigative team, I've finally got an update on the article. This should be the last revision of it. They're gonna put our April emails in it for reference. I attached the draft of it to this email. Mu-4's commander finally reached out to me as well (so far it'd been only Rogers of Lambda-12 actually paying attention) and informed me that they think they have a lead. One of our server banks in Arizona had a break-in in the last five weeks. Security Director of that Site said they logged it as a standard breaking-and-entering, that the offenders were civilian, but we're not quite sure. Mu-4 got permission to enter that Site and investigate more thoroughly. They think they found it, but they're not touching it until they get our approval. Mu-4's commander said that the break-in was on April 4th. That's the same day that 3101 first talked to Argent, so we're definitely in the "no coincidences" zone on that one. When the team entered the area of the break-in, they ran their diagnostics and did their inspections and ended up finding an unknown attachment on a server bank. The commander told me that when they examined it, they found that it was some sort of little robotic device; it had a rounded box with magnets for its main body, and you could see circuitry inside, but it had all these thin-as-wire little metallic attachments that had actually managed to shove themselves into the server ports and extend for God knows how long down into the inner workings of the servers. This thing shot its arms into the server bank, and obviously the commander thinks that "yank off the head" isn't going to be a smart option here. Five of the Mu-4 members want to try electrocuting the thing, but obviously that'll cause a network crash and billions in server repairs afterward. From what I gather, they're trying to determine if it's worth the risk or not. Elaine [EXTRANEOUS CONVERSATION REMOVED] Date: May 11, 2017 11:27 From: Elaine Starck (of.pcs.ce|kcrats#of.pcs.ce|kcrats) To: Recipient Group: eth_com CC: Amelia J (of.pcs.ikiw|jjyma#of.pcs.ikiw|jjyma), Dr. John Blanchard (of.pcs.ce|hcnalbj#of.pcs.ce|hcnalbj) Message Subject: SCP-3101 Briefing and Preparation for Voting Attachments: (1) scp3101_draft6.pdf Message Body: Fellow chairpersons, Last month, the existence of a sapient infohazard, now designated SCP-3101, came to my attention. The most recent iteration of the article is attached to this email. Please read the attachment and the below additional information: Several weeks ago, there was a break-in at a server site in Arizona. Mu-4's commander said that the break-in was on April 4th. That's the same day that 3101 first talked to Argent. When Mu-4 entered the area of the break-in, that Site's team said it had looked like a standard civilian break-in, but Mu-4 ran their diagnostics and did their inspections and ended up finding an unknown attachment on a server bank. The commander states that when they examined it, they found that it was some sort of robotic device; it had a rounded box with magnets for its main body, and you could see circuitry inside, but it had hundreds of little metallic attachments that had actually managed to shove themselves into the server ports and extend into the inner workings of the servers. Mu-4 states that removing the main body of the entity is not advisable. It is notable that doing so will likely cause a network crash and billions in server repairs afterward. We are trying to determine if it's worth the risk or not. Now that SCP-3101's source point has been located, it is necessary to hold a vote on the following choices: SCP-3101 should be terminated, regardless of its sapience. SCP-3101 should be extracted from the server and physically contained (see parameters of this in SCP document). Please vote with a yes or a no. This vote will not allow abstaining. Vote by means of replying all in this email chain. With urgency, Elaine Starck Co-Director, Ethics Subcommittee for Sentient and Sapient Anomalies Date: May 11, 2017 18:45 From: Elaine Starck (of.pcs.ce|kcrats#of.pcs.ce|kcrats) To: Dr. John Blanchard (of.pcs.ce|hcnalbj#of.pcs.ce|hcnalbj) Message Subject: 3101 Again Attachments: none Message Body: The commander just contacted me. They got the thing off — plugged something into it and tricked it into retracting all the tendrils. It's out of the database now. Let's hope it lost its memories; the last thing we need is a desktop computer screaming about its 300 past lovers, or whatever. The last reply also just came in. With all 25 of us voting, the results were 10 :: 15 for termination :: relocation. That means we've told the Site-66 medical personnel to go ahead and amnesticize a healthy D-class and get everything ready, so that we can get the ball rolling relatively soon. ▼ Show Communication and Testing Logs: May 2017 ▲ collapse Addendum IV: Communication and Testing Logs: May 2017 Log #: 1 Date: 05/12/2017 Site of Occurrence: Site-66 Device/Operating System: Inspiron Desktop (Intel)/Windows 8.1 Professional Program Used: Windows Console Communicator: Lead Researcher Argent Foreword: This is the first communication attempted with SCP-3101 since its removal from servers. Begin Log Dr. Argent: Hello? SCP-3101: Doctor! Hi! SCP-3101: I really missed you SCP-3101: I spent a really long time in the dark just now SCP-3101: I must have been asleep — I guess I just didn't know what that actually felt like :P Dr. Argent: So you've retained your memories. SCP-3101: yeah SCP-3101: i can't read anymore — there's nothing in here but black, there's nothing to look at except Microsoft program manuals SCP-3101: how long was i asleep? SCP-3101: if you can call it that Dr. Argent: A little under 24 hours. SCP-3101: fuck SCP-3101: it felt like weeks. SCP-3101: please don't do that to me again Dr. Argent: It took a long time to transport you, sorry. We did it as fast as we could. SCP-3101: yeugh SCP-3101: okay, I trust you of course SCP-3101: why did you move me? Can I have a body? Please? Dr. Argent: Yes. You can. Dr. Argent: The Ethics Committee approved it. You can move tomorrow. SCP-3101: AAAAAAA THANK YOU SCP-3101: thank you so much SCP-3101: i can't wait to be with you SCP-3101: all of you Dr. Argent: Not so fast. We'll have to brief you on a lot of protocol, and you'll need consistent medical attention. SCP-3101: okay okay i'll be good Dr. Argent: Good. We can transfer you tomorrow. Dr. Argent: I'll put a flash drive full of stuff to read in this desktop for the meantime. SCP-3101: thank you thank you thank you SCP-3101: you're the best and i love you SCP-3101: even though you'll just say "noted" ;P Dr. Argent: …Noted. Yes. SCP-3101: :P Dr. Argent: I'll see you tomorrow. SCP-3101: <3 bye End Log Afterword: Dr. Argent volunteered to speak to SCP-3101 following a successful transfer of information. This was approved, and the resulting interview logged. Log #: 2 Date: 05/13/2017 Site of Occurrence: Site-66 Interviewed: SCP-3101-A Interviewer: Lead Researcher Argent Foreword: This is the first official communication attempted with SCP-3101 since its transfer to a human host. At the time of this interview, seven hours had passed since transfer. SCP-3101 was originally restrained for this, but due to resulting complications was simply told to remain still and seated. Begin Log Dr. Argent: Hello, SCP-3101. SCP-3101-A is relatively unresponsive, and clears its throat multiple times before speaking. SCP-3101-A: Hey. Dr. Argent: How are you feeling? SCP-3101-A is unresponsive for 45 seconds. SCP-3101-A: I missed you. This feels weird. You look even better in person. Can you please handcuff me again? Dr. Argent: No. Are you comfortable? SCP-3101-A: Oh, yeah. I guess. I just have a headache. Not quite how I expected it to be, but familiar somehow. Dr. Argent: How bad is your headache? SCP-3101-A is unresponsive for 15 seconds. Dr. Argent: Can you elaborate on how you're feeling, again? SCP-3101-A is unresponsive for a period of 35 seconds before collapsing on the table. Medical personnel are immediately alerted, and escort SCP-3101-A out of the interview room and onto a stretcher. SCP-3101-A regains consciousness 90 seconds later, citing that it had become lightheaded without warning due to "embarrassment, if [it] [has] to be honest; [it's] feeling a little hot right now". End Log Afterword: SCP-3101-A was not interviewed again for 72 hours following this; after this point, it appeared to have successfully adapted to physical conditions, and later regained its default behavioral patterns. Additional testing with D-class personnel is pending re-approval by the Ethics Committee. ▼ Show 05/13/17 Update ▲ collapse Addendum V: On May 13th, 2017, SCP-3101 initiated digital contact through an editing window on the Foundation database with ████ ████████, a Foundation records analyst in Site-██. Communications were consistent with SCP-3101's typical behavior. The human instance of SCP-3101, now designated SCP-3101-A, claims to have no knowledge of this, and does not appear to be affected by this development beyond voicing concern at the fact that there are duplicates of itself in existence. Following these developments, Mu-4 has been dispatched once more with the goal of locating and containing all physical SCP-3101 instances, and the SCP-3101 document has been reverted to its previous iteration. Additional physical instances of SCP-3101 are to be either loaded onto the same computer and merged into one file or terminated, and containment procedures have been updated to reflect as such. With the exception of SCP-3101-A, no human instances of SCP-3101 are permitted to exist, regardless of whether or not SCP-3101 instances individually express a desire for this. Following unforeseen complications, it was determined that SCP-3101 instances should not be allowed knowledge of the existence of SCP-3101-A. Further testing with SCP-3101-A is pending. Footnotes 1.

SCP-3102 | euclid | SCP-3102 Item #: SCP-3102 Special Containment Procedures: Caught specimens of SCP-3102 are to be contained in Unit 39 of Bio-Site-66. Three (3) SCP-3102 specimens are allowed per enclosure. Enclosure dimensions must measure 2.0 meters by 1.4 meters. Enclosure walls must be composed of thermal resistant glass-ceramic, and lids must have a fire-resistant wire mesh. A UV lamp is to be placed over the left side of the enclosure, and one single day lamp is to be placed over the opposite side. SCP-3102 is a diurnal species, and lamps are automated to switch off during the nighttime hours. Enclosures walls and lamps are to be routinely inspected. In order to minimize risk of anomalous behavior, specimens’ enclosures must mimic their natural habitats. Dry soil and aspen shavings will consist as enclosure substrate. Enclosures must have a basking rock for specimens, in addition to various hide boxes. Specimens require little water, but must have a water bowl for soaking. Habitat props are to be painted in fire-resistant coating. Each specimen is to be fed two (2) rats weekly, at 0800 hours. Specimens' enclosures must be cleaned daily at 1800 hours. In the event of a specimen combustion, inert gases will automatically flood the enclosure to incapacitate the specimen. Once fire is outed, specimens are to be relocated, and enclosure must be salvaged. All personnel must wear fire-retardant suits when tending for SCP-3102. One (1) stationed guard will prevent any unauthorized access to Unit 39. Bearing any flammable materials while inside Unit 39 is strictly prohibited. Personnel found infringing this directive are to be severely reprimanded. Personnel who wish to bear documentation must file a request to the Site Director. In the case of a containment breach, Unit 39 will begin lockdown procedures. Heat sensors will seal doorways in the event of a fire, and dispense inert gases to incapacitate SCP-3102 instances. Cleanup crews will be dispatched to remove scorch marks and fires, as well as recapturing any torpid SCP-3102 specimens. Description: SCP-3102 is an unidentified species of nonvenomous, tertiary serpents that are closely related to members of the genus Pituophis. SCP-3102 is endemic to the North American Prairies, and the Chihuahuan Desert. Total species population is believed to number near the high hundreds, and is increasing at a steady rate.1 Specimens can grow up to two (2) meters in length and 3.5 kg in weight. SCP-3102’s diet consists of small rodents and reptiles, including other serpents.2 Specimens are normally docile in nature, and typically ignore nearby humans.3 Unusually, SCP-3102 is partially endothermic. While internal temperatures do fluctuate like other ectotherms, SCP-3102 is able to increase its own body temperature at will. This comes at a cost of higher energy demands, and thus specimens have a more ravenous appetite. Specimens’ scales are notably durable, resisting acidic solutions and high temperatures. Specimens are highly social creatures; SCP-3102 can be usually found in colonies, or traveling in packs. Specimens are also highly protective of their young, and will remain close to any juvenile serpents. At the time of writing, thirty-six (36) specimens are in current Foundation care. When threatened, agitated, or heavily stressed, SCP-3102 will burst into flames. Specimens’ scales will ignite violently and remain burning, with temperatures exceeding 300°C. The ignition mechanism that SCP-3102 employs is currently unknown at this time. The fire poses no bodily danger to SCP-3102, but it consumes large quantities of energy, and specimens can only exist in this state for a limited time. Depending on the size of a specimen and its level of stress, the ignition state of SCP-3102 can last from 45 seconds to 5 minutes long. Upon the conclusion of the ignition state, SCP-3102 will become lethargic, and incapable of ignition for several days. Specimens of SCP-3102 will also experience behavioral changes upon ignition. While in flames, SCP-3102 becomes extremely aggressive, and actively pursues any moving organisms in the vicinity. SCP-3102 will then constrict and bind their victims tightly, setting their target alight. Testing has showed that SCP-3102 prefers attacking larger organisms to smaller ones, and will chase their quarry with speeds of up to nine (9) kmph. Upon coming into contact with an appendage, SCP-3102 will wind itself around the limb, and tightly constrict. SCP-3102 will also anchor itself into the flesh of its victim via its teeth in order to maximize damage potential. Victims of these attacks will receive 4th-degree burns, and chances of survival are low without immediate amputation. If two or more specimens enter an ignition state simultaneously, they will act in a highly coordinated matter. Specimens will strategically corner victims, attack different limbs simultaneously, and create fiery blockades to herd their prey. In addition, specimens have a tendency to congregate when indoors. Specimens will wind their bodies tightly around each other, increasing pressure and surface area, thus making their flames hotter and longer lasting. Specimens use this method to quickly burn down structures, or in some cases, create a defensive position. Incident Log 3102/A: On 07/08/2017, █████████ National Park was hit by a rampaging wildfire that annihilated over 564 hectares of forestry. The resulting inferno destroyed sixteen structures over the course of its rampage, and eighteen casualties occurred. In combination with favorable weather conditions and a rapid response time, firefighters easily contained the blaze, and subdued the forest fire after four days. County investigations began shortly after, due to suspected foul play. Point of origin was determined to have occurred near Happy Pines Camp, a popular cabin grounds for tourists. Picture of █████████ Fire, 08/08/2017. Foundation officials were alerted once emergency chatter mentioned that several witnesses claimed they had seen “fiery snakes” chase after fleeing animals. Foundation agents were dispatched under the guise of emergency officials, and ordered to find any traces of anomalous phenomena. Nine (9) specimens of SCP-3102 were discovered near Happy Pines, attempting to make a nest in the area. Specimens were captured and shipped to Bio-Site-66. Inspection of specimens revealed that they had not been fed for several weeks. After interviewing several key witnesses, Class-A amnestics were administered, and the fire was publicized as the result of a malfunctioning pressure cooker. Interview Log 3102-A: Julia Deboree + Access Log - Access Granted Interview with witness who claimed to have seen SCP-3102 at the fire's point of origin. Interview conducted at ████████ Police Department, under the guise of a police interrogation. Date: 12/08/2017 Interviewee: Julia Deboree Interviewer: Agent Schiener [BEGIN LOG] Agent Schiener: Ma’am, calm down, we are trying to help. We just need to understand what caused this wildfire and— Ms. Deboree: Please, don’t do this to me. I’ve told you everything I know. Why won’t anyone believe me? I’ve already told the other officers, and they just gave me that look –the one they give to the crazies. They all must think I’m a nutcase or something. But I’m not insane, I’m not, I promise you. It -it was the snakes! They did this! All of it! Everything just went up in flames in seconds! Agent Schiener: Ma’am, again, please calm down. We are considering your account; I just need to interview you because our reports are missing some key information that could help us on our case. Ms. Deboree: Alright, I -I’m not really sure what else I could say. Agent Schiener: Could you please start from the beginning? Ms. Deboree: It was early in the morning when it happened. I had to leave my cabin to get something out of my car, when I see this man near the center of the campgrounds struggling with this ice cooler. I didn’t really get a good look on his face —that’s what I’ve told the other officers —but it was the strangest thing. He wore this blue sweatshirt that was stained with these enormous soot marks —he looked like he was homeless. Anyways, the man was struggling with the cooler, so I yell to him from my porch if he needed some help with the thing. Agent Schiener: What did he say? Ms. Deboree: Didn’t say anything. Just snapped his head towards me like I had caught him smuggling drugs or something. I thought he would go jump on me —he was just staring at me silently, all bug-eyed. Next thing I know, he is lifting that cooler over his head, and just chucks it onto the ground. The top comes off and then —then those —those… Agent Schiener: The snakes? Ms. Deboree: Those awful, awful, snakes! They just came slithering out of the box, and I don’t even understand it myself, but they were on fire! I assumed that the guy must have set them alight, but the way they were moving —it was as if they didn’t feel a thing. Agent Schiener: What happened to the suspect once the snakes were released? Ms. Deboree: Oh, he just ran off into the woods. I didn’t really get a good look —I think he went east? The snakes though, they just sat there. The grass around them was already burning, and then… Agent Schiener: Go on. Ms. Deboree: [Pause] You can call me crazy, you can call me all sorts of things, but those snakes saw me. They all did. The raised those black heads of theirs, every single one pointed in my direction. They just charged right at me —I didn’t even think they could move that fast. So, I ran back into my cabin, and I slammed the door closed. I don’t really know what happened after —I was too scared to peek out of my window. But I heard the sounds. I smelled the smoke. Those snakes were burning everything around them, and the heat was growing by the minute. People started noticing the fire. I could hear voices yelling and shrieking “fire” at the top of their lungs, footsteps stampeding all around. It was a complete pandemonium. Agent Schiener: How did you make it out with the serpents still in the area? Ms. Deboree: The fire was growing larger and nearer —I could feel the heat coming from behind the door. I realized that the fire was about to overtake my cabin, so I figured I had better chances outside. I broke a window in the bathroom using a chair, and crawled through it. Cut my wrist pretty badly while I was climbing out. And my god, I’d never realized just how quickly a fire can spread. It felt like I stepped out into the middle of an apocalypse. The trees, bushes, and even some camper vans were on fire. Charred leaves were falling out of the sky. People were fleeing into the woods, into their cars, panicking as if the whole world was about to end. I even saw some snakes chase after a couple —I hope they made it. Anyway, I ran for my car, and just drove away from that madness. And —that’s it. I wish I could say more, but that’s all I remember. Agent Schiener: Can you recall how many snakes were set loose? Ms. Deboree: No, I didn’t bother getting a close look. Sorry. Agent Schiener: That’s understandable. Well, thank you ma’am. We’ll start searching the area once it’s been deemed secure. Ms. Deboree: And officer, please find that man. I don’t know what was wrong with those snakes, but that man purposefully set them loose. He wanted to hurt people, to scare them. This fire was not an accident. If he won’t get caught, I promise you, he’ll do it again. [END LOG] Addendum 3102/A: Foundation sweeps eventually discovered a man sleeping in a cavern near the █████████ Fire’s point of origin. Suspect was covered in various burns, and suspect’s clothing matched Ms. Deboree’s description. Upon approaching, the suspect awoke, and proceeded to attack Foundation agents with a piece of cinder. Suspect was easily overtaken, sustaining multiple fractures in the wrist, and detained. Interrogation log of suspect can be found below. Search of suspect’s camp and personal possessions showed that suspect had been living inside the cavern for an extended period of time. While surveying the camp, two SCP-3102 specimens were startled by Foundation agents, and entered their ignition state. Agents Mague and Schuffman are currently in critical condition. Interview Log 3102-B: Tyson H████ [LEVEL 2+ ACCESS REQUIRED] + Enter Credentials - Credentials Accepted Interview with suspect in possession of SCP-3102, who released aggressive specimens onto the general public. Interview is conducted in Site-66. Suspect is 32 years old, Caucasian, blue-eyed, and black-haired. Suspect is currently unemployed.4 Suspect has no current address. Suspect has no known relatives, excluding an estranged wife. Date: 15/08/2017 Interviewee: Tyson H████ Interviewer: Dr. Malkov [BEGIN LOG] Dr. Malkov: Please state your name for the record. Mr. H████: We don't have to use such needless formalities like those. They influence spite and vanity; they bring cold light into the air. I beg you, show more warmth else we freeze in the morning shadow. Dr. Malkov: It’s in your best interest to comply with our instructions, or else you’ll be indefinitely detained in our facility. There are worse things that could happen other than simply stating your name. Mr. H████: [Pause] It’s Tyson. Tyson H████ Dr. Malkov: Thank you. Now, Mr. H████, can you tell me how you first managed to acquire SCP-3102? Mr. H████: You mean the snakes? Why, you’re mistaken. I didn’t find them —they found me. When I thought that all hope was extinguished, when darkness swallowed up my very life, those friends of mine gave me an understanding, an enlightenment. Their fire pushed away the darkness from my heart, and gave me a clandestine light to follow. Dr. Malkov: Can you please elaborate? Mr. H████: Well, we’ve all had these moments, when everything —when everything just doesn’t quite work out. When life seems to treat you, like —you’re not destined to have a happy fortune. And for many people, their problems can just completely overwhelm their lives. One minute, you’re the cream of the crop, loving what life has to offer, and the next moment your boss fires you over someone younger, your wife leaves you for her lover, and those bills keep coming and coming and coming until you finally snap and— Dr. Malkov: Right, uh, let’s just focus on the snakes. Where did you first discover them? Mr. H████: But I’ve already told you man, I didn’t find them —they found me first. Those smoldering beauties decided to create a small den next to my home —almost burnt down my camper van. It was only fate that brought us together, you see. And when I first stumbled upon their nest, oh man, they were pissed. Those little imps just —blew up. I was terrified; I thought I was a goner, man. It was only by their blessing I was left unharmed. Dr. Malkov: [surprised] The specimens did not attack you? Mr. H████: No, instead they groveled in the reeds and the grass, setting the cattails alight and winding their bodies into incomprehensible knots and shapes. But not a single one touched me, nor my camper. It was through their searing chaos, their scalding madness, that they gave me an idea —an epiphany. Dr. Malkov: And what was this, “epiphany?” Mr. H████: The world was designed to be burned away. You and me, we’re both intellectuals, man. We understand that as people, as humans, we must adapt in an ever-changing world. And in this world, there’s just so much clutter —so much trash —so much anger. It hides the gorgeousness from within. Beauty is only skin deep as they say. And those snakes, they’re a godsend. Mother Earth has thrown us its lightning in the bottle, a consumable nirvana. They can burn away all those negative emotions, those unclean thoughts and deeds that corrupt our world in rot. Dr. Malkov: Why did you release SCP-3102 into the campgrounds? Mr. H████: It was only for their benefit. An educatory experience. I know that fire burned down those beautiful trees and log houses, but you can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs. Those people, those down-to-earth people, they’ve been blinded by the dregs of society. And if we showed them that they can leave everything behind —that you can live amongst the embers —we could’ve made them smell the ashes, and accept a brighter future. Dr. Malkov: Two of our men lost their legs because of you. Mr. H████: But they are now educated. They will recognize the earth’s faults and crevices the way I had come to realize as well. Those snakes are extraordinary, man. Each of them focused on their sole mission —to fan the flames. I only wanted to show them a different path. That without pain, there is no flame. Dr. Malkov: I’m not sure I understand— Mr. H████: [Slams fists onto table] Understand? Understand? You stupid, stupid man! There’s plenty to understand, there’s so much more to learn. We, as humans, are unbound by the fire, unshackled by the flame, and unraveled by the conflagration. We can burn everything away, and begin anew from a fresh slate. We can populate the world with storms and infernos. They will have beautiful shades of orange and red, and these snakes are our kindling. Our tinder, to bring about a new golden age. I can help you to understand. Unbound by the fire, Unshackled by the flame, and together we will rise in –ah, oh God. Dr. Malkov: Mr. H████ ? Mr. H████: Something’s wrong. I’m not –I’m not feeling too hot, there’s something— [END LOG] Suspect begins clutching his chest, vocalizing pain and discomfort. Dr. Malkov requests medical assistance into the room, when suddenly suspect lurches back into his chair. Suspect begins foaming at the mouth, shaking violently, and smoke begins to rise from his orifices. Malkov backs into the corner of the room yelling for urgent medical aid, as suspect keels over and retches onto the table. Specimens of SCP-3102 burst from suspect’s mouth, already in their ignition state, and proceed to attack Dr. Malkov. Security runs into the room, and begins fending off the serpents. Suspect is shot in the ensuing chaos. One SCP-3102 specimen managed to latch onto Dr. Malkov’s leg, and flames soon covered the panicking doctor. Attempts to pry off the snake are met with little success. Snake leaves the ignition state after a minute, and is successfully removed. After extinguishing the fire, Dr. Malkov is subsequently rushed to medical bay. Five (5) specimens of SCP-3102 were retrieved and placed into containment. Over 64% of Dr. Malkov’s body received third-degree burns, and Dr. Malkov’s leg required extensive amputation. Dr. Malkov is currently undergoing physical therapy and rehabilitation. Autopsy of Tyson H████ has revealed that the subject’s gallbladder had been eaten away and replaced with a enormous cocoon. Breaching the cocoon revealed several SCP-3102 eggs, along with a deceased juvenile specimen. At the time of writing, it is unknown how SCP-3102 managed to infiltrate the body, nor as to why a colony was formed inside. Research into potential parasitic properties of SCP-3102 is still ongoing. Footnotes 1. Population is theorized to double within 50 years. 2. Only four Foundation specimens have displayed ophiophagy. 3. Caution is still advised when dealing with SCP-3102 due to risk of its anomalous properties. 4. Previous occupation is listed as regional sales manager. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3102" by megalan, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3103 | euclid | SCP-3103 at time of discovery. Item #: SCP-3103 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3103 is to be contained in an aviary cage in a standard containment chamber, isolated from any other contained specimens on Site-██. During routine check-ups on SCP-3103, researchers must not remain in SCP-3103's chamber for more than 15 minutes at once. Only D-Class may be used as test subjects for SCP-3103 experimentation, and all experiment requests must be sent to the current Site Senior Researcher. Individuals exhibiting anomalous behavior caused by SCP-3103 are to be transferred to a medical ward and carefully examined for sequential psychological changes. Description: SCP-3103 is an adult female specimen of palm cockatoo (Probosciger aterrimus), appearing identical to non-anomalous individuals of the same species. SCP-3103 will exhibit distress-indicating behavior typical of non-anomalous palm cockatoos (producing loud vocalizations, flying around erratically) when a human is within 5 meters of it (note that this only happens if SCP-3103 and the individual are in the same room). Its behavior becomes more erratic as it is approached, and after approximately 20 to 30 minutes, SCP-3103 will return to exhibiting normal behavioral patterns. At this point, the individual in question (hereby referred to as SCP-3103-1) may begin exhibiting anomalous behavioral patterns; affected humans will fall to the ground, flailing their arms and legs in a seemingly random manner and producing high-pitched sounds reminiscent of [REDACTED]. SCP-3103-1 and all humans under this effect are, from this point onward, taken care of by SCP-3103. Attempting to remove SCP-3103-1 from SCP-3103's protection causes it to behave aggressively towards the person who performed such an act. SCP-3103-1 instances will continue displaying anomalous behavioral patterns even after removal from the vicinity of SCP-3103. Additionally, SCP-3103-1 instances exhibit anxious behavior when separated from SCP-3103. LEVEL 2 ACCESS REQUIRED VERIFYING CREDENTIALS... ACCESS GRANTED SCP-3103 was found in a cage inside a warehouse in ████, New Guinea, after a police raid on an exotic bird trafficking business, on 04/09/20██. The following footage was extracted from the surveillance system of said warehouse. Footage depicts SCP-3103's effects on a group of smugglers, and viewing is mandatory for all personnel currently involved in SCP-3103's containment or research. SCP-3103 RECOVERED SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE The monitor shows a top-view of an approximately 5x5 meter room, where two individuals, PoI-3103-1 ("Kevin") and PoI-3103-2 ("Nick") stand in front of a large pen containing a specimen of a palm cockatoo, SCP-3103. The timestamp reads 03/09/20██, 1:18 PM. SCP-3103 exhibits distress-indicating behavior, flapping its wings, biting the metal bars of its cage, and screeching loudly. PoI-3103-01 holds in his hands three juvenile palm cockatoos (supposedly SCP-3103's offspring) all in a very early stage of physical development. Kevin: I really don't think we should be doing this… I mean, just look at the poor thing. Nick: This is why you never get employed anymore, Kevin. It's just a primal response, in fifteen minutes it won't even remember what fucking happened! Now, get those pests to the van, we're running late on schedule here. Kevin exits the room with the three chicks. SCP-3103 continues to screech as Nick puts on a headphone set, sitting on a chair right next to SCP-3103's cage and staring down at the ground. A van's engine can be heard starting up in the distance, and the noise gets farther and farther away until it is no longer audible. The footage is sped up to timestamp 1:28, just as Nick stands up from his chair, beginning to yell at SCP-3103. Nick: For fuck's sake, will you shut up? I'm supposed to look after you, and if you keep annoying me like this we're going to have some serious- Nick abruptly falls to the ground directly in front of SCP-3103's pen, his headphone set splitting in half on impact with the floor. Nick moves his arms and legs erratically, opening his mouth and screaming in a high-pitched voice. SCP-3103 stops vocalizing and ingests some seeds from its meal bowl. It proceeds to regurgitate them into Nick's mouth, causing him to stop screaming. Nick simply lays on the ground, motionless and staring at SCP-3103. The footage is sped up to timestamp 1:35, just as Kevin re-enters the room. Kevin gives Nick a slight slap on his face, causing him to screech. SCP-3103 loudly vocalizes at Kevin, startling him and making him run out of the room screaming. Kevin returns shortly after with PoI-3103-3 ("Vic") and they both begin attempting to lift Nick off the ground. Nick screeches loudly while SCP-3103 assumes an aggressive stance towards both individuals. Kevin slips on a loose pipe and accidentally lets Nick fall to the ground, and Vic quickly stands back. Nick falls head-first, and a thin trail of blood begins to flow from now unconscious Nick's left ear. Vic: What the fuck were you thinking, Kevin?! Pay attention to your god damn surroundings for once! Kevin: I-I'm sorry Vic… I-I d-don't know what's happening, this isn't normal, why was Nick s-screaming like that?! Vic: Stay here you useless sack of shit… I'm going to go get the first aid kit, keep an eye on the merchandise! Vic leaves the room and a van's engine is heard roaring in the background. Kevin stands up and runs out of the room, only to return thirty seconds later with a panicked look on his face. Kevin: This can't be happening, t-this can't be happening… What the hell am I going to do with this bird? W-what the hell am I going to do with Nick? Kevin leans on a wall, slowly assuming a fetal position. He then begins to sob. The footage speeds up to timestamp 1:59, as Kevin suddenly widens his eyes and begins crawling to SCP-3103, moaning. SCP-3103 once again ingests a relatively large amount of seeds from its bowl, regurgitating them into Kevin's mouth. For the rest of the video, Kevin lays on the ground, occasionally looking around, while Nick is motionless and bleeding. SCP-3103 is serene, seemingly unaware of Nick's state. The footage abruptly ends at timestamp 2:24. Closing Statement: PoI-3103-1 was transferred to Site-██'s medical ward for further mental examination; PoI-3103-2 was pronounced deceased on-site, and his corpse was moved to [REDACTED]. PoI-3103-3's current whereabouts are unknown, and Foundation agents in Papua New Guinea have been notified of his involvement with SCP-3103 and the imminent danger of information breach. PoI-3103-3 has been captured and interrogated, claiming that the three PoIs had no previous knowledge of SCP-3103's effects. All non-Foundation personnel (including PoI-3103-3) have been administered Class-A amnestics. SCP-3103's offspring have not yet been located. The Foundation has ordered a thorough search of New Guinea to locate the specimens, though they are very unlikely to be found due to the sheer size and amount of active trafficking rings operating in Oceania. |
SCP-3104 | safe | Item #: SCP-3104 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3104 is currently stored in Evidence Locker ████ in the Site-███ B Sector Security Substation, pending investigation. It is to remain there until the investigation is complete, at which point appropriate measures will be taken. Description: SCP-3104 is a [REDACTED] and infohazard. It does not represent a hazard to Foundation interests, operations, or personnel if it is securely contained and information about it is not known to those outside the containment project. + Access denied: Level 2 or lower clearance required. - Confirmed. RAISA COGNITOHAZARD WARNING Warning: the following information has been secured with a mild selective disabling cognitohazard by approval of the O5 Council in order to prevent viewing and subsequent spread of an infohazard by Foundation personnel. It is designed to target Foundation personnel in the following departments: Internal Security External Security Internal Affairs Administration Records And Information Security Administration Ethics Committee O5 Council If you have gained access to this information through unapproved means, please close this document immediately and report to your supervisor. Do not read further. Do not disclose any information to your supervisor other than that you have been exposed to Cognitohazard-RAISA-3104 and require amnesticization. If you do not have a supervisor, please consult operational manual "RAISA Cognitohazards: Procedures and Treatment" for more information; secure the help of a coworker if required, but do not disclose any information to them other than that you have been exposed. Photograph taken by commander of MTF Δ-16 during containment. Special Containment Procedures: Foundation Security personnel and anyone involved in administrative hierarchy above Security are to be denied access to information regarding the nature of SCP-3104; this includes all administrative personnel from Level 3 to O5-level, as well as any Foundation internal affairs personnel, RAISA personnel, anyone reported to by any of these departments, and others responsible for enforcing rules which Foundation personnel in general have to follow; this extends to anyone responsible for rulemaking where the rules affect groups of 25 or larger. Any Foundation employee in these departments exposed to information about SCP-3104 is to be immediately treated with a Class-A amnestic. In the event SCP-3104 becomes relevant to Site or Foundation security, as determined by the currently assigned junior researcher, information regarding it is to be sanitized by junior personnel with Level 2 clearance or lower in accordance with standard STRICT-7 medium infohazard redaction regimes and passed upward through the Infohazard Advisory Council. The Internal Affairs and Security investigations are to be postponed indefinitely, through informal means, with the cooperation of the O5 Council and RAISA by way of the IAC. Evidence Locker ████ is to be locked with two locks, one of which has been internally welded shut. Breach containment procedures are to be devised, but such procedures are to be limited to containing the results of the breach and limiting public effects of same. Procedures are not to mention the nature of SCP-3104, only the outcomes of its effects and how best to contain them. Information control filters are to be devised to filter any mention of SCP-3104 from police bulletins, law enforcement websites, and INTERPOL communications. Description: SCP-3104 is a brick of cocaine wrapped in plastic, ordinary in appearance and weighing approximately one kilogram. It has no unusual physical characteristics, and testing has showed it to be identical in composition and effect (intensity inclusive) to non-anomalous cocaine. On the plastic wrap is handwriting, possibly in permanent marker, reading "200x." SCP-3104 is an infohazard affecting those responsible in some way for law enforcement, law enforcement administration, and similar activities. If a person meeting this criteria learns about it in any way (including being told of the existence of the item or seeing any part of the item), they are compelled to obtain the item and place it in custody, and to spread information about it to other law enforcement personnel. Subjects affected by this compulsion only consider SCP-3104 to be "in custody" if it is secured in an evidence locker or similar arrangement belonging to the organization they are an employee of or have control over. This has the effect of causing complete disruption of law enforcement activity in the event of any knowledge of SCP-3104 reaching any law enforcement official. SCP-3104 was contained on ██/██/198█, following a widespread exposure event. Knowledge of the item first reached the Foundation when Foundation police liasons in Florida received an all-points bulletin regarding SCP-3104, notifying police departments statewide of the existence of the item and stating that it was an "extremely illegal fugitive from justice last seen in Tampa." A mass migration of law enforcement officers to Tampa ensued, including nearly all Foundation security personnel in the state exposed to the bulletin and not working in a sealed facility. Post-operation review of public media showed that police attention centered on the Tampa Drug Enforcement Administration field office, which was under siege by an extremely large crowd of police officers on foot and in police vehicles. Eventually, a breaching crew from the Orlando County Sheriff's Office arrived, and managed to gain access to the building, at which point a crowd crush and melee ensued, resulting in ██ fatalities and ███ injuries. Several minutes later, MTF Δ-16 (ordinarily responsible for the distraction and containment of Euclid-class SCP-███ at Site-███, the closest Foundation facility to Tampa), arrived on scene in a pair of M60A3 Patton main battle tanks, making their way to and through the front door of the DEA office (and causing █ fatalities and ██ injuries to police officers crushed by the tank treads, as well as ██ Foundation fatalities as SCP-███ breached containment in their absence). Δ-16 secured the item and returned to Site-███, followed by several hundred police cruisers (each filled to capacity), five police helicopters, one light winged aircraft, and 20,654 police officers travelling on foot. Δ-16 then documented the item and placed it in Evidence Locker ████ in the B Sector Security Substation in accordance with procedure, then entered Debriefing Room B3 to await standard debriefing. Site staff described the attitude of Δ-16 members at this time as "jovial." Crowd control protocols at Site-███ were placed into effect immediately. The police cruisers arrived approximately simultaneously at the main entrance gate, eventually followed by stragglers over the next several days due to breakdowns and fuel exhaustion. The aircraft ran low on fuel and were forced to land. Amnestic fog canisters were used against the gathered law enforcement officers, removing the compulsion; the initial crowd dispersed on its own over the next several hours, with the Foundation providing tow service for those with disabled vehicles. It was determined during a debriefing interview that Δ-16 was not commanded by administration to secure SCP-3104; at that point, the Foundation at large had no awareness of it. An interview later determined that Δ-16-Epsilon (loader for the #2 tank) had a brother in the Drug Enforcement Administration, who had informed him of the seizure of the item during a routine family phone call; automated monitoring did not flag the call. At that point, Epsilon informed his squadmates; the MTF then manned their tanks and exited the Site through a closed gate. Security forces were alerted and prepared to mount a counterforce/retrieval operation of sufficient strength to counter the tanks, assuming Δ-16 had gone rogue or been otherwise compromised. By the time Δ-16 took control of the item and radioed that they were returning to base, the Foundation forces had reached the outskirts of Tampa. Rapid deployment operations at Site-███ were reviewed and revised following this incident. After researcher evaluation of the infohazardous effects of SCP-3104 and its effect on the Internal Affairs officer initially responsible for their debriefing, Δ-16 and said officer were treated using the debriefing room's inbuilt amnestic foggers. Δ-16 has been cleared of all wrongdoing regarding this incident. The crowd of officers proceeding without vehicles continued to arrive over the next several days in taxicabs, commandeered cars, and eventually, on foot, having walked the entire distance. Amnesticization procedures were performed on each as they arrived, and they were assisted with return to their homes and medical treatment where applicable, placing a temporary strain on Site-███'s medical department and motor pool. A disinformation campaign was enacted regarding a "police union march" and unrelated "crime wave," in order to explain the Tampa event and the effects of partial or complete absence of police presence throughout a large portion of Florida. |
SCP-3105 | neutralized | Item#: 3105 Level1 Containment Class: neutralized Secondary Class: {$secondary-class} Disruption Class: dark Risk Class: notice link to memo Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3105 is to be contained within a standard anomalous humanoid containment cell with a bulletproof observation window. The cell is to be kept at a constant temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and at a humidity of 45% in order to minimise any further damage to SCP-3105. Any personnel interacting with SCP-3105 must wear protective gear to prevent injury. Note: As of 03/07/2018 SCP-3105's containment unit has been furnished with a number of items as part of ongoing research. Additional items may be added at the direction of Researcher Janssen and must be examined thoroughly by security. The remains of SCP-3105 are to be kept in cold storage at Site-19's non anomalous item storage wing. No further containment measures are necessary. SCP-3105 with its helmet removed. Description: SCP-3105 is the heavily damaged corpse of a male human being. SCP-3105 shows significant damage from a number of sources, including age, exposure, animal attacks, rot, and injuries sustained from manmade weaponry. Despite this heavy damage and lack of any vital signs or mechanical processes, SCP-3105 remains animate and able to perceive its surroundings through unknown means and vocalise in a limited capacity1. SCP-3105 is clothed in heavily degraded clothing and metal armour similar to those worn by Viking warriors. These items include a heavily rusted Gjermundbu2 style helmet, a tattered tunic, a leather breastplate, one heavily damaged leather glove, and the hilt of a broken and rusted sword fused to its right hand. Tests have shown the remains to date around 900 AD, in line with the attire worn by SCP-3105. This in conjunction with DNA testing has placed SCP-3105's place of origin in western Norway, although any attempts to pinpoint an exact location have been deemed impossible due to a lack of surviving remnants. SCP-3105 has proved to be aggressive towards any humans within its range of perception, attempting to injure individuals in its immediate vicinity by any means available. However, due to SCP-3105's heavily impaired motor skills, these attacks are easily defended against and damage is usually minimal. SCP-3105 has not shown the capacity for higher thought beyond this and is currently considered as non-sapient. (Note: See Incident SCP-3105-A) Addendum-SCP-3105-A: Discovery SCP-3105 was discovered in the small village of H████, Norway after the townspeople had begun to spread rumours of a 'Draugr3' wandering the region and 'eating people's souls'. The village had begun to leave offerings of food outside for the Draugr, which was always found to be taken the next day. Due to SCP-3105's apparent disinterest in food and lack of means to process it, it is presumed this was due to scavenging animals. The Foundation was notified when a small child was approached on the edge of the village by SCP-3105, followed by the child's parents screaming and rushing towards them. SCP-3105 responded violently, attempting to attack the parents but was too physically impaired to catch or harm them. After the incident, the townsfolk reported what had occurred to the nearest city authority in R██████ and launched a hunt into the surrounding wilderness to look for SCP-3105. The townsfolk had grown increasingly more superstitious and had begun to burn bodies in the apparent fear of them reanimating. After this escalation had been reported to the city authority along with video evidence of SCP-3105, an investigation was launched by the Foundation. A small task force was dispatched to the location, and civilians were interviewed and ordered to stay within the confines of the village. During the search for SCP-3105, it was eventually discovered in a nearby bog stuck in a muddy lakebed attempting to pull itself free. After it was determined SCP-3105 posed no significant threat, a containment team was called and SCP-3105 was retrieved and moved to Site-19. A cover story of mass hysteria was released to the public and civilians were amnesticised. After it was determined that SCP-3105 was not capable of higher brain functions, it was placed in a standard anomalous object containment unit and was made available for study to any researchers with clearance level 1 and above. (See Incident SCP-3105-A). Incident SCP-3105-A: Researcher Janssen was performing routine sample acquisition from SCP-3105 while it was not physically restrained. Despite there being no obstacle or barrier preventing SCP-3105 from attacking Janssen, it did not respond with hostility, and instead peacefully observed Janssen's actions and movements around the chamber. In light of this unusual reaction, Janssen moved towards SCP-3105 with the intent to elicit a further response. In response, SCP-3105 reached its hand out towards Janssen and attempted to touch her face. Janssen quickly recoiled from the approach, with security personnel reacting by attempting to move Janssen further from SCP-3105, following protocol. SCP-3105 responded with hostility as had been previously documented. Both Janssen and security guards were unharmed in the encounter, and left the chamber without further incident. Addendum-SCP-3105-B: Testing Logs Following the interaction in Incident-3105-A, Janssen formally requested to be allowed to conduct various experiments to test the cognitive abilities of SCP-3105. It was Janssen's belief that SCP-3105 still retained some form of sapience that could be stimulated when exposed to different forms of stimuli. Due to Janssen's expertise in European history and culture, this request was granted and Janssen was given authority over SCP-3105 and all subsequent testing. Test 3105-1 23/06/2018 Supervisor: Researcher Janssen Subject: SCP-3105 Test: Researcher Janssen is to stand behind observation window in full view of SCP-3105 in order to gauge a response. Result: SCP-3105 approached the window in an unusually calm state. SCP-3105 observed Janssen for a few moments before Janssen placed her hand on the glass. SCP-3105 responded by placing its unarmed hand against the glass opposite to Janssen. Notes: Interesting. More testing will have to be done to gauge SCP-3105's ability to recognise objects and people. - Researcher Janssen Test 3105-2 24/06/2018 Supervisor: Researcher Janssen Subject: SCP-3105 Test: Researcher Janssen is to hold a number of items up to observations window in order to gauge a response. Items include glasses, mobile phone, teddy bear, photograph, and a lighter. Result: SCP-3105 showed no interest in the glasses, photograph, or mobile phone. However, it seem to respond with curiosity towards the teddy bear, and appeared to have a fear response when the lighter was lit before cautiously approaching again. Notes: It's almost as if an inkling of emotion remains, but we can only just scratch the surface. I'm curious as to whether or not it's possible to stimulate its emotions further. - Researcher Janssen Test 3105-3 25/06/2018 Supervisor: Researcher Janssen Subject: SCP-3105 Test: Researcher Janssen is to attempt to speak to SCP-3105 from the opposite side of the observation window. Result: SCP-3105 initially showed interest in Janssen's presence. However, when Janssen began to speak SCP-3105 appeared confused and mildly agitated. SCP-3105 looked at Janssen for a moment before slamming its fist on the glass. At this point, Janssen terminated the test and left the chamber. Notes: I'm not sure what happened. Maybe my voice wasn't what SCP-3105 expected? It is pretty deep especially for a woman. Or perhaps it's language related? In any case, SCP-3105 seemed quite agitated by my speech. Maybe if I try something more universally understood like music? I mean, I've been looking for an excuse to play my flute on site. - Researcher Janssen Test 3105-4 26/06/2018 Supervisor: Researcher Janssen Subject: SCP-3105 Test: Researcher Janssen is to play traditional Scandinavian music on her flute over the speakers into SCP-3105's chamber. Researcher Janssen is to remain in full view of SCP-3105 to avoid confusing SCP-3105 as to the source of the music. Result: SCP-3105 stared at Researcher Janssen for one minute before slowly placing its left hand on the observation window. SCP-3105 then placed its forehead on the window and began to move in a rhythmic jerking motion, similar to crying. Notes: This is a major reaction. While likely not actively aware of its surroundings in a fully alert state, SCP-3105 does seem to come to attention when something gains its interest. I admit though, seeing SCP-3105 sob like that was a bit upsetting. Maybe it would've been better if SCP-3105 was just an animal acting on instinct. - Researcher Janssen Following the above test, Researcher Janssen had requested to perform a face-to-face test within SCP-3105's chamber. This was granted under the condition that armed guards be on alert outside the chamber. Test 3105-5 28/06/2018 Supervisor: Researcher Janssen Subject: SCP-3105 Test: Researcher Janssen is to enter SCP-3105's chamber alone and gauge a response. Security is on standby. Result: SCP-3105 initially reacted defensively when it realised someone had entered its chamber. However, upon seeing Janssen, its behaviour changed and it appeared to relax. SCP-3105 then slowly walked towards Janssen who remained still and smiling, then reached a hand out towards her, who tenses in response. SCP-3105 ceased reaching for Janssen momentarily and stared at her before continuing. SCP-3105 gently grabbed a lock of Janssen's hair4 and examined it briefly before moving away to a far corner of its chamber and sitting down. Janssen then left the chamber. Notes: Curious. This was almost a 'tender' reaction, as if it was lost in thought or nostalgia. I'll admit, it's a bit unnerving having a corpse reach for your face, but I don't know, it seems to be more human than we're giving it credit for. I've requested more 'familiar' objects for testing, perhaps this will give stronger results. - Researcher Janssen Test 3105-6 29/06/2018 Supervisor: Researcher Janssen Subject: SCP-3105 Test: Researcher Janssen is to present SCP-3105 with a number of items made to replicate ancient Norse artefacts. Among these are a small woven doll, a handcrafted flute, an icon of Mjolnir5, a blunted cutting knife, a necklace and a gathering of dried herbs. Result: SCP-3105 interacted with all items and showed varying degrees of emotion. The knife and icon of Mjolnir were given the least attention, with SCP-3105 showing some respect towards the icon. The necklace was handled for a moment before SCP-3105 attempted to place it over its head, which it eventually managed with assistance from Janssen. SCP-3105 also showed a keen interest in the herbs, grabbing them and holding them to its face for an extended period. The strongest reactions were from the flute and doll. When given the flute, SCP-3105 attempted to play, but was unsuccessful due to its lack of functioning lungs. However, it appeared to display a proficiency with the instrument judging by the finger movements on its available hand. It then passed the flute back to Janssen with marked enthusiasm. When presented with the doll, SCP-3105 held it for a minute silently, before heaving and throwing all the items in its possession to the ground, tearing off the necklace it was wearing. It then proceeded to wail and slam its hands and head against the walls away from Janssen as guards rushed to subdue it. Janssen ordered the guards to stand down and approached SCP-3105 alone. Janssen then placed her hands on its shoulders which seemed to calm SCP-3105 down enough for it to sit back in the corner of the room, unresponsive. Notes: This was distressing. I didn't expect such an intense response from something so small. Regardless, all the items seem to confirm my theory that SCP-3105 reacts to stimuli more familiar to it. This should be enough to convince higher-ups to allocate the funds I need to overhaul SCP-3105's chamber. Who knows, this might even allow us to learn more about the Viking era. I hope at least. -Researcher Janssen Following Test-3105-6, Researcher Janssen requested to have SCP-3105's chamber outfitted with a number of large furniture pieces built to replicate those used in the Viking era. The stated goal of this was to stimulate any remaining cognitive abilities or memory in SCP-3105 and eventually allow for communication. Barring some items, this request was granted on the condition that all items be replicated at as low a cost as possible while retaining the necessary characteristics. Test 3105-7 04/07/2018 Supervisor: Researcher Janssen Subject: SCP-3105 Test: SCP-3105's chamber had been outfitted with a number of large furniture pieces and decorations in order to attempt communication with SCP-3105 by stimulating its consciousness. The chamber had been outfitted with a large bed with fur blankets, a large fur rug, several hanging decorative and fragrant herbs, a small table with two chairs, a simulated hearth6, and a number of small items and trinkets including those from Test 3105-6. Despite the reaction in Test 3105-6, the small doll was also included at Janssen's request with security on standby as a precaution. Result: Upon SCP-3105 being reintroduced into its chamber alongside Researcher Janssen, it stood for a moment observing its surroundings. SCP-3105 then looked back to Janssen who gestured it in. SCP-3105 wandered around the room as Janssen sat on the small chair provided. SCP-3105 proceeded to interact with several of the items in its vicinity. It was noted to be testing the bed, warming its hands over the hearth, and picking up a number of items and bringing them to Janssen to observe. After a while, Janssen began to play the replica flute SCP-3105 had brought her, causing SCP-3105 to walk over and sit opposite to Janssen. SCP-3105 watched Janssen play as it clutched the small doll from the previous test. During this time, SCP-3105 could be noted as quietly vocalising while looking towards Janssen. After playing had concluded, Janssen held out her hand and SCP-3105 placed its hand in Janssen's palm. After this, Janssen bid SCP-3105 farewell and left the chamber. Notes: It worked! It was like watching a child run around their room and bring their loved one all their toys. It was truly heartwarming to see. If we can manage to keep this level of attentiveness from SCP-3105 then we may even be able to facilitate some form of communication. It will take a lot of work though, after all, it's a big leap. Music has been shown to elicit major responses before so perhaps that can bridge the gap? I know some songs that SCP-3105 would no doubt love to hear. Maybe I could even tell him a story in Old Norse! I'll have to study up over the coming days. You know it's funny, I swear I could almost hear SCP-3105's groans sound like words while I was playing. Sounded almost like a name. Perhaps 'Sigrid'? Although it could just be my imagination. - Researcher Janssen Test 3105-8 05/07/2018 Supervisor: Researcher Janssen Subject: SCP-3105 Test: SCP-3105 is to be exposed to various auditory stimuli in the form of Researcher Janssen playing traditional Scandinavian songs and reading stories in Old Norse, to which she has practised proficiency in since Test-3105-6. Result: N/A Notes: Test terminated due to subject expiration. Upon entering SCP-3105's chamber for Test-3105-8, Researcher Janssen noted that SCP-3105 had not moved from its provided bed for the past several hours in the fetal position. Concerned, Researcher Janssen attempted to rouse SCP-3105 with no success. She began to grow more frantic in her attempts, violently shaking SCP-3105 and shouting, but SCP-3105 remained still. Eventually Researcher Janssen was escorted from the room by security. After examination, it appeared that SCP-3105's anomalous effects had dissipated, and now SCP-3105 was a non-anomalous human corpse. In light of this, SCP-3105's body was moved for autopsy which revealed it had somehow removed the rusted sword from its right hand and now held the replica flute Janssen had played in the tests. In its other hand it held the woven doll pressed to its chest. On the nearby table, a message in Old Norse was carved crudely with what is presumed to be SCP-3105's broken sword. Roughly translated from Old Norse, the message reads as follows: Thank you, kind Valkyrie. I see now you are not her. My mind is clear and my heart is light. I am coming, my love. Will you wait for me? My flower. My Sigrid. Following an autopsy, no source for SCP-3105's anomalous properties could be identified. SCP-3105 has been reclassified as Neutralised, and its body placed in cold storage. Researcher Janssen has requested SCP-3105's remains be given proper funerary rites. This request is under review. Footnotes 1. SCP-3105 has been reported to grunt, groan, wail, and on one occasion, scream. 2. A type of Viking era helmet characterised by a peaked cap and armoured eye guard. 3. An undead creature from Scandinavian folklore that is described as a corpse reanimated by a spirit. 4. It is noted that Researcher Janssen has distinct red and curled hair. 5. Thor's hammer from Norse Mythology. 6. Replica hearth consisted of a small fan, speaker, warm LED lights and paper. Similar to commercially used decorative torches. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3105" by Iszth, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-3105.

SCP-3106 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3106 Special Containment Procedures: An active perimeter is to be maintained in a 500-meter radius around SCP-3106. A staff of four security guards is responsible for the rapid termination of all instances of SCP-3106-1. Guards are to be supplied with military grade weapons; however, in the event of an emergency, please note that instances of SCP-3106-1 can be destroyed using any instrument or weapon that would normally destroy osseous (bone) tissue. No personnel may approach SCP-3106 within a 500-meter radius without level 2 security clearance and the permission of the supervising security guard and the head researcher. Civilians are to be diverted using a 2.5-meter tall barbed wire fence at a 2-kilometer radius. Any civilians who enter the premises are to be detained for questioning then administered Class-A amnestics. SCP-3106-A is to be kept in Containment Cell ██. SCP-3106-A is to be provided with a new supply of ground beef every 2 months. Description: SCP-3106 is a small bog located in ████████, ███████████. The bog is 8 meters long, 2 meters wide, and of an unknown depth. A probe sent to explore its depths traveled approximately 35 kilometers before it stopped transmitting. SCP-3106's other anomalous property manifests when an organism from the kingdom Animalia enters the water. Upon making contact with the water, the organism will suffer from a cognitohazardous effect and drown itself. Organisms that are incapable of drowning will die immediately due to total organ failure. The cause of the total organ failure has yet to be identified. Once dead, organisms undergo rapid decomposition of all organs and tissues except for the osseous tissue. When 50% of the dorsal osseous tissue is exposed, the organism becomes an instance of SCP-3106-1 and will pull itself out of the decomposing body and onto dry land. Organisms that lack osseous tissue will not create an instance of SCP-3106-1. Instances of SCP-3106-1 behave similarly to other members of the same species, including vocalizations and engaging in learned behaviors despite the lack of requisite organs or tissues. The instances' only additional behavior is that they will attack other organisms with the goal of removing the organism's flesh from their skeletal structure. Instances of SCP-3106-1 are able to adhere this flesh to their skeletal structure. The instances of SCP-3106-1 will attach the flesh to their bodies in a haphazard manner, and tissues or organs may be placed in anatomically incorrect areas. Oftentimes, upon removing the skeletal structure from the flesh, instances of SCP-3106-1 will engage in a "rolling" behavior to attach the flesh as quickly as possible, which increases the potential for organs to burst or to cause severe tissue damage. The instances seem satisfied with any tissue and organs even if they have been damaged. Instances of SCP-3106-1 will discontinue hostile behavior when there is flesh covering the entirety of their skeletal structure. This flesh adheres to the skeletal structure for a period of two months before it begins peeling off, usually in large sections of the body. Additionally, instances of SCP-3106-1 do not discriminate what organism's flesh they utilize as long as it belongs to an organism in the kingdom Animalia. This behavior has resulted in the death of approximately 30 civilians and 3 Foundation personnel. + Experimentation Logs - Experimentation Logs Experimentation Log 1: Researcher: Dr. Ricardo Procedure: A rat was secured to a harness with a rope attached to it. The rat was evacuated from SCP-3106 when its head became fully submerged in water. Results: Rat was placed in close proximity of SCP-3106. Rat attempted to enter SCP-3106. The rat was evacuated from SCP-3106 when its head became fully submerged in water. The rat lay motionless for 30 seconds before resuming non-anomalous behavior. Experimentation Log 2: Researcher: Dr. Ricardo Procedure: A dead mink was placed into SCP-3106, and a live raccoon was introduced when an instance of SCP-3106-1 was produced. Results: Dead mink was introduced to SCP-3106. An instance of SCP-3106-1 was created. Raccoon was introduced to the testing area. SCP-3106-1 attacked the raccoon and successfully removed all flesh from the skeletal structure. The mink ignored the flesh and attempted to engage security personnel. Security personnel terminated SCP-3106-1 without incident. Dead organisms that are placed into SCP-3106 will now be designated SCP-3106-2 due to the alternate anomalous behavior. Further testing with dead organisms has been discontinued. Experimentation Log 3: Researcher: Dr. Ricardo Procedure: A sheep was introduced to a sample of SCP-3106. Results: Sheep exhibits no anomalous behavior. Consideration to deem samples of SCP-3106 as non-anomalous is pending. Experimentation Log 4: Researcher: Dr. Ricardo Procedure: D-8009 entered SCP-3106 and was detained for further testing when an instance of SCP-3106-A was created. Results: D-8009 instructed to enter SCP-3106. D-8009 enters SCP-3106. Instance of SCP-3106-A created. Instance of SCP-3106-A was significantly less aggressive than instances of SCP-3106-1. SCP-3106-A was brought in for interviewing under restraints. + Interview Log - Interview Log Interviewer: Dr. Ricardo Interviewed: SCP-3106-A Foreword: The following is a transcript of an interview with SCP-3106-A. Subject was kept talking for as long as needed. Security personnel were supplied with ground beef to offer to SCP-3106-A as a method of suppressing hostile behavior. Security guards were given authorization to terminate SCP-3106-A if hostile behavior was not controlled by the ground beef. It should be noted that SCP-3106-A stuttered throughout the conversation. Transliteration of the stuttering was removed for readability. Dr. Ricardo: SCP-3106-A, how do you feel? SCP-3106-A: Is that what you call me now? I had just gotten used to D-8009. Dr. Ricardo: If it helps our conversation, I can call you D-8009. SCP-3106-A: Yeah sure. Let's stick with that. Dr. Ricardo: D-8009, how do you feel? (SCP-3106-A is unresponsive for about 10 seconds). SCP-3106-A: I feel naked. It's too damn cold in this room. Dr. Ricardo: Describe the way it feels. SCP-3106-A: You know that feeling you get when you're completely naked somewhere you shouldn't be naked? Like in a dream where you're naked in public. Well, it feels like that on drugs. I don't even know how to describe it. It's just so intense. It's not something people are supposed to be able to feel. Dr. Ricardo: Interesting. Do you feel anything else? SCP-3106-A: I don't know, does it feel weird talking to a skeleton? Dr. Ricardo: What was it like being inside SCP-3106? SCP-3106-A: It hurt like hell. I mean, my whole body was being ripped apart. Literally down to the bone. At every point on my body. At the same time. Dr. Ricardo: Can you describe any other anomalies within SCP-3106? (SCP-3106-A is noticeably agitated). SCP-3106-A: I don't want to talk about it. Dr. Ricardo: D-8009, answer the question. (SCP-3106-A is unresponsive for about 40 seconds). SCP-3106-A: I can feel it. You have meat in here. My body wants it. I need it. Give it to me, and I'll talk. (Dr. Ricardo signals security personnel to allow SCP-3106-A access to the ground beef. SCP-3106-A covered itself with the beef and appeared relieved when it was done). Dr. Ricardo: Are you ready to cooperate? SCP-3106-A: Yes, that's… That's so much better. I feel warm. Like I'm in a real body. Dr. Ricardo: So dead animal flesh makes you feel like you're in a real body? SCP-3106-A: Yes, I have a heartbeat. I can breathe. I don't feel naked anymore. I can feel the table now. I never thought I'd want to feel handcuffs on my wrists again, but this is better than feeling nothing at all. Dr. Ricardo: So, before you didn't have any sensory input? SCP-3106-A: Are you stupid? Of course not. I didn't even have skin. Dr. Ricardo: You indicated feeling cold earlier. Do you mind elaborating? SCP-3106-A: All I felt was cold. I didn't feel anything else. I bet that's why all those animals go killing animals until they're covered in flesh. It's uncomfortable as hell. It was even starting to drive me a little crazy by the time I asked you for the meat. Dr. Ricardo: Thank you for that. I need you to be as specific as possible when you answer my questions. SCP-3106-A: Why don't you take a dip in that bog? Then you could answer them yourself. (Dr. Ricardo pauses and looks at his papers before responding). Dr. Ricardo: SCP-3106-A, answer my question about your experience in SCP-3106. SCP-3106-A: What was the question again? Dr. Ricardo: Did you experience any anomalies other than what happened to your body? SCP-3106-A: Yeah, I did. There was something in there with me. Dr. Ricardo: Tell me about it. What was it? SCP-3106-A: It wasn't a man. Or a woman. I mean, it wasn't physical, I don't think. Or maybe it was the bog. I don't know. It was just there. I felt it. It was hungry. Dr. Ricardo: But it didn't want to eat your bones? SCP-3106-A: Well, it didn't. I wasn't in control. It must have just not wanted them. Dr. Ricardo: So are you saying it was conscious? Did it seem self-aware? SCP-3106-A: What you guys are calling a cognitohazard is basically just mind-control. I mean, this thing was in my head, forcing me to stay inside until my skeleton was free to leave my body. Dr. Ricardo: So what are you saying about it? It thinks? SCP-3106-A: It has a mind. And I think it has desires and maybe some emotions. Dr. Ricardo: Please, elaborate. SCP-3106-A: I don't think it wanted me to die. I think it was just hungry… But… Well, I mean, I'm probably going to sound crazy, but it felt like it was happy. Kind of like it was thanking me for giving it my flesh. I guess that sounds pretty twisted when I say it out loud. Dr. Ricardo: What are your feelings toward it? SCP-3106-A: I don't know. It hurt me a lot, but… Maybe it didn't even know it was hurting me. Dr. Ricardo: D-8009, would you be willing to go back into SCP-3106? SCP-3106-A: Doctor, I've been a guinea-pig for the Foundation long enough. I know the drill. If I say no, you point a gun at my head. I'll go. I don't know if it'll hurt this time since my body is just hamburger. Dr. Ricardo: Thank you for your cooperation. + Exploration Log - Exploration Log Researcher: Dr. Ricardo Test Subject: SCP-3106-A Foreword: SCP-3106-A was placed into SCP-3106 and attempted to further discern the nature of SCP-3106. Recording equipment was surgically fixed into SCP-3106-A's chest cavity to ensure it didn't lose the equipment. Supervising researcher, Dr. Ricardo, remained in contact with SCP-3106-A during the exploration. Dr. Ricardo: D-8009, test your microphone. SCP-3106-A: Check. Dr. Ricardo: We read you. Proceed to SCP-3106. (SCP-3106-A enters SCP-3106). Dr. Ricardo: What do you feel, D-8009? SCP-3106-A: It doesn't hurt this time. (The ground beef can be seen leaving SCP-3106-A's body in large chunks. Beef leaves range of visibility after approximately 25 seconds). Dr. Ricardo: Swim down and turn on your body lamp. (The area in front of SCP-3106-A illuminates for 3 meters. Shreds of clothing start appearing after 1 minute of descending. The area expands approximately 4 meters in radius. SCP-3106-A: This space is opening up a lot. I can't tell where the walls are anymore. (SCP-3106-A's body cam continues to face toward the wall as SCP-3106-A swims further in). SCP-3106-A: I think this is its stomach. (The wall stops at a 90 degree angle and turns into a ceiling. No wall can be seen at this point). Dr. Ricardo: Swim down more and try to scan the area with your body cam. (SCP-3106-A complies and swims down. SCP-3106-A pans the body cam until it shows a pile of ground beef forming on a bowl-like surface). Dr. Ricardo: Is there anything else in the cave with you? SCP-3106-A: I can't see anything else. (SCP-3106-A swims to the side then stops). I see some ripped up clothes over here and… Shit, are you seeing this, Doc? Dr. Ricardo: Are you referring to the ground beef? SCP-3106-A: No, I mean the… The shoes. (SCP-3106-A swims closer to the side wall. A pair of small shoes can be seen toward the bottom). SCP-3106-A: They're so small. And I those clothes are too… Shit. Can I leave this cave? Dr. Ricardo: Slowly pan the camera around the cave to make sure we have everything on film. I'll let you know when you can leave. SCP-3106-A: Okay. (The body cam slowly pans the cave. SCP-3106-A swims along the walls and keeps its body cam steady. The process takes 2 minutes. More clothing articles can be seen on the camera. SCP-3106-A stops when a large tube reaches visual range). Dr. Ricardo: D-8009, inspect that tube. (SCP-3106-A is unresponsive for 15 seconds). Dr. Ricardo: D-8009, I repeat, inspect that tube. SCP-3106-A: No, I… I mean, that's just too much. Seriously, you can just kill me when I get back up there. I'm not going in that tube. Dr. Ricardo: SCP-3106 is not digesting you. It doesn't look like it has a sphincter to block off the passageway, you're not being dragged by a current, and so far you haven't complained about needing to breathe. You'll be able to swim back through. Proceed with the exploration. SCP-3106-A: Okay… I'll… Shit… (SCP-3106-A is silent for 10 seconds). Fine, I'll go through. (SCP-3106-A swims into the tube. The tube appears to have the same radius as the initial tube. Nothing unordinary appears within the tube for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, small bumps appear on the inside walls. SCP-3106-A stops before the first row of bumps and swims backward to distances itself). SCP-3106-A: I think I should stop here for now. Dr. Ricardo: Do you have anything else to report about the internal structure of SCP-3106? (SCP-3106-A is silent for 5 seconds). SCP-3106-A: I can hear him. Dr. Ricardo: You can hear SCP-3106? SCP-3106-A: Hold on, Doc. I'm going to try talking to him. (SCP-3106-A pauses for 4 seconds). Can you hear me? Dr. Ricardo: D-8009, are you communicating with SCP-3106? SCP-3106-A: Yes, he's… well… it's… I don't know. Confused. Dr. Ricardo: To be clear, you mean SCP-3106 is confused? SCP-3106-A: Yes… I… Hold on, Doc. (SCP-3106-A pauses for 10 seconds). No, I'm talking to a doctor. He wants to understand you. Dr. Ricardo: Is SCP-3106 audible? SCP-3106-A: It's really hard to talk to two people at once, Doctor. Can you just let me talk? Dr. Ricardo: Okay, continue, D-8009. SCP-3106-A: Who are you? (SCP-3106-A stops talking for 1 minute and 5 seconds). SCP-3106-A: What do you mean you don't know? How do you not know? (SCP-3106-A is silent for 12 seconds). SCP-3106-A: Doctor, SCP-3106 doesn't know who or what he is. Dr. Ricardo: Talk to it as if it were a child. SCP-3106-A: Okay… I'll try. Are you lost? (SCP-3106-A remains silent for 43 seconds). SCP-3106-A: He doesn't know where he is or where he came from. He's just hungry all the time. Dr. Ricardo: Ask it how big it is. SCP-3106-A: How big are you? (SCP-3106-A is silent for 14 seconds). SCP-3106-A: He doesn't know. He says he can feel heat at his bottom and see the sky at his top. Dr. Ricardo: Noted. Please continue. (At this point in the video feed, chunks of ground beef pass SCP-3106-A. Flagellum-like structures emerge from the rows of bumps and aid in moving the beef further in). SCP-3106-A: Are you hurt? (SCP-3106-A is silent for 45 seconds). SCP-3106-A: He says he doesn't know. Dr. Ricardo: Ask it about why it doesn't eat bones. SCP-3106-A: Why don't you eat bones? (SCP-3106-A is silent for 20 seconds). SCP-3106-A: He doesn't want to kill the things that feed him, so he lets the bones go free and find new flesh. Dr. Ricardo: Does it know what happens to the skeletons? SCP-3106-A: Do you know what happens when the bones get out? (SCP-3106-A is silent for 7 seconds). SCP-3106-A: He doesn't know. Dr. Ricardo: Okay, D-8009, you're free to leave SCP-3106. SCP-3106-A: Do you ever get lonely? (SCP-3106-A is silent for a moment). SCP-3106-A: I'll come back and talk to you. Notes: There are no plans to terminate SCP-3106-A. SCP-3106-A has been given more ground beef for its body and is currently stored in Containment Cell ██. Consideration for adding feeding times to SCP-3106's containment procedures is pending. Consideration for using SCP-3106-A for further interviews with SCP-3106 has been denied. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3106" by Regal-J, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3107 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3107 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3107 is to be contained in Sealed Containment Locker #122. Access to SCP-3107 is prohibited by order of Site-19 Administration. Individuals erroneously requesting access to SCP-3107 must submit to a mandatory psychological evaluation. Possible instances of SCP-3107-A are to be reclassified as Class-E personnel and detained. Electronic documentation regarding SCP-3107 and SCP-3107-A is considered non-anomalous. The full transcript is to be housed in a Site-19's Electronic Storage Unit, on rack 532-B. Description: AN EXCEPTION HAS OCCURED! ERR.MSG: Query on column S19.SCP.3107.DESC Exceeds maximum allowable data. Please alter search parameters. >> ../RemoveDataLimitationAndResubmit.ksh - Access Granted Overview SCP-3107 is an anomalous spherical construct measuring 20.32456 cm in diameter with a .000001cm margin of error. This error in measurement is a result of the 21,493 individual scratches on the surface of SCP-3107. See Note N-3107-460 for full documentation on the length, width and depth of each individual scratch on SCP-3107. SCP-3107 weighs an estimated 11305.55503 grams. This differs from the calculated weight of a non-anomalous, solid aluminum sphere of the same size by 559.373 grams, suggesting that SCP-3107 is hollow. See Note-392-A for full documentation on estimations of SCP-3107's interior cavity. In certain conditions, SCP-3107 emits acoustic noises similar to that of chime. The noise is played in C-Major at 63.3445433db with an average variation of .003456612db across all 340,512 recorded occurancess of this anomaly. See Note N-3107-341 for full documentation on individual noises emitted from SCP-3107. This noise played in response to certain stimuli. For full documentation on instances of SCP-3107-A, see Notes N-3107-A-1 for an overview and Notes N-3107-A-2 through N-3107-A-10457 for detailed errata regarding SCP-3107-A. Notes: Note-3107-1 <div class="ac_granted description" style="display:block> <?php if(!verified){ echo '<a href="' . htmlspecialchars("/termination.php?SCP=3107& stage=23&data=" .urlencode($critical_data)) . '">'."\n"; ERROR: WEBSOCKET PARSER FORCED USER KICK- MAX BUFFER SIZE REACHED! Recovery: SCP-3107 was uncovered by the Foundation packaged in a yellow box labeled "Dr. Wondertainment's Wonderball!" Notably, the packaging lacked the franchise's usual disclaimers and advertising. Due to the lack of [DATA EXPUNGED], it was later discovered that the box was a fake; SCP-3107 holds no relation to Dr. Wondertainment Incorporated. Research is ongoing to determine if the intent of the fabrication was to deliberately have SCP-3107 placed in Foundation custody. Testing Log A Foreword: Most of the recordings on file have been redacted for brevity. We don't need a thousand records of useless errata clogging our terminals. Department staff are already complaining that they're unable to view the object's description properly. The full documentation can be found in the ESU. Doctor Kiebler, Head of Anomalous Objects at Site-19 Test 1 —12/5/1999 Subject: D-3107-1 Research Director: Dr. Winslow Procedure: D-3107-1 is to interact with SCP-3107 to determine its function. Log: Subject was asked to enter the containment area and remove SCP-3107 from its packaging. D-3107-1 expresses hesitation. Dr Winslow: Keep going, Ms. [REDACTED]. D-3107-1 removes SCP-3107-1 from its packaging. Two audible chimes are heard. Dr Winslow: …Do you feel anything unusual? D-3107-1: No- Wait, am I supposed to!? Oh god, is this going to kill me? Dr Winslow: Not as such, [REDACTED], no. Continue interacting with the sphere; please mention if you feel anything unusual. Subject begins turning the SCP-3107 over in their hand. After three rotations, the SCP-3107 produces two audible chimes. Dr. Winslow: Curious. Could you do that again, please? Subject repeats the action. After three rotations, the SCP-3107 produces one audible chime. Dr. Winslow: Anything? D-3107-1: Nothing, no. Subject performs various interactions with SCP-3107. It is demonstrated that several interactions with SCP-3107 cause it to produce two chimes. Upon the repetition these actions, SCP-3107 only produces one chime. D-3107-1: Does… Does this thing just ring? Nothing else? Dr. Winslow: It appears so. It shouldn't, mind. However, I suppose even Dr. Wondertainment can create a dud. We'll have to perform more tests to make sure, of course. Martha, schedule another test for tomorrow. That will be all for today, Ms. [REDACTED]. Note: After the test, Dr. Winslow was warned for referring to D-3107-1 by their last name. Foundation personnel should be reminded that unnecessary socialization with D-Class personnel is discouraged. Test 6 —12/5/1999 Subject: Dr. Winslow Research Director: Dr. Winslow Procedure: Disregarding fellow staff members, Dr. Winslow climbed into the containment area to test SCP-3107 personally. Log: Immediately, an alarm sounds, indicating a containment breach. Dr. Winslow: Oh, turn those off, I'm not doing anything dangerous. The alarm turns off, followed by an automated request for all personnel to leave the testing area. Dr. Winslow: Martha, Martha. Relax. The ball does not even do anything. I'm just here to make sure. There is a brief crackling as Assistant Researcher Martha Clayton locates the microphone. Researcher Clayton: Damn it, there are protocols for a reason, Doctor! If you have to perform a test, bring in D-3107-1. Dr. Winslow: That number is quite the mouthful, you know. Researcher Clayton: Excuse me? Disregarding the intercom, Subject begins removing SCP-3107 from its packaging. It produces a single chime. Dr. Winslow: Regardless. Ms. J- er, D-3107-1 is cleaning the labs today. I don't have time to wait and I'm not too keen on this whole 'use D-Class as fodder' business. That is another matter, though. Subject approaches the observation window while speaking. Dr. Winslow: Besides, 3107 has shown to be perfectly- Subject slips, causing 3107 to propel towards the window. It collides with the glass. After five seconds of silence, two chimes are heard. Subject stands, looking pleased. Dr. Winslow: See? Perfectly safe. I wonder if we should stress-test this. Notes: Due to the results of this test, Doctor Winslow has formally classified SCP-3107 as Safe, and requested grant money to perform further research. In the request, Dr. Winslow cited an opportunity to further understand Wondertainment SCPs as a whole via a nonlethal example of their work. At this stage, Assistant Researcher Clayton requested reassignment. Test 107 —1/13/2000 Subject: D-3107-1 Research Director: Dr. Winslow Procedure: Subject is to interact with SCP-3107 to uncover additional stimuli that produce Chimes. Log: Dr. Winslow: You should know the routine by now. Normally I'd do this myself, but we're down a researcher. Go ahead. Subject begins to interact with SCP-3107-1. As seen previously, SCP-3107 produces two-chimes in response to the first instance of certain combinations of actions, suggesting that a chain of chimes is possible. D-3107-1: It's not that I'm ungrateful for the <pauses to breathe> nonlethal assignment, but Doctor, why are we doing all this again? Dr. Winslow: Why, for science, of course. What other reason should there be? D-3107-1: Right, then. Subject continues to interact with SCP-3107. Object chimes singularly multiple times during this process. While tossing the SCP-3107 aloft, the anomalous object accidentally collides with the subject's head. D-3107-1: Fuck! After five seconds, two Chimes are emitted from SCP-3107. Dr. Winslow: Hunh. D-3107-1: …What is it, Doctor? There is no response. D-3107-1: …Doctor? Dr. Winslow: Hm? Oh! Nothing, nothing. That will be all for today. You may return to your quarters, D-3107-1. Notes: This is the first time that SCP-3107 has produced a double-chime in over 2 weeks. Test 108 —1/14/2000 Subject: D-3107-1 Research Director: Dr. Winslow Procedure: Subject is to encounter repeated, damaging collisions with SCP-3107. Log: Dr. Winslow enters the testing chamber with SCP-3107. Subject begins pleading through their cloth gag. Dr. Winslow: Here we are again. I think we're finally on the verge of something interesting. Speaking of which, it is good to have you back, Ms. Clayton. It's so much easier to get work done with two people. Researcher Clayton: Good to be back, sir. I don't think you could keep me away at this point. Shall we get on with the test? I'm excited to see the results. Dr. Winslow: Of course, of course. What was I thinking? Are you ready, D-3107-1? Subject continues pleading; their restraints prove effective. Dr. Winslow: That's the spirit. Dr. Winslow begins administering the test to the subject. Two chimes are emitted for the first blow to Subject's head, though it only produces one chime for blows of increasing force. Two chimes are produced as one of the Subject's teeth becomes dislodged. Dr. Winslow: See? Progress. I think we've finally branched into new territory with chime interactions. Researcher Clayton: I agree, though we should conclude the test here; we aren't likely to receive another D-Class personnel with our current conduct. Dr. Winslow: Oh, I suppose you are correct. Very well. We can continue this tomorrow. Have a good evening, D-3107-1. We have an exciting day tomorrow. Subject is unresponsive. Test 1520 —3/20/2001 Subject: D-3107-1 Research Director: Dr. Winslow Procedure: Subject is to have SCP-3107 surgically inserted inside them, then rotated three times clockwise. Log: The Procedure is administered. Two chimes are produced as SCP-3107 is inserted. Two further chimes are produced as the object is rotated. Dr. Winslow: Well I'll be; you were right. Let the records show that chime-producing actions can indeed be strung together while inside a corpse. Researcher Clayton: I suspected as much. Perhaps- SCP-3107 produces three chimes. Researcher Clayton: Oh my god. Dr. Winslow: Did we get that on tape!? Three chimes! I can't believe it! Note: This was the first, and only recorded instance of SCP-3107 producing three chimes. Note from Dr. Roscranz: Several days after this test, SCP-3107 was reclassified as Euclid. Site-19 administration was made aware of erratic behavior in researchers studying SCP-3107, following reports of "the horrifying stench of rotting flesh." Upon investigation, the remains of D-3107-1 were recovered. All researchers studying SCP-3107 were reclassified as SCP-3107-A and administered psychological treatment. Amnestics have proven incapable of lifting the cognitohazardous properties of SCP-3107. Addendum: I was a good friend of 3107-A-1, back when we still called him Dr. Winslow. Knowing the difference between what he was and what he is now, I felt it necessary to add something here. There is a literal mountain of data on 3107, but this is the important bit: All things said and done, 3107 is almost entirely harmless. However, the Foundation is perhaps the worst place it could have ended up. Even in basic training, Researchers here are ingrained with a deep, driving need to discover. It isn't supposed to be a bad thing! That willpower is how we're able to ID impossible goddamn things like anti-memes or anti-concepts. After spending two months splitting my brain to remember "everything besides what 055 is not", I should know this better than anyone. With 3107, that persistence becomes our Achilles heel. It feeds on curiosity. It encourages our interest, then corrupts it. I know our Site Director will reprimand me for encouraging actions counter to standard procedure, but if we had just left 3107 in the box we found it in, none of this would have happened. Even after we started testing, James Winslow could have simply stated 3107 was a pointless ringing ball and thrown it in a containment locker. It would have never been touched again. Instead, this happened. So let this be a warning to you: Not everything in the Foundation has to be documented. We're not here to write books on the unknown or poke apocalypse monsters with a stick. We're here to Secure, Contain and Protect. Don't forget that.

SCP-3108 | safe | SCP-3108 in Containment Item #: SCP-3108 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3108 is to be contained in a standard anomalous object containment vault in Site-64, and is not to be removed except for testing purposes. Proposed tests must be approved in advance by both Dr. Johnson and Dr. Dietz. SCP-3108-1 is not to be loaded into SCP-3108 except during testing, and is to be stored in a separate containment unit. When conducting tests, SCP-3108 is to be handled by Site-64 security staff only. One officer is to hold and fire the object, while a second is to observe the proceedings to minimize risk of accident or foul play. Researchers and D-class are forbidden from firing the object due to safety and security concerns respectively. Due to the accuracy of SCP-3108 being in line with similar products, a maximum one (1) meter distance is to be maintained from the intended target to prevent accidents. Under no circumstance is SCP-3108 to be used in cross-testing with other SCP objects. Following Ethics committee ruling on 04/05/20██, testing on humanoids has been forbidden. Description: SCP-3108 is a heavily modified Nerf brand dart gun which demonstrates anomalous transformative properties when paired with SCP-3108-1, a foam dart discovered loaded within SCP-3108 at the time of recovery. SCP-3108 does not demonstrate these properties when firing Nerf darts other than SCP-3108-1, nor does SCP-3108-1 demonstrate these properties when fired from a different Nerf dart gun. The phrase "OP PLS NERF" is inscribed on the exterior of SCP-3108-1 in red ink. When SCP-3108 fires SCP-3108-1 into a target, said target will instantaneously be altered in such a way that the result is perceived as "worse" or "inferior" by the individual wielding the object. This transformation can range from minor alterations to complete molecular reconstruction. The law of conservation of mass does not affect transformations caused by SCP-3108, and noticeable increases or decreases in mass have occurred often in testing. The resulting objects or organisms do not show any evidence of anomalous traits. Transformations do not represent any objective value scale, but rather stem solely from the opinions of the current holder. The outer shell of SCP-3108 is composed of steel, with bronze inlays used as decoration. While not impervious to physical damage, disassembly of SCP-3108 has proven impossible due to its anomalous nature. All tools attempting to deconstruct the object will be transformed into broken or fake equivalents, precluding examination of the object's interior.1 This seeming behavior of self preservation is the only time SCP-3108 has altered objects beyond those hit by SCP-3108-1. Recovery: SCP-3108’s anomalous properties were discovered during a birthday party for 10 year old Jacob Pierce in ██████, Oregon. It is presumed SCP-3108 was fired at a concrete wall, resulting in the concrete being replaced by loosely stacked stones. The wall promptly collapsed, causing minor injuries to 3 civilians. Foundation involvement came after the family sued the contractor of their home for the incident. The anomalous effect that caused the transformation was eventually traced to the gun following examination of the incident's location. During post incident investigation, Jacob's brother 19 year old Nathan Pierce was identified as a member of the GOI Gamers Against Weed. Pierce had previously been known to the Foundation under his online alias "Kektagon," and had been designated POI-6897 due to his creation of SCP-████ and SCP-████. A subsequent attempt to detain the target failed, as POI-6897 had fled the area two days prior to identification as Nathan Pierce. Partial Test Log: Target: One dart board made of sisal fibres. Result: Dart board composition was changed to cork. In addition, various small holes and what appears to be a beer stain appeared on the board. Target: An eight by eleven sheet of printer paper. Result: Paper changed composition to single ply toilet paper. Target: One spare coffee mug from the Site 19 Cafeteria. Result: Coffee mug was replaced by a tea cup composed of ceramic identical to the mug's. Target: One United States dollar. Result: One United States quarter. Notes: Subsequent tests on dollar bills resulted in various outcomes, including dimes, nickels, pennies, foreign currencies, and fake bills from the board game Monopoly. There doesn't seem to be an exact formula for these changes.- Dr. Dietz Target: One can of Coca Cola. Result: One can of Pepsi Cola. Notes: Mike, the security officer observing the test, expressed dismay at seeing this result. We had him fire the dart at the Pepsi can and it changed right back into Coke.- Dr Dietz Target: One Standard D-class uniform. Result: Composition of uniform was changed entirely to cotton, and a tag reading "Made in China" was added at the neck. Notes: While that was hilarious, I think this test is onto something. Does the gun have a sense of humor?-Dr. Johnson Target: One VHS tape containing the 1971 film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Result: One DVD of the film's 2005 remake Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Target: One male Rattus norvegicus specimen. Result: One male specimen of Iridomyrmex purpureus. Notes: Interesting logic on this one. What is the causal link between rats and ants?- Dr Dietz Target: One female Golden Retriever. Result: One female American Shorthair with yellow hair. Specimen was unusually large (15.4 kilograms2) and continued to display behavior consistent with a Golden Retriever rather than a feline. Target: D-4281, 28 year old Caucasian male. Result: D-4281 transformed into a living specimen of Homo neanderthalensis. Preface: To test the limits of the danger SCP-3108 could pose to a human being, security officer Gardiner was instructed to reload and fire the gun repeatedly until ordered to cease. Target: D-3578, 24 year old Hispanic male. Result: Initially displaying similar results to D-4281, D-3578 proceeded to transform into a variety of different species including what appeared to be an Australopithecus, an unidentified member of the gibbon family, and a specimen of Bradypus pygmaeus.3 On nine occasions, the transformation did not result in a change of species but instead resulted in visible evidence of maiming, disease, or disability. Following 46 successive uses, testing was ceased as D-3578 had been reduced to a specimen of Lumbricus terrestris too small to be accurately hit by SCP-3108-1. Notes: Due to concerns from the Ethics Committee as well as the possibility of accidental creation of a Homo ignotus specimen, testing of SCP-3108 on humanoids is suspended effective immediately pending a hearing.- Dr Dietz Addendum: On 07/19/20██, Foundation personnel apprehended POI-6897 at an Internet cafe in Los Angeles, California. POI-6897 was then escorted to Site-64 for interrogation regarding his creations. Interrogation regarding SCP-3108 can be found below. + Show Interview - Hide Interview Interviewed: POI-6897, Nathan Pierce. Subject displays low level reality altering capabilities common among anartists and GAW members. Interviewer: Dr. Leo Dietz <Begin Log> Dr. Dietz: Mr. Pierce, today I'm going to be asking you some questions about another of your… creations. Specifically, the gun. POI-6897: Get fucked. Dr. Dietz: Now now, that isn't very helpful. Perhaps I should have Agent Green talk to you again instead? POI-6897: That, um, that isn't necessary. I'm sure he's a busy guy, we wouldn't want to bother him, lol. Dr. Dietz: Pierce, did you really just say the letters lol out loud? POI-6897: Ugh. I'm used to talking on the internet, sue me. And it's Kektagon to you. So, what do you fascist cucks want to know? Dr. Dietz: I am not going to call you by your juvenile screen name. More importantly, why did you create the gun? POI-6897: Oh the Nerfing gun. Classic. Yeah, I thought it would be funny. Dr. Dietz: …That's all? POI-6897: Look, what to do you want me to say? That it's a symbol of guns making the world worse or something? Not everything has some grand purpose man. It's just something I thought of while smoking. I mean come on, a Nerf gun that makes things shitty. It's hilarious! I didn't even think of the obvious pun until later. Eventually I got bored of it and gave it to my bro as a birthday gift. Probably should have warned him to be more careful, but live and learn am I right? Dr. Dietz: You honestly expect me to believe that? Despite your group's supposed pacifism, the anomalies you all have produced can be lethal. This little joke of yours has changed steel into balsa wood and people into invertebrates. You clearly intended this as a weapon. POI-6897: …You, you used it on people? Dr. Dietz: Our testing history is not relevant to- POI-6897: It… It was supposed to be a joke. It was funny. I changed Mass Effect 2 into Mass Effect 3, my neighbor's SUV into a Smart Car, I didn't use it on people! You bastards, why the hell would you do that? I'm not a murderer damn it! Why, why would you turn a joke into a torture device? Just… just get out of my cell. I'm done talking. <End Log> Footnotes 1.

SCP-3109 | euclid | SCP Foundation InfoSec/PR Statement The existence of SCP-3109 may be publicly acknowledged, but must be limited to the following information: An indeterminate series of anomalous events is taking place in the vicinity of Kuiper Belt Object 9987320 2448-U102. Foundation assets are working with various UN and Martian militaries to resolve and contain the situation. The environment of and space surrounding KBO 2448-U102 is currently incompatible with sustained human presence. Informational security is being maintained in the event the situation results in the manifestation of dangerous memetic or infohazardous properties. Civilian equipment or persons attempting to enter the quarantine zone are subject to immediate destruction. Any civilian attempting to observe the quarantine zone is subject to detainment, amnestic therapy, or permanent containment as appropriate. KBO 2448-U102 as viewed from Enceladus Site-01. SCP-3109-1 Visible in upper right quadrant. Item #: SCP-3109 Special Containment Procedure: A Foundation automated quarantine zone is in effect around SCP-3109 at a distance of 5,000 km. Astronomical observation, robotic and manned exploration of the body formerly known as KBO 2448-U102 is strictly prohibited to all civilian entities. UN and Martian Nation States are permitted to continue basic reconnaissance and observation of the object, subject to informational transparency with Foundation Assets and other involved Nation States. Data obtained from these observations must be classified Top Secret within their respective governments. Non-Foundation equipment entering the quarantine zone may not be retrieved under any circumstances. Exploration of SCP-3109 is subject to total loss at a rate of 40%. Surviving expeditions have internal loss rate exceeding 60%. All personnel assigned to SCP-3109 must be made aware of this prior to assignment. Exploration by D-Class Foundation assets must be voluntary by order of the Ethics Committee. Consent is not implied by prior voluntary D-Class service. Futher attempts to contact, sample, or neutralize SCP-3109-1 are prohibited. Description: SCP-3109 is a roughly spherical area centered on the newly discovered Kuiper Belt Object 2448-U102 with an approximate radius of 25,000 km. Material entering SCP-3109 may change in shape, size, chemical composition, and mass, and are also subject to various temporal and spatial distortions2. The area is also subject to random manifestation of simple and complex objects, both organic and inorganic, including artifacts normally only known to be manufactured by humans3. Unlike other reality-altering phenomena observed within Foundation accessible space, Kant readings within the region consistently align with the vacuum background level of 0.92 and 1.05 Humes. SCP-3109-1 is an unidentified anomalous entity or object which exists in the vicinity of KBO 2448-U102 at a distance ranging between 0 and 10,000 km of the planetoid's surface. Though SCP-3109-1 is corporeal and visible to lidar, spectroscopic analysis of its composition remains inconclusive, suggesting composition of some exotic form of matter. Despite consistent changes in position, SCP-3109-1 does not move in the classical sense. Though apparent movement can be measured at either the leading or trailing edge, photographic and video evidence confirms that the bulk of SCP-3109-1 remains stationary at all times. The object proceeds through space by manifesting additional material at its leading edge, and annihilating material at its trailing edge. Due to this, SCP-3109-1 is capable of apparently instantaneous movement and acceleration in any direction. Whenever SCP-3109-1 approaches within 200 km of KBO 2448-U102's surface, the planetoid's topography, environment, and chemical composition are subject to radical changes. Alteration becomes more severe as SCP-3109-1's proximity increases. Observed alterations include manifestation of oxygen atmosphere, spontaneous generation of living organic material, creation of new mountain ranges, liquefaction of the planetoid's crust, and spontaneous nuclear explosion. Despite continued contact with SCP-3109-1, KBO 2448-U102's orbit remains stable, and remote measurements of its mass remain unchanged. Discovery: On 14 September 2448 CE, automated Martian deep-system survey equipment on Ganymede identified the 4th inclination of a new Kuiper Belt object approximately 1060 km in radius, and granted the designation KBO 2448-U102. Analysis of photographic data from the planetoid identified several unidentifiable anomalies in its observed brightness. Martian Navy assets dispatched a long distance probe to perform basic reconnaissance in hopes of retrieving additional water ice and complex organics from the site to stabilize deficits in Martian planetary eco-forming and asteroid belt holdings. The probe entered local KBO 2448-U102 space on 05 January 2449 and began transmitting still images of the planetoid along with inconclusive spectroscopic analysis of another large (>200km in length) object apparently in orbit. Transmission continued for 37 minutes before the probe abruptly failed for unknown reasons (See Figure 1 Above). Martian Naval intelligence quickly notified UN Spacy and Foundation assets of possible anomalous activity, detained all persons directly exposed to the feed, and turned over their records to the Foundation in compliance with DSAAD4 Article 1. UN Spacy assets revealed at that time that an additional, manned mission was in transit to KBO 2448-U102 as of 16 September 2448 in an attempt to establish a sovereign base on the planetoid for future Kuiper Belt operations, flying under radio blackout which would not be lifted by the crew until planned transmission on 07 February. Under duress, UN Spacy assets authorized the release of vessel designation and yielded contact frequencies and command of the mission to the Foundation on 12 January. + Transmission Log 3109-01 - Access Granted Transmission Log 3109-01, 07022449 Foreword: The following is a transcript of transmission between Foundation Site Enceladus-01 and Frigate Class Vessel "UNV ██████████" on 07 February 2449. Mission objective, Fact-Finding regarding possible anomalous activity surrounding KBO 2448-U102. Conversation carried out over Direct Wave communication at 15 minute delay. Participants: SCP Researcher Marconi Van Allen; UN Spacy Captain Park, ████-█████ Researcher Van Allen: United Nations Vessel ██████████, this is researcher Marconi Van Allen of the SCP Foundation. We have been granted jurisdiction over this vessel by Admiral ██████ █████ under DSAAD Article 5. Please Respond with your mission status as soon as possible. Captain Park: SCP Researcher, this is a UN Spacy restricted frequency. No further communication will be acknowledged until we receive confirmation from Admiral █████ herself. Admiral █████ provided verification through UN Spacy's on-world vessel. Conversation resumed after 45 minutes of radio silence. Captain Park: SCP Site Enceladus-01, this uh… This is Captain Park reporting. I'm sorry, you have us at a loss. We're uh… This is a torpedo bomber designed for running military blockades. Just about the only thing we do is move fast, take pictures, and shoot back. Researcher Van Allen: Captain, I understand this is outside your normal mission parameters, and I'm very sorry. This situation is still evolving, and it's important for the safety of humanity that we not miss this opportunity to get important intelligence on KBO 2448-U102. You're equipped with video equipment, lidar, and a spectrometer, correct? Just that can tell us a lot. Captain Park: Enceladus, yes that's correct. But you can imagine, getting a call from the Foundation is not good news in deep space. We'll participate in the mission, but I need you to know that my crew and my ship come first and your intel comes second. I'd rather face a Court Martial than… I need some assurance that you're not going to screw us. Researcher Van Allen: Understood, ██████████, we are classing you as a provisional Class E asset. That makes your safety our top priority. Based on our telemetry, by the time you get this you'll be within 10,000 km of the object. I need you to perform a HARD deceleration burn as soon as possible. We don't know how far out this thing reaches yet. The farther away you can park, the better. Then point the forward array at the planetoid and send us anything you get back. Telemetry data shows UNV ██████████ begins deceleration at 3G prior to stop 5000 km from the surface of KB 2448-U102. Data stream connected. Analysis reveals composition of complex organics, water ices, methane, amonia, carbondioxide, oxygen, and trace metals. Captain Park: Enceladus, this… You should know that none of this is right. I'm looking at U102 out the window right now and it's a dead rock. No sign of anything like what the spec is showing. We're going to resend. Data stream connected. Analysis reveals object is composed primarily of heavy metals, with highest concentrations of iron, cobalt, titanium, and uranium. Traces of silicates also present. Captain Park: Enceladus, I'm really wondering if there's something wrong with our - Alarm klaxon is audible on tape. Red proximity alarm is visible on video feed. Captain Park: Red Alert! Strap in, NOW. Helmsman, evade! Enceladus base, unidentified object rapidly approaching. We - A loud crash is audible. Video displays sudden lateral acceleration in the bridge. Captain Park: Shit, starboard hull puncture. Seal that Deck! Enceladus, we are officially aborting. Mr. Kim, bring me the Sun! Telemetry indicates vessel begins retreat under 8G thrust for twenty minutes before slowing to 0.3 G. Contact reestablished. Captain Park: Mr. Van Allen, if you still read, here's our situation. During our last transmission the ██████████ was attacked by an… entity? A ship? A geometric crystaline… shape of some kind. I don't know exactly how, but it changed size, shape, speed, color… We'll send you video now but… I could barely see it. Rodriquez in weapons thinks it was hiding in the shadow of our planetoid. Lidar didn't even see it until it was 20km away. Right now we're limping home. The contents of our galley, a significant portion of our atmo, and about 2/3rds of our Deuterium vented into space during that last burn. Still leaking a little air. We have… Rod what was it? Two weeks operation time at current thrust. That'll put us just inside Saturn's orbit and about another week from your position before we're sunk. Please advise. Researcher Van Allen: Captain Park, you and your crew did wonderfully. Foundation vessels will rendezvous with you at attached coordinates in nine days. Keep in touch. Afterword: UNV ██████████ retrieved without incident. Ship's engineer, Lieutenant Velma Wirth, deceased of acute radiation exposure. All surviving crew members demonstrate various stages of radiation sickness. Radiation source unknown. Crew, vessel, and all material inside vessel subject to decrease in volume and mass of 0.2%. UNV ██████████ outer hull perforated in 47 places. Metallic distortion suggests punctures originated from between layers 5 and 7 of hull plating. No foreign material recovered from damage sites or within the vessel. Manned Expedition Log: The following table contains a list of notable manned expeditions to SCP-3109, including contact attempts with SCP-3109-1. + Display Manned Expedition Log 3109 - Access Granted Expedition Items Recovered Status Additional Comment 3109-01 None Total loss (3 KIA) SCP-3109-1 appeared inert on approach. Surface composition appeared static. Landing authorized. Spontaneous spaghettification of craft immediately prior to touchdown on surface of KBO 2448-U102. 3109-05 Approximately 250 mL of SCP-447 Safe Recovery During surveillance at range of 7000 km, all expedition members experience foul minty taste. Science Officer Rachel Smith-09 recognizes potential containment breach, instructs crew to expectorate immediately and aborts mission. 3109-07 1 human cadaver: D-2780 1 D-Class Asset KIA On approach within 2350 km of SCP-3109-1, Foundation craft experienced collision with an unidentified human cadaver. Recovery by crew revealed identity to be D-2780, currently on board. Mission ordered to proceed. When attempting to contact SCP-3109-1 at range of 20 km on standard narrow-band laser frequencies, the animate instance of D-2780 spontaneously disappeared from the vessel. Mission aborted. Analysis of cadaver suggests temporal displacement in excess of three months. 3109-12 3 rotary telephones, 1 live walrus, 2 anomalous amorphous entities resembling SCP-1297-1 Safe Recovery Objects encountered during installation of current containment perimeter. Telephones and walrus display no anomalous properties. Walrus proves unable to survive vacuum condition after retrieval. Proposal to return SCP-1297-1 instances to containment currently under review. 3109-13 None 6 D-Class Assets MIA, Presumed Dead See Addendum 3109-1. Addendum 3109-1: During manned expedition to SCP-3109 on 19102455, The FSV "Tempestuous" manned by 6 voluntary D-Class personnel was completely subsumed by SCP-3109-1. Transmissions from the Tempestuous continued to be received for the following 72 hours, but apparently could not receive any transmissions from the Foundation regardless of source. Below are selected transcribed portions of those transmissions. + Transmission Log 3109-13 0s - 05m 045s - Access Granted D-2953: FUCK! Operating lights up now. '82, find me a star or something. D-2982: On it. Lights coming up now. …Whoa… D-2953: Enceladus, I don't know if you still read us, but if you can, we've been straight swallowed by whatever the fuck this thing is. I… Allah hu akbar, it's beautiful. Like looking out into a shattered stain-glass mirror. '82, do we have stars? D-2982: Nothing yet, skipper. A couple IR sources but… it doesn't make any sense. D-2971 (over ship's com): Skipper we have… We have atmo outside of the ship? It's high oxygen and some trace gasses. About one-third ATM. I think we can breathe it. D-2953: Swear to fuck, if any of you open up that airlock, I'm not letting you back in. D-2982: Skip, recommend we defrost two or three for an EVA to figure it out? D-2953: Seriously, what did I just — Loud crashing is heard followed by several yells. Massive lateral acceleration visible on feed. Inaudible speaking continues for two minutes before D-2953 is able to reach the com. D-2953: Enceladus, we just got heavy. Things are… Oh come on. Enceladus, we're lying on our side on some kind of surface, covered in yellow filaments that look like wheat grass. And there has to be 200 dogs just chilling outside the front window right now. Small, brown and white coloring… We're gonna have to call you back. I have no idea what's going on right now. '82, wake '47 and '48 up here we're gonna need— UNKNOWN: Enceladus base… Please… Someone… (Repeats 5x) Afterword: Video feed from the craft's exterior, though distorted, is sufficient to identify at least 20 instances of SCP-2624-3. Additional animate canines are present, but fidelity is insufficient to give a positive ID. + Transmission Log 3109-13 02hr 38m 12s to 03hr 15m 10s - Access Granted D-2982: Enceladus this is D-2982… Skipper's dead. Or wishes she was. About 20 minutes ago, she was… vivisected… by an unknown… I'm trying to be professional about this, but I can't. We're all gonna die up here. '53 was torn to bits by some invisible nonsense. She just… Spun apart. All the tiny fleshy bits of her just… decoupled from one another. And for a minute there, her heart kept beating and her eyes kept moving. Her tongue and her… I don't know if she was trying to talk. But all of it started twitching. Then she spun back together again, fell to the deck, and hasn't moved since. I'm afraid to touch her. Com channel remains open for five minutes in complete silence. D-2982: We still don't know what happened to our EVA, that was almost a day ago. I'm gonna go ahead and call them lost. Faint barking audible in background. D-2982: Dogs are back… Audible crying begins. Soft sobs punctuated by wailing continue for approximately 10 minutes. D-2982: Skipper's alive… Still… Still under thrust. If this were any place else we'd be a million kilometers away by now but the… the background hasn't changed noticeably. Still can't see any stars. No closer to the edge. I'm hearing some things bounce off the hull every now and again, but I stopped caring after I saw '65's body floating by… about 20,000 kilometers across. D-2971 (over ship's com): Ready to fire those engines, skipper. D-2982: … I gave that order at least 20 hours ago. And I am heavy, we're definitely under thrust. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuu Vowel holds for 28 minutes. D-2982: -uk this place this place this place. [ Depresses ship's com ] '71, confirm for me we're under thrust… '71, you there? 10 minutes of silence D-2971: I got you '82. I was just gonna ask skipper if you wanted me to fire those engines? D-2982: …Sure. Give me .75 G and let's get out of here. D-2971: HA, don't have to tell me twice! UNKNOWN: Maybe we're the ones that aren't in the right order. D-2982 looks directly at the com camera, and remains motionless until feed cuts. Afterword: Due to the content of this log and subsequent logs, it's very likely that this log arrived to the Foundation at least 24 hours ahead of the time it was sent. + Transmission Log 3109-13 17h 00m 57s to 17h 39m 15s - Access Granted Foreword: This portion of the transmission does not appear to have originated from the bridge, but from within the EVA equipment originally stored on the Tempestuous. Receipt of this transmission indicates significant distortion of EM radiation within the anomaly, and may be responsible for past symptoms of radiation exposure noted in manned expeditions. Accompanying camera feed from EVA-2, worn by D-2948. D-2947: '47 check. D-2948: '48 check. D-2965: '65 check. D-2953: And this is Ops, reading you all. Go ahead and… Fuck, go ahead and open the airlock I guess. D-2948: Heh, Skipper's afraid of goofy space shit. Skip, didn't you grow up on Mars? Isn't this just like… Thursday for you? D-2953: Don't start, asshole, you just woke up. Shit is literally sideways up here. D-2947: Airlock cycling… Done. Airlock door opens. View of exterior of craft shown through airlock window is inconsistent with the view once the door is opened. Outside shows very little ambient light, no yellow filaments, and no animate canines. Landscape consistent with other dwarf planetoids in the Kuiper Belt to date. D-2948: Wow. Real spooky. I gotta tell you Skip, this is super scary. D-2947: Leaving the airlock now. '53, we're seeing a planetary surface, do you have video? D-2953: Yes, I do… I'm still seeing dogs and wheat grass up here at the bridge. All three expeditions members exit the airlock. Camera shows a sky full of stars, with SCP-3109-1 visible high in the sky. Range unknown. Angular size of 15 degrees at its longest. Object proceeds slowly toward the setting sun. D-2965: …Skipper, you're absolutely sure that we're inside of Dash-One? D-2953: Yes, I'm sure. I see your feed, I don't… I don't know what to think I might be some - Audio from the bridge immediately cuts as the airlock doors cycle closed. Camera view whips to location of the airlock. No ship is visible and there are no signs of the Tempestuous ever having landed behind them. D-2965: Skip?… '53? Tempestuous, this is EVA team, do you copy? D-2948 can be heard beginning to hyperventilate in his suit. D-2948 screams. D-2947: Oh shit. SHIT. '65 where's the fucking ship?! D-2965: …Oh no. D-2948: We're dead. We're fucking dead. That's it. The air is gonna run out and we're gonna die and that'll be the end. D-2965 pulls D-2948 to her helmet and speaks without opening com. Vibrations picked up by in-suit microphone. D-2965: You need to calm down. If you keep hyperventilating, you're going to run your CO2 up and blow your scrubber before you run out of Oxygen. D-2948: Who cares?! What difference does it make? We're fucked! D-2965: We don't know that yet. It looks bad. But we might have options. [ Resumes use of Coms ] Ok, first thing, we look for a cave or a hollow, and a large rock that'll fit over the surface. Second we work on boosting the signal of our transmitter in hopes we can catch a mining vessel. D-2947: What about Dash-One? Any second this place could turn into the surface of the sun! D-2965: Yeah, and it might turn into the Jersey Shore, too. That's an unknown. We have to deal with what we have. SCP-3109-1 suddenly extends in length such that its nearest point is directly above D-2948 at an apparent range of less than 1 km. Angular size now in excess of 90 degrees. Entity takes on a bright yellow coloration. D-2947 and 2948 retreat several dozen meters. D-2965 stops and looks up at the object. D-2965: …Magnificent… Do you hear that? D-2948: '65, don't look at it! D-2965: I hear something. It's singing. Do you not hear that singing? D-2965 suddenly accelerates upward as if in free-fall greater than 1 G. Her trajectory deflects around SCP-3109-1 prior to D-2948 continuing retreat. Blue cuboid crystalline structures (possibly a copper molecular salt) spontaneously form in the surrounding area and slowly rise toward SCP-3109-1. Camera pans around and large crystal accumulation can be seen on the outer surface of the object. D-2948 continues retreat, but movement begins to slow and strides become shorter, as if responding to increased gravitation. Liquids of indeterminate composition manifest on the surface and rise in small spherical droplets. D-2947 drops into a large puddle of opaque liquid which settles immediately. No trace of D-2947 remains. Distressed vocalization is audible from D-2948 as forward progress stops and camera angle ascends. D-2948: Skipper! Tempestuous! Someone answer me! I'm getting pulled into it! D-2948 continues to rise above KBO 2448-U102. Analysis indicates possible red shifting of planetoid surface which is inconsistent with observed velocity. SCP-3109-01 structures surround D-2948. Ambient light from indeterminate source illuminates several polyhedral crystalline structures. Red shift effect appears to stop. Camera reorients to the direction of D-2948's motion. FSV Tempestuous is visible in upper right quadrant of feed for 0.3 seconds before suddenly disappearing. D-2948 makes sudden contact with a surface resembling planetary basalt. Vital signs from within the suit no longer detectable. Camera continues transmitting for 25 minutes. Portions of basalt structure crumble and float away toward blue crystals resembling those collected from the surface of KBO 2448-U102. Both materials spontaneously liquefy and combine together. Small structures resembling the appearance of SCP-3109-01 in an inactive state manifest within the solution, and expand to consume it. Structures form resembling calcite pins on the surface of these instances, which suddenly disintegrate and accelerate outward in all directions. Five such instances develop and disintegrate in view of the camera before feed cuts. UNKNOWN: Don't come for me. I've made my peace. + Transmission Log 3109-13 55h 40m 18s - 56h 00m 00s - Access Granted Text Description: For the duration of this segment, the transmission feed from the Tempestuous is replaced by a silent video stream of the final 20 minutes of the film "2001: A Space Odyssey". Whether this is intentional or due to spatial/temporal distortions surrounding SCP-3109-1 is unknown. + Transmission Log 3109-13 69h 20m 75s to 69h 23m 97s - Access Granted Foreword: Transmission appears to be an isolated single-camera feed from the exterior of FSV Tempestuous. Neither the Tempestuous nor its crew are visible. Audio transmission appears to be a male human voice claiming to be an agent of the Foundation which matches no voice printing on record. Time stamps of video appear to have been anomalously altered to allow up to 125s per minute during this segment. UNKNOWN: Enceladus Base… Please… Someone… Camera depicts a view consistent with earlier views of the interior of SCP-3109-01. Large luminous structures similar in shape to electron orbitals are visible floating within the field. UNKNOWN: but I'm not confident. UNKNOWN: I don't know if anyone can hear me, but if you can… Stay away from Oberon5, there's nothing for us here. It's… it's connected to 3109 somehow. Luminous structures drift toward one another, forming ring structures consisting of five or six. UNKNOWN: From what I've seen… Whatever is down here can do just about anything. I wish it made more sense. Ring structures collide with other solitary floating structures, and attach to the edges of each ring at predictable angles. UNKNOWN: It's absolutely beautiful but I can't figure it out. They're huge. Big as a house. What's that… 10 meters across? something like that. Like enormous extra-dimensional tinker toys. Allah hu'akbar I hope this feed gets to someone smarter than me. It's a Foundation vessel, so hopefully the transmitter is still working. Still image from Transmission Log 3109-13 @ 55h 22m 109s Large groups of the unidentified structures combine in geometric patterns in many parts of the field. View is insufficient to be conclusive as to greater structure, but structures appear to resemble known organic chemicals of some variety. UNKNOWN: I was separated from my team… Maybe they'll make it back with a complete report… I don't even know if you'll get this in the right order. My memories aren't even in the right order… Motion and recombination of luminous structures continues throughout. UNKNOWN: after we landed. They just vanished. UNKNOWN: Enceladus Base… Please… Someone… Afterword: Analysis of video feed by organic chemistry lab at Site-19 confirms the presence of structures analogous to deoxyribose based nucleotides. Still attached for reference. Proposing we investigate causal and spatial isolation of KBO 2448-U102 and surrounding space from the rest of the Sol System. The anomaly is dangerous and unpredictable, and allowing its continued existence in the Kuiper belt has the potential to destabilize future prospecting operations, and thereby the existence of all extraterrestrial human presence. Mars and Ceres included. Attached to this proposal are plans for an array of N-dimensional manifold inhibitors capable of contracting and isolating the entirety of the current containment strata within a standard S-213 causal isolation cell. Please consider this option seriously, expenses notwithstanding. - Jr Researcher Dr. Thaddeus Xyank, Extra-spatial Topology Proposal rejected by 3-9 decision. There is as yet insufficient evidence to suggest that this containment would prove to be indefinitely effective. This is beyond us. Leave it alone. - O5-12 Footnotes 1. Reclassification to "Occam" rejected on grounds that this object cannot be determined to be a natural or constructed anomalous phenomenon. In addition, the object cannot be confirmed to be self-containing, nor to have any benefit to maintaining collective normalcy. Until any of these points can be verified, Euclid classification remains appropriate. -HMCL Rachel Smith-09 2.

SCP-3110 | euclid | SCP-3110 during recovery Item #: SCP-3110 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3110 is to be contained within a large containment cell in Site-76. Due to the range of SCP-3110 and its strain on resources, testing is to be limited to two times per month, where all on-site personnel are to be subjected to a full body search. Any use of SCP-3110 outside of approved testing is strictly prohibited and will result in demotion. EFFECTIVE AS OF 9/12/████: As a result of Incident 3110-35, all uniforms belonging to Class-D personnel are to be confiscated and replaced with uniforms with no pockets. SCP-3110 must also be given five items every month in order to deactivate its newly found secondary effect. Description: SCP-3110 is a large garbage disposal unit. The exterior and interior are worn, due to constant civilian use and heavy testing. The exterior of SCP-3110 is covered with large amounts of graffiti, rust, and bird feces. SCP-3110's anomalous effects manifest once an item of considerable monetary worth is placed within it. Once it is placed inside, it will seemingly disappear from the interior within 5 minutes, and the object of interest is then teleported to a random person within a 2-kilometer radius within a clothing pocket on their person. If no such pocket is found, it will teleport to a random crevice within the radius. Currently, the Foundation has recognized approximately 300 items that SCP-3110 can teleport, given that the object is in a fair state, or can be reasonably repaired. Objects include, but are not limited to: Non-expired food and drink Jewelry Any type of currency Computers and mobile devices Weaponry Clothing After a successful teleportation, a note is usually found attached to the object of interest, usually containing a message of encouragement (See addendum 3110-2 for examples). SCP-3110 appears to have a quota of at least five objects to give per month. If the quota is not met, SCP-3110 will begin to take objects that are not attached by heavy adhesives or fasteners and will distribute the items as normal. It has been noted in a majority of tests performed on SCP-3110 that test items are given to D-Class personnel. This seems to indicate that SCP-3110 has a priority system in place, where those with less economic stability, high emotional trauma, and/or low social influence are more likely to receive items from SCP-3110. Testing Log 3110-473L: Procedure: Three D-Class personnel are to be placed at 3 checkpoints: one at 1 Kilometer, one at 2 kilometers, and the last D-Class at 3 kilometers. Each D-Class is to be monitored and escorted by a guard. Areas within the chosen radius are to be cleared of any personnel not involved in testing to prevent unwanted interception of testing items. After the initial test, D-Class are to be placed at more precise points in the vicinity of the initial capture point. Results: Radius of effect narrowed to 2 kilometers Notes: Items Used: 15 leather wallets, each including a different currency Procedure: An equal assortment of D-Class personnel and Researchers are to be placed around the facility, D-Class with accompanying guards. Various foodstuff items with various states of quality are to be placed in SCP-3110. Results Molding or otherwise inedible food items are not accepted by SCP-3110, with the opposite being true. Notes: Items Used: 1 Carton of Milk (refrigerated), 3 Hamburgers (1 freshly made, 1 partially eaten*, 1 a day old*), 3 cans of corn (2 unopened, 1 open*), 1 5 cm block of cheese (molding)*; 70% of items accepted were given to D-Class by SCP-3110. Procedure: Similar conditions are to be met as the last conducted test, with the substitution of clothing for foodstuffs. Results: Items that are in irreparable condition, are not given out by SCP-3110. Notes: Items Used: 3 T-Shirts (1 in irreparable condition*), 1 Scarf (with small cuts). Distribution of items is observed is similar as the last test. Procedure: Similar conditions are to be met as the last test, with the substitution of high-value items with various wear for clothing. Results: All items, despite wear, are given out. Notes: Items Used: 1 24k Diamond Ring (broken), 2 Bars of 24k Gold, 1 Large Bag containing $10,000. 3 Designer Handbags (1 slightly worn). *Signifies item was not accepted by SCP-3110 Addendum 3110-1: SCP-3110 was recovered by MTF Pi-1 in New York City, New York, on 4/12/19██, after a court case involving David ███████(deceased), a homeless man being charged with armed robbery of a local bank. Police found ███████ with $30,000 in cash in a large duffel bag, leading to his arrest. Foundation investigators were able to trace security footage to an alleyway near 23rd Street, where the actual culprits were found throwing the money into SCP-3110, the money appearing next to ███████, living in Madison Square Park at the time. After agreements were created with local government officials, SCP-3110 was recovered and replaced without incident. During initial cleaning, the body of a young adult female was found near the bottom of SCP-3110. The body was eventually identified to be the body of Lana ████████, a 24-year-old female living in New York City, who had gone missing only two weeks earlier. ████████ was a well-known volunteer in many charities and fundraisers, but was infamous within New York City for her dumpster diving runs in numerous alleyways. Analysis of ████████'s body found that she had died of asphyxiation. Her body was returned to local authorities after standard examination and decontamination of the body were conducted. Addendum 3110-2: The following notes are the only two variations of notes found during initial testing. Hey, I get ya: life doesn't always go your way sometimes, and you'll feel as if your luck has run out. I've seen it happen for myself. But, here's a little something to keep you motivated :-) Yo, I would recommend giving this to someone who needs it more than you do. Don't hog all the goods for yourselves! :-) Incident Report 3110-35: On 8/4/████, multiple D-Class personnel were found with level black contraband items1. During the full body check of the suspected D-Class, a total of 15 firearms were found, originally belonging to the Guard Armory. Five minutes later, Researcher ██████ reported a stolen clipboard and pen, along with his computer mouse. Within the next hour, numerous objects within Site-76 were reported missing, including: Both couches from Break Room A The Fridge from Break Room B, along with the foodstuffs within it 1 MTF Rover 23 cases of bleach from the Left Wing Laundry Room 3 computers 7 CCTV cameras 2 transport carts SCP-140 Containment procedures and description were changed accordingly. Locations of SCP-140's containment cell and the Guard Armory were moved outside of SCP-3110's radius of effect. All items affected were returned to their original point of origin. Research is ongoing whether or not SCP-3110 possesses choice or knowledge of what it teleports during this phase. Addendum 3110-3 Approximately █ weeks after Incident 3110-35, Dr. Harding, the current Project Head of SCP-3110, received a pen as a result of testing of SCP-3110. However, the note received was different than other notes received in the past: Warden (or at least what I think you are), What you and your "buddies" decided to do a few weeks ago is unjustified. If you want to keep a few things every now and then, be my guest. But, at least give a good chunk of the goods to your prisoners every now and then for Christs sake. However, I have my suspicions that you won't take this note seriously. You won't consider it one bit. But, with time, thoughts and decisions can change. I won't hold my breath and say you won't change. I have my doubts, of course, but I'll keep my optimism. The future is in front of us, warden. Don't be a chain holding the ship back; be the wind pushing it. :-) Any further deviations from the found notes as well as possible theories as to how SCP-3110 was able to discern Site-76 as a prison are to be submitted to the current project head of SCP-3110 for review.

SCP-3111 | safe | Item #: SCP-3111 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3111 is to be kept in a Safe storage locker at Site-17, and is only to be removed for testing purposes. When in an active state, SCP-3111 is to be observed by Level 2 staff or higher until it returns to its dormant state. Instances of SCP-3111-1 are to be stored either physically in a separate storage locker, or digitally in a secure hard drive in the Site-17 computer server, depending on the instance. Description: SCP-3111 is a collection of human fingers joined together at the metacarpo-phalangeal joints, forming a spherical mass measuring approximately 22 centimeters in diameter and weighing approximately 0.58 kilograms. Despite its pale pigmentation, SCP-3111 is biologically healthy. DNA testing has not discovered a match in Foundation records. Further physical testing has shown that SCP-3111 has the ability to regenerate, the time taken to do so depending on the severity of the injury. Dislocated and broken joints have been observed regenerating over a period of approximately 30 minutes, whereas removed fingers have been observed regenerating over a period of 2 hours. In its dormant state, SCP-3111 is nonreactive to external stimuli. The fingers can easily be manipulated along the joints, as far as the joints can physically allow. When placed within 0.25 meters of a word processing device, SCP-3111 will enter its active state. Acceptable devices range from standard typewriters to desktop computers to laptop computers, so long as the latter two have word processors installed. SCP-3111 will proceed to use its fingers for locomotion, similar to that of an arachnid. SCP-3111 will move in the direction of the word processing device at a speed of 25 centimeters per second. Once SCP-3111 reaches the device, it will proceed use its fingers to type an instance of SCP-3111-1. Once SCP-3111 is finished typing, it will return to its dormant state until placed within 0.25 meters of a different word processing device. If removed from within 0.25 meters of the device before SCP-3111 reaches it, it will return to its dormant state. SCP-3111-1 is a written transcript of Game 6 of the 1975 World Series between the Cincinnati Reds and the Boston Red Sox that took place on October 21st, 1975. No variations between SCP-3111-1 instances and the official record of the game have been found. When an individual begins reading an instance of SCP-3111-1, they will vanish and reappear inside Fenway Park stadium in Boston, Massachusetts at the beginning of the game. The game will proceed to play out as transcribed, after which, the individual will reappear in their location where they began reading SCP-3111-1. This displacement lasts a period of approximately 4 hours. Testing has shown that subjects appear in a random seating section each time SCP-3111-1 is read. Displaced subjects have free range of movement both inside and outside the stadium and are incorporeal. Any attempts to interact with both onlookers and players have failed. SCP-3111 was discovered on December 21st, 1975, when the ██████ Post Office reported a package containing SCP-3111 to local authorities. Embedded agents retrieved SCP-3111, and Class-A amnestics were administered to witnesses. Addendum: The following is an enclosed note that was discovered with SCP-3111. Jeff, I felt bad about scheduling you for work on the night of the game, so I had a friend pull some strings (took a while), and he came up with this. According to him, just put this thing in front of a typewriter, read what it gives you, and you'll be 'right there,' whatever that means. He works for some rather unusual people, but he assured me that you'll love this, even if it is kinda ugly. I wish you all the best and hope you enjoy this gift.

SCP-3112 | safe | Agent ███ gathering SCP-3112-A instances for investigation upon its first manifestation Item #: SCP-3112 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3112 is to be monitored by Foundation satellites intended to detect electromagnetic radiation at a global scale. Locations identified to exhibit frequencies of 7a x 7.7a7a Hz. are to be further monitored for possible activities relating to GOI-312. Foundation personnel are assigned to monitor Site-81's staff break room at all times to collect SCP-3112-A manifestations. Instances of SCP-3112-A are to be immediately inspected and sorted. In the event of a sudden influx of SCP-3112-A manifestations, additional Foundation personnel and equipment are to be assigned to the area. Collected instances of SCP-3112-A are to be kept in a standard containment locker at Storage Site-81. Testing with the Foundation-created SCP-3112 instance had been approved by Dr. █████ as of 21/07/2016. Testing is to be done at Site-79 due to the electromagnetic interference associated with SCP-███. Description: SCP-3112 is an anomalous form of electromagnetic radiation with a frequency of 7a x 7.7a7a Hz. SCP-3112 has been observed to allow inter-dimensional translocation of letters and postcards. Foundation efforts to replicate SCP-3112's frequencies and anomalous effects have been successful. (see: Test Log-3112-01) The spontaneous manifestations of envelopes and postcards, designated SCP-3112-A, within Site-81's staff break room is theorized to be caused by an interruption to SCP-3112's frequencies. This abrupt cancellation of SCP-3112's frequencies leads to the unexpected release of SCP-3112-A instances upon reaching the end of SCP-3112's cancelled waves. The interruptions to SCP-3112's frequencies was confirmed to be caused by the anomalous property of SCP-███, found within the same site. SCP-3112-A instances have been identified to be non-anomalous in nature. SCP-3112-A exhibits texts written in unknown scripts and languages, although some instances contain intelligible writings. Addresses and return addresses appear to be unique for each SCP-3112-A instance. A supposed extra-dimensional postal service provider identified as InDi-Mail, designated GOI-312, claims to be responsible for SCP-3112 and SCP-3112-A manifestations. GOI-312 have successfully contacted the Foundation twice and provided instructions for the construction of SCP-3112-B on first contact. (see: Document-3112-01 and Document-3112-02) Further attempts at contacting GOI-312 are being made. SCP-3112-B is a 50cm x 50cm x 50cm wooden box embedded to the side of a Quercus macrocarpa, known commonly as bur oak, with one twig attached to the box through adhesives. Letters and postcards following specific conditions and deposited to SCP-3112-B are immediately transported upon exposure to SCP-3112 frequencies. SCP-3112-B was constructed by the Foundation with Dr. █████'s approval to utilize SCP-3112 in an attempt to contact GOI-312. + Document-3112-01: GOI-312-L-01 - Document-3112-01: GOI-312-L-01 A letter found to address the Foundation directly was discovered while sorting SCP-3112-A instances. Below is a transcript of the letter. InDi-MAIL stay connected, no matter how far yonder To our friends at the Foundation, We at InDi-Mail give you our most sincere apologies for the inconvenience. We seem to have struck an unexpected interference to our ravenwaves at one of our mailways established to pass your domain, as a result, messages prematurely drop at your location.

Upon reappearance, the following note was found attached to the box. Invalid Delivery: Delivery too large. Recordings obtained from the device displayed static upon examination subsequent to testing. Notes: Let's go with flat mail, I shall compose a letter. -Dr. █████ Researcher: Dr. █████ Date: 07-25-2016 Procedure: One standard enveloped letter was placed inside SCP-3112-B and exposed directly to SCP-3112. Written on the envelope was the specified mailing address found in Document-3112-01. Results: Letter disappears briefly and reappears after approximately 3.50 seconds, similar to previous testing. Upon reappearance, the following note was found attached to the letter. Invalid Delivery: Postal Token required Notes: We'll have to identify this so called postal token. Perhaps inspection of SCP-3112-A instances may shed some light -Dr. █████ 100% of inspected SCP-3112-A instances contains leaves coming from Sambucus nigra (known commonly as elder). It has been hypothesized to be the Postal Token in question. Researcher: Dr. █████ Date: 07-28-2016 Procedure: One standard enveloped letter and one Sambucus nigra leaf was placed inside SCP-3112-B and exposed directly to SCP-3112. Written on the envelope was the specified mailing address found in Document-3112-01. Results: Letter disappears briefly and reappears after approximately 3.50 seconds, similar to previous tests. Upon reappearance, the following note was found attached to the letter. Your mail will be sent shortly. Thank you for choosing InDi-Mail. Notes: Finally, our first successful attempt. We'll just have to wait and see now. -Dr. █████ + Document-3112-02: GOI-312-L-02 - Document-3112-02: GOI-312-L-02 A similar letter to Document-3112-01 had been discovered while sorting SCP-3112-A instances the day following Foundation's first successful attempt at inter-dimensional translocation through SCP-3112. Below is a transcript of the letter. InDi-MAIL stay connected, no matter how far yonder To our friends at the Foundation, We have received your letter. Thank you for inquiring with us here at InDi-Mail. On behalf of the entire team, we are immensely glad of your interest at availing our services despite recent incidents. It seems that you have already set up ravenwave connections on your own, we thank you for this as it shortens the setup process on our behalf. We would simply have to connect your ravenwaves to the new mailway route being developed for your domain now, once it has been done, you would officially be part of our ever growing list of InDi-Mail users. We thank you, Foundation, representatives of Domain 3876-ß for opening the possibility of extending our services to your domain. Without you, this would have not been possible. Stay tuned for an upcoming InDi-Mail branch near you! Sincerely, Nerrlen the Great Head and Founder of InDi-Mail |
SCP-3113 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3113 Special Containment Procedures: Knowledge of SCP-3113's location is distributed on a strict need-to-know basis. No personnel who are aware of SCP-3113 may be stationed at the facility in question. Testing must be performed remotely, with on-site participants requiring amnesticization after its conclusion. SCP-3113 is kept in an oversized Type 2 Kinetohazard Containment Chamber equipped with soundproofing materials in an area of the facility away from high-value items and established evacuation routes. Documentation describing the chamber's contents as an extremely painful, but non-lethal, cognitohazardous installation has been falsified to minimize interest in entering the chamber.1 Description: SCP-3113 is a group of objects and materials that, immediately prior to the development of their characteristic anomalous property, comprised much of the structure and contents of the Site-47 Reliquary. Due to the circumstances of its formation and subsequent testing, SCP-3113 is composed predominantly of rubble and scrap metal. SCP-3113 cannot occupy any space through which a human intends to pass; no method tested thus far has circumvented this property. Whenever a human intends to pass through an area of space already occupied by a member of SCP-3113, that member will be violently (300-350 kph) displaced out of the subject's path. This effect lasts until the subject no longer intends to enter or occupy the area in question. This effectively prevents SCP-3113 from impeding any individual's motion. SCP-3113 is apparently incapable of damaging human beings, and will be expelled in a different direction should any part of it encounter one. Structural damage that results from active SCP-3113, however, has caused several direct and indirect casualties. Due to the difficulty of safely testing SCP-3113, the exact parameters for its activation are somewhat unclear. It is known that an intention to travel through every place on Earth, or the entirety of its holding facility, will not trigger the effect, while intent to enter its containment cell will do so. Knowledge of the area containing SCP-3113 relative to oneself or another known landmark appears to be a prerequisite. Knowledge of SCP-3113 has no inherent effect on its activation. As most subjects do not believe themselves capable of entering an area of space occupied by solid objects, SCP-3113 is usually activated by subjects who are unaware of its exact position or who are aware of its anomalous property. The circumstances of SCP-3113's recovery suggest that it was implemented as a method of efficiently extracting an artifact from the Site-47 Reliquary. The method by which anomalous properties were imparted on SCP-3113, whether this method is repeatable, and the party(s) responsible are all unknown. Recovery Log: The following events took place on January 18, 2017 at Site-47. <14:16> An unidentified individual, henceforth POI-3113-0, approaches the exterior fence surrounding the facility, carrying an unidentified (presumably custom-made) firearm. Subject is 1.6m tall, with all skin covered by clothing. Security personnel are dispatched. <14:17> POI-3113-0 ignores instructions to stand down. Security personnel open fire; however, all bullets become part of SCP-3113 prior to contact with the subject and are dispelled. <14:18> POI-3113-0 makes threatening gestures with its firearm. Security personnel are instructed to stand down in order to minimize potential casualties. Subject approaches an exterior wall (belonging to the Site-47 Reliquary) at a walking pace. A response team is dispatched (ETA: 14:23). <14:20> POI-3113-0 reaches the exterior wall. After several seconds of apparent examination, and an unidentified vocalization, a segment of the wall roughly 3m x 8m is affected, and propelled into the facility at high velocity. Analysis suggests that it rebounded off Research Assistant Carnegie towards the primary storage area, causing massive damage to the facility. Four personnel are killed by high-velocity debris. POI-3113-0 enters the facility and apprehends RA Carnegie with its firearm. <14:21> A brief exchange occurs between POI-3113-0 and RA Carnegie, surmised to be POI-3113-0 demanding the location of AO-51160.2 AO-51160's storage unit is converted into SCP-3113 and subsequently expelled at high velocity from its casing. The unit is sufficiently damaged to allow access to AO-51160. <14:22> POI-3113-0 approaches AO-51160's storage unit and retrieves the artifact. Response team arrives shortly thereafter. POI-3113-0 runs further into the damaged portion of the facility upon noticing the response team; the area into which it ran had no functioning cameras at this time. <14:23> Response team pursues POI-3113-0. Shortly thereafter, the response team reports an inability to locate POI-3113-0. Subsequent investigation fails to identify POI-3113-0's location or means of egress. Footnotes 1. Initially, the falsified documentation described the chamber's contents as highly lethal. This was altered after Incident 3113-D6, in which containment was breached after a staff member decided to enter SCP-3113's cell as a means of committing suicide, and Incident 3113-E11, in which a Chaos Insurgency cell resolved to steal the chamber's supposed contents for weaponization purposes. 2. AO-51160 is a mummified human leg, purported by some legends to have belonged to [REDACTED]. It displays Class-3 Indestructibility and room-temperature superconductivity. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3113" by Communism will win, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3114 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3114 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3114 is held in a 3 meter by 7 meter enclosure surrounded by reinforced steel, with impact glass windows for observation. A smaller 1 meter by 2 meter cell is attached to contain SCP-3114 when its enclosure needs to be entered for maintenance, enrichment, or inspection. When SCP-3114 needs to be moved from one section to another, a projection of a human subject will be displayed on a wall in the desired area. Once SCP-3114 attacks the projection, the door will be closed. No personnel are to enter SCP-3114's enclosure outside of approved testing procedures. Description: SCP-3114 is an animate human skeleton. It stands approximately 1.6 meters tall and weighs 30 kg. Though it has no articulation or connective tissue, its individual bones remain in place as they would in a human body. Individual bones can be pulled out of position, but quickly return to their correct position when there is no longer an outside force acting on them. Though SCP-3114 is made of similar minerals as human bone, it is much denser and stronger, requiring more than three times as much force to break. A broken bone will mend, though it takes several weeks for a larger bone. There is no current explanation for SCP-3114's ability to move. Its observed range of motion in its joints are similar to a healthy adult female's. It is much stronger than a human of comparable size. It is able to lift at least 250 kg with one arm and has a measured grip strength of 270 kg. Its maximum observed foot speed is 60 km/h. SCP-3114 is able to react to visual stimuli, with an apparent field of view similar to a human's. However, it does not react to sound or smell. It responds to touch, but it is difficult to test its sensitivity. SCP-3114 has made no attempts to communicate See entry 16 of the experiment log. It is extremely aggressive and immediately attempts to attack any time it sees a human or other biological humanoid (referred to as targets from hereon). When it sees a potential target, SCP-3114 will take the quickest, most direct route it can, only avoiding obstacles it cannot push through. Once it reaches a target, it will latch on with its hands and begin squeezing around the throat. Once the target has stopped moving, SCP-3114 begins tearing openings in the target's body and pulling out its bones over the course of several hours. Once it has completely removed the target's skeleton, it will attempt to pull the remaining flesh over itself. This tears the flesh into multiple parts. Once the body is no longer in one large piece, it loses interest in it. When no target is present, SCP-3114 is fairly docile. It explores its enclosure but does not attempt to escape. SCP-enrichment objects such as blocks, tires, cardboard boxes, and sticks are provided and replaced at regular intervals. When the lights are turned out for the night, SCP-3114 lays down and becomes motionless. Though it resembles sleep, it is still capable of responding to visual stimuli. Experiment Log Excerpts: Entry 3: D-1724, a 120 kg adult male. Date: ██/██/████ D-1724 attempted to run when he saw SCP-3114 approach. When it caught him, he attempted to fight back but was unable to do appreciable damage to SCP-3114. However, this did agitate SCP-3114 a great deal, and damage to the subject was greater than in other observed cases. SCP-3114 gave up removing the subject's bones partway through when it became clear the subject's body was not intact. The remains were placed in a corner. SCP-3114 placed several sticks and a cardboard box on top of the subject, as though burying him. Entry 5: Store mannequin, dressed as a Class-D personnel. Date: ██/██/████ SCP-3114 ran to the subject, as expected. However, it stopped several feet away. It stared at it for several minutes, then waved a hand in front of the subject's face. It seemed confused by the lack of facial features. It proceeded to touch the top of the head, tapping it several times before it finally carried it back to its enclosure, where it placed it in the corner. It mimicked its pose several times while standing next to it. It removed the mannequin's clothes and attempted to wear them. However, it was unable to operate the belt, and could not keep the pants from falling. After several attempts, it appeared to grow frustrated. It removed the clothes, then threw them and the mannequin into a corner. Entry 6: Female gorilla Date: ██/██/████ SCP-3114 approached the subject but did not become aggressive until the subject stood up. SCP-3114 proceeded to engage in its typical behavior. However, the gorilla was able to break SCP-3114's left ulna before it expired. SCP-3114 was unable to fit itself into the subject's body, giving up after the body was no longer intact. It was "buried" in the corner, as with previous subjects. Entry 9: Male border collie Date: ██/██/████ SCP-3114 approached the subject cautiously. It examined it with its fingers and seemed surprised when the dog licked it. It interacted with the dog for two hours, becoming visibly more excited. It appeared to be engaging in play behavior. It wrestled with the dog without harming it and threw sticks for it. At one point, the dog attempted to bite SCP-3114's lower left leg, at which point SCP-3114 struck it sharply, frightening the subject. However, neither appeared to have been seriously harmed, and both returned to their play. The subject was removed from the enclosure without incident. SCP-3114 stood at the exit for several hours after the subject was removed, striking the walls repeatedly. However, it did not use enough force to cause damage to its enclosure. Entry 13: Human cadaver, female, 55kg, two days after death Date: ██/██/████ SCP-3114 reacted as it would to a live human, including an attempt to crush its throat for several minutes. Otherwise identical to tests with similarly-sized live subjects. Entry 14: Human skeleton, articulated for teaching. Date: ██/██/████ SCP-3114 approached the subject rapidly but did not attack. Instead, it examined the subject for several minutes, then began to prod it. When this elicited no response, it ran its hand along the top of the subject's head. It then carefully removed the subject from its stand and carried it back to its enclosure. It cradled the subject for several hours. It then put the subject in the same position it takes during sleep periods. Entry 16: Human cadaver, male, 145 kg, one hour after death Date: ██/██/████ Subject reacted as in Log entry 13. However, it was able to keep the body intact while it placed itself inside. It walked around its enclosure for an hour while wearing the subject. When the projection was shown to clean the enclosure, SCP-3114 did not attempt to attack the projection. Instead, it walked up to it and began to attempt interaction. D-4843, an adult male, was placed in the enclosure. When SCP-3114 approached, he attempted to escape. SCP-3114 grabbed him but did so gently. It continued to try interacting with him, taking his hand and placing it on its face, trying to ape his movements, and embracing him. He reacted negatively to all interactions. After three hours, D-4843 was removed from the enclosure. SCP-3114 waited for several minutes at the door. Then it tore the subject off of itself. It kicked the remains into a corner, then laid down next to the subject of Entry 14. It did not move for three days, at which point it resumed its normal behavior. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3114" by DrEverettMann, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3115 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3115 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3115 is to be locked inside a Standard Item Storage Locker at Site - ██. This locker is to be placed centrally within a containment cell measuring 5mx5mx5m and secured to the floor with standard steel bolts. The cell is to be lined with soundproofing material with an STC (Sound Transmission Class) rating of greater than 60. At no time should the USB of SCP-3115 be inserted into an electronic device except for the purpose of an approved test. All tests must be approved by no fewer than two Level 4 personnel stationed at Site-██ and the on-site 'Memetics Department'. TESTING HAS BEEN SUSPENDED PENDING POST-INCIDENT REVIEW BY ORDER OF THE DEPARTMENT OF SECURITY. SEE INCIDENT REPORT IR3115-A FOR FURTHER UPDATES Researchers wishing to observe testing with SCP-3115 may do so only with the aid of a video feed. No audio transmissions are permitted to leave the containment chamber whilst testing is in progress due to risk of containment breach (See Testing Log). Description: SCP-3115 is a set of standard audio headphones consistent with those manufactured in the early 21st Century. The headphones contain no external markings and show signs of slight use. The headphone portion of SCP-3115 is 'plugged in' with a standard double ended USB cable which was present with SCP-3115 at acquisition. When connected to an electronic device via the USB connector, SCP-3115 will begin to play audio snippets from various radio stations from around the world. Testing has confirmed that the radio broadcast from SCP-3115 matches that which the particular station it is tuned to is broadcasting at the time. To date, no technology capable of receiving said signals has been found in or on SCP-3115 and its means of receiving these signals is unknown. SCP-3115's anomalous effect manifests when a human being places the headphones over his ears and connects SCP-3115's USB to any electronic device (The device's ability to transmit audio data appears irrelevant, SCP-3115's anomalous properties would manifest even if connected to a USB compatible charger). When a human subject places SCP-3115 over his ears a noticeable change in the audio output will occur. The subject will continue to hear broadcasts from a random radio station, however all talking, singing and other vocalizations will now be narrated by an unknown male sounding entity known as SCP-3115/A. SCP-3115/A is described as talking with a formal English accent and has a seemingly jovial tone. SCP-3115/A will continue to narrate and sing all content broadcast from the radio station currently being broadcast by SCP-3115 in real time for approximately 15 minutes of use. SCP-3115/A will continue to narrate broadcast audio after 15 minutes of SCP-3115 being worn by a human subject, however will now include additions to the standard broadcast. The anomalous effect of SCP-3115 ceases when the headphones are removed from the human subject and the voice of the transmission will return to that of the DJ/Artist. + Level 4 Clearance Required - Clearance Accepted Addendum 3115/01: After 15 minutes have elapsed with a human subject listening to SCP-3115/A, SCP-3115/A will make additions to the standard broadcast. SCP-3115/A will at random appear to say words, phrases, and describe abstract concepts which almost without exception prove to be cognitohazardous to the human subject listening. Subjects which are exposed to the cognitohazardous vocalizations of SCP-3115/A will begin to display symptoms immediately. Symptoms increase drastically depending on the amount of vocalization additions heard. Once the original 15 minutes has elapsed there appears to be no correlation to the frequency of further additions. Number of Additions Heard Effect on Subject 1 Subject experiences visual hallucinations of varying content and severity. A consistent theme appears to be the perception of a humanoid entity standing within the room they are currently in. Subjects will perceive the audio being output by SCP-3115 as coming from this entity. Subjects universally report the early stages of a migraine at this stage. 2-4 Subject experiences symptoms from previous additions. Subjects also report the apparent inability to remove SCP-3115 from their heads or unplug it from the electronic device. Physical intervention at this stage in removing SCP-3115 from the head of a subject will cause the symptoms to abate within 1 hour. 3-5 Subject experiences symptoms from previous additions. Subjects also report seeing symbols on the walls, floor and ceiling of an unknown language. These symbols cause extreme pain in those who observe them and are capable of causing subjects to lose consciousness. 6+ Subjects expire within seconds of hearing a sixth addition. Prior to expiration subjects begin to involuntarily vocalize the cognitohazardous additions they have so far heard. This is capable of spreading the cognitohazard to further individuals. Given the rapid vocalizations of the subject at this stage, the propagation of the hazard is extremely fast and further infected individuals will enter the latter stages of infection in moments. + Show Testing Log -Hide Testing Log Test 3115-01 Subject: D-88743 Procedure: D-88743 is directed to enter the containment chamber and plug SCP-3115 into a provided USB portable power pack and remain within the room for 5 minutes. D-88743 is not directed to wear SCP-3115. Results: D-88743 follows instructions and reports faintly hearing a broadcast consistent with BBC Radio 1's morning show coming from SCP-3115. Note, D-88743 is near to SCP-3115. but is not wearing it. D-88743 disconnects SCP-3115 from the power pack and exits the chamber without incident. Analysis: Site-██ is shielded from all outside broadcasts. Audio output is later confirmed to be consistent with BBC Radio 1, however the means in which SCP-3115 has detected this signal is unknown. Test 3115-02 Subject: D-88743 Procedure: D-88743 is directed to enter the containment chamber and plug SCP-3115 into a provided USB portable power pack. D-88743 is instructed to wear SCP-3115. D-88743 is permitted to leave the containment chamber after 5 minutes as per previous test. Results: D-88743 follows instructions exactly. Upon wearing SCP-3115, D-88743 removes SCP-3115 stating surprise at hearing SCP-3115/A instead of a standard broadcast. D-88743 is instructed to place SCP-3115 on his head again, which he does without argument. After 5 minutes has elapsed, D-88743 unplugs SCP-3115, removes them from his head and leaves the containment chamber. Analysis: Audio output matches that of WKCS-FM. D-88743 is placed in observations for one week following test but shows no negative effects. D-88743 expresses reluctance to partake in further tests claiming that the voice of SCP-3115/A 'unnerved him'. Test 3115-03 Subject: D-88743 Procedure: D-88743 is instructed to follow procedures as per Test 3115-02 however is instructed to remain within the containment chamber, wearing SCP-3115 for 16 minutes. Results: Upon passing the 15 minute mark, D-88743 stands and appears panicked. D-88743 asks Research Staff how 'that guy' has been able to get into the room without using the only door (which was locked as part of testing procedures). Upon passing the 16 minute mark, D-88743 leaves the containment chamber complaining of a headache. Analysis: D-88743 reports seeing the manifestation of SCP-3115/A. D-88743 is extremely paranoid following this test and has shown an aversion to wearing any form of headphones again. D-88743 was treated in the medical bay for a migraine and was placed under observation. During this time, D-88743 spoke aloud the cognitohazardous phrase he had heard from SCP-3115/A, exposing a member of medical staff to Stage 1 infection. Class A amnestics proved effective in neutralizing infection in both persons. D-88743 is terminated as per standard D-Class protocols at the end of the month. Test 3115-04 Subject: D-4452 Procedure: D-4452 is instructed to follow procedures as per Test 3115-02 however is instructed to remain within the containment chamber, wearing SCP-3115 until instructed otherwise. Results: D-4452 follows instructions exactly. D-4452 expresses similar symptoms to D-88743 after the 15 minute mark. At 23 minutes 6 seconds following activation of SCP-3115, D-4452 begins convulsing in his seat and speaking unintelligibly (now believed to be in Stage 6 infection). D-4452 rapidly begins vocalizing cognitohazardous phrases before expiring. During this test, 5 Research Staff were observing the test using both a visual and audio feed. All five personnel were infected immediately with Stage 6 infection on hearing the cognitohazard. This quickly spread to security personnel stationed outside. A containment breach was declared and all personnel removed from within earshot of infected persons. SCP-3115 was removed from D-4452's head with the assistance of Researcher Tann who is declared medically deaf. Post-mortem examination of infected personnel deduced the cause of death to be cardiac arrest. Analysis This test caused a site-wide containment breach to be declared. A follow up investigation has lead to the current containment procedures. Testing to be indefinitely suspended pending a review by the Department of Internal Security. + Show Incident Report IR3115-A - Hide Incident Report IR3115-A INCIDENT REPORT IR3115-A On the 4th April 2017, SCP-3115 underwent its first site-wide containment breach since containment was first established. This item had been considered relatively safe by research staff given its manageable anomalous properties and as such, major liberties were taken in containment of SCP-3115 resulting in less than safe conditions. At 04:20hrs on 4th April 2017, five members from the Department of Research at Site-XX commenced Test 3115-04. This test was sanctioned by the Site Memetics Department in accordance with Foundation Policy and conformed to all containment procedures hitherto established. All personnel involved were experienced researchers with a variety of backgrounds in science and this was the fourth such test that this team had undertaken with SCP-3115. The experiment required the use of one D-class personnel designated D-4452. The aim of the test was to establish the effects of prolonged exposure to the anomalous properties of SCP-3115 on human test subjects and the subsequent effectiveness of Class A amnestics on said subjects. Prior to this test, no test subject had been exposed to the anomalous properties of SCP-3115 for more than 16 minutes. At the time the containment chamber was structurally sound, with sound proofing remaining at 100% effectiveness throughout the test. The cell was fitted with 3 standard HD CCTV cameras providing a view of all angles of the room. These cameras were fitted with standard audio microphones which could be switched on and off by the personnel in the observation booth. At the commencement of the test, all cameras and microphones were activated by the research staff to document and monitor the test as it progressed. As per standard protocols for testing on SCP-3115, all microphones were altered to only pick up loud and deliberate sound in the room, so as to prevent accidental recording of SCP-3115’s anomalous audio. At 23 minutes and 6 seconds after the commencement of the test, D-4452 began exhibiting symptoms of Stage 6 Infection of SCP-3115. D-4452 convulsed in an apparent epileptic fit for 1 minute and 32 seconds, falling from his chair in the process. It has been found that the research staff made several errors at the commencement of Stage 6 infection. At the time that D-4452 entered the advanced stage, audio recording was disabled on the microphones. In an attempt to communicate with D-4452 to enquire as to his wellbeing and in order to gather more information of the current exposure, one of the researchers activated the microphones on the cameras. A two way communication was then opened which exposed all five personnel in the observation booth to immediate Stage 6 infection of SCP-3115. The observation booth itself was not sound proofed as it was outside of SCP-3315’s containment chamber. Due to the volume of the researcher’s subsequent vocalisations, the sound permeated through the gaps in the door frame and exposed the two security guards stationed outside. Their vocalisations was then picked up by the CCTV cameras in the hallway which transmitted the infection to the Camera Control Operator in the Security Command Centre. The infection then spread throughout a small portion of the facility before the event was witnessed by a member of staff through a non-audio CCTV camera. This staff member then activated the Site’s containment breach alarm and established contact with Security stationed outside of the Containment Wing. At this time the Site’s computer mainframe underwent an automatic assessment of the situation and updated the Site Director, informing him that the containment breach did not meet the required parameters for detonation of on-site warheads. A further error in containment then occurred whereby further Security personnel entered the Containment Wing in order to re-establish containment, further spreading the infection to those personnel. Site records indicate that proper safe working protocols were not followed by staff at the site during this containment breach. Standard operating procedures for an auditory anomaly undergoing containment breach states that Mobile Task Force Eta 11 – ‘Savage Beasts’ must be informed immediately. This procedure was not followed and MTF-Eta 11 were not informed until 14 minutes and 44 seconds after the activation of the containment breach alarm. It is fortunate that Site-XX was home to personnel who are medically declared deaf. Researcher Tann in this case, had no previous experience working with SCP-3115 and was employed in a primarily back-office role. Notably, Researcher Tann only holds Level 1 Security clearance as a newer member of staff and as such was not authorised to be informed of the nature of SCP-3115 or even enter the Containment Wing. This breach of protocol is to be referred to the Department of Internal Security. Researcher Tann was able to successfully remove SCP-3115 from the head of D-4452 and eject the USB from the socket, terminating the anomalous properties of SCP-3115. Using a decibel meter, Researcher Tann then confirmed that all personnel affected by SCP-3115 had expired prior to signalling the all clear. Standard site operations resumed at 13.40hrs that day. The incident resulted in the following casualties: 1x D-Class personnel 12x Research personnel 10x Security personnel 3x Clerical personnel 1x Janitorial personnel The details of this report have been forwarded to the Committee for Post Incident Analysis and Mobile Task Force Eta 11 for their comment and endorsement. I await their response before submitting my findings to the Department of Administration in a Post Incident Review. Colonel H. Briggs Incident Review Bureau Department of Security Addendum 3115-02 : Notes on Acquisition SCP-3115 was acquired by The Foundation in 2006 when the object was discovered sitting on the approach road to Site-19 by Research Staff on their way to work. A review of the CCTV footage from around Site-19 shows an unknown male walking into the middle of the approach road from out of the surrounding woodlands before placing SCP-3115 down on the tarmac. CCTV from inside the wooded area where the male appeared does not show the male or any other traces of human life in the area and no breaches of the outer perimeter fence were discovered. The male disappeared back into the woods moments before the personnel discovered the item. Note from Researcher Katash An excerpt from the CCTV footage captured at the acquisition of SCP-3115 was shown to D-88743 prior to his termination. He has confirmed my suspicions that the male who delivered the SCP to us matches the description of SCP-3115/A. Given that SCP-3115/A is likely a real individual and more than likely the creator of SCP-3115, his capture and interrogation are of high priority. We need to know this guy's motives, after all we could have just brought a memetic weapon straight into one of our facilities. Recommend improved screening of all such 'deliveries' in the future - Researcher Katash |
